Impact of caspase-1/11, -3, -7, or IL-1β/IL-18 deficiency on rabies virus-induced macrophage cell death and onset of disease [PDF]

, 2017
Rabies virus is a highly neurovirulent RNA virus, which causes about 59000 deaths in humans each year. Previously, we described macrophage cytotoxicity upon infection with rabies virus.

Pyroptosis in Antiviral Immunity

, 2019
Pyroptosis is a form of lytic, programmed cell death that functions as an innate immune effector mechanism to facilitate host defense against pathogenic microorganisms, including viruses. This type of proinflammatory cell death is orchestrated by proteolytic activation of human or mouse caspase-1, mouse caspase-11 and human caspase-4 and caspase-5 in ...

Role of pyroptosis in cardiovascular disease [PDF]

Cell Proliferation, 2018
AbstractCardiac function is determined by the dynamic equilibrium of various cell types and the extracellular matrix that composes the heart. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, are often accompanied by cell death and acute/chronic inflammatory reactions. Caspase‐dependent pyroptosis is characterized by

Nanocarrier‐Based Targeting of Pattern Recognition Receptors as an Innovative Strategy for Enhancing Sepsis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent progress in nanocarriers targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll‐like and NOD‐like receptors, for enhancing the treatment of bacterial sepsis and related complications. These nanomedicines deliver antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents while modulating immune responses.

Artesunate Nanoplatform Targets the Serine–MAPK Axis in Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts to Reverse Photothermal Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The artesunate nanoplatform selectively targets ECM CAF, functioning as a GTPase inhibitor through disruption of intracellular serine homeostasis. This metabolic intervention effectively suppresses MAPK cascade activity, which consequently inhibits PTT‐induced CAF to ECM CAF differentiation.

Regulatory T cells alleviate myelin loss and cognitive dysfunction by regulating neuroinflammation and microglial pyroptosis via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway in LPC-induced demyelination

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Demyelination occurs in multiple central nervous system (CNS) disorders and is tightly associated with neuroinflammation. Pyroptosis is a form of pro-inflammatory and lytic cell death which has been observed in CNS diseases recently.

Single-cell analysis of pyroptosis dynamics reveals conserved GSDMD-mediated subcellular events that precede plasma membrane rupture [PDF]

, 2019
Pyroptosis is rapidly emerging as a mechanism of anti-microbial host defense, and of extracellular release of the inflammasome-dependent cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 beta and IL-18, which contributes to autoinflammatory pathology. Caspases 1, 4, 5 and 11

Pyroptosis: a double-edged sword in lung cancer and other respiratory diseases

Cell communication and signaling : CCS
Pyroptosis is an active cell death process mediated by gasdermin family proteins including Gasdermin A (GSDMA), Gasdermin B (GSDMB), Gasdermin C (GSDMC), Gasdermin D (GSDMD), Gasdermin E (GSDME, DFNA5), and DFNB59.

Inhibition of RACK1‐Mediated NLRP3 Oligomerization (Active Conformation) Ameliorates Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the potential mechanism of bigelovin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome Bigelovin may inhibit activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1) by directly binding with cys168 of RACK1. Bigelovin thus prevents oligomerization of NLRP3 (NLRP3 active conformation) and subsequent assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, blocking the activation of
