Non-Canonical Inflammasome Pathway: The Role of Cell Death and Inflammation in Ehrlichiosis [PDF]
Activating inflammatory caspases and releasing pro-inflammatory mediators are two essential functions of inflammasomes which are triggered in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

A novel mechanism of Korean Red Ginseng-mediated anti-inflammatory action via targeting caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome in macrophages [PDF]
Background: Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) was reported to play an anti-inflammatory role, however, previous studies largely focused on the effects of KRG on priming step, the inflammation-preparing step, and the anti-inflammatory effect of KRG on triggering ...

The oxidized phospholipid oxPAPC protects from septic shock by targeting the non-canonical inflammasome in macrophages [PDF]
Non-canonical inflammasome activation is mediated by caspase-11 in mice and caspase-4 in humans. Here the authors show that oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (oxPAPC) competes with LPS for binding to these caspases and in

Hepatocytes Are Resistant to Cell Death From Canonical and Non-Canonical Inflammasome-Activated PyroptosisSummary [PDF]
Background: Pyroptosis, gasdermin-mediated programmed cell death, is readily induced in macrophages by activation of the canonical inflammasome (caspase-1) or by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated non-canonical inflammasome (caspase-11 ...

Leishmania Lipophosphoglycan Triggers Caspase-11 and the Non-canonical Activation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
Summary: Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by Leishmania parasites is critical for the outcome of leishmaniasis, a disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

The Protective Effects of Goitrin on LPS-Induced Septic Shock in C57BL/6J Mice via Caspase-11 Non-Canonical Inflammasome Inhibition [PDF]
Septic shock is defined as a subset of sepsis, which is associated with a considerably high mortality risk. The caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome is sensed and activated by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leading to pyroptosis, it plays a ...

NLRP11 is required for canonical NLRP3 and non-canonical inflammasome activation during human macrophage infection with mycobacteria [PDF]
The NLRP11 protein is only expressed in primates and participates in the activation of the canonical NLRP3 and non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation after infection with gram-negative bacteria. Here, we generated a series of defined NLRP11 deletion

NAD+ prevents septic shock-induced death by non-canonical inflammasome blockade and IL-10 cytokine production in macrophages [PDF]
Septic shock is characterized by an excessive inflammatory response depicted in a cytokine storm that results from invasive bacterial, fungi, protozoa, and viral infections.

The non-canonical inflammasome activators Caspase-4 and Caspase-5 are differentially regulated during immunosuppression-associated organ damage [PDF]
The non-canonical inflammasome, which includes caspase-11 in mice and caspase-4 and caspase-5 in humans, is upregulated during inflammatory processes and activated in response to bacterial infections to carry out pyroptosis.

Interferon signalling and non-canonical inflammasome activation promote host protection against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii are of major concern worldwide due to their resistance to last resort carbapenem and polymyxin antibiotics.
