Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
, 2019 For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

Gasdermins: Effectors of Pyroptosis [PDF]
Trends in Cell Biology, 2017 Pyroptosis is a form of lytic programmed cell death initiated by inflammasomes, which detect cytosolic contamination or perturbation. This drives activation of caspase-1 or caspase-11/4/5, which cleave gasdermin D, separating its N-terminal pore-forming domain (PFD) from the C-terminal repressor domain (RD).

NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasome activation in MRP8+ cells is sufficient to cause systemic inflammatory disease. [PDF]
, 2017 Inflammasomes are cytosolic multiprotein complexes that initiate protective immunity in response to infection, and can also drive auto-inflammatory diseases, but the cell types and signalling pathways that cause these diseases remain poorly understood ...

Pyroptosis Induction and Detection [PDF]
Current Protocols in Immunology, 2018 AbstractPyroptosis is a form of programmed pro‐inflammatory cell death that plays a protective role in the host response to infection, but can also promote pathogenic inflammation. Pyroptosis is mediated by the cysteine protease, caspase‐1. Caspase‐1 cleaves gasdermin D, releasing the N‐terminal pore‐forming domain, which inserts into the plasma ...

Mesenchymal stem cells protect against TBI-induced pyroptosis in vivo and in vitro through TSG-6
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022 Background Pyroptosis, especially microglial pyroptosis, may play an important role in central nervous system pathologies, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), such as human umbilical cord MSCs (hUMSCs)

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 BackgroundIt is well known that chronic inflammation can promote the occurrence and progression of cancer. As a type of proinflammatory death, pyroptosis can recast a suitable microenvironment to promote tumor growth.

Legionella pneumophila strain 130b evades macrophage cell death independent of the effector SidF in the absence of flagellin [PDF]
, 2017 International audienceThe human pathogen Legionella pneumophila must evade host cell death signaling to enable replication in lung macrophages and to cause disease. After bacterial growth, however, L.

Approaching Neutrophil Pyroptosis
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2022 All cells must die at some point, and the dogma is that they do it either silently via apoptosis or via pro-inflammatory, lytic forms of death. Amongst these lytic cell death pathways, pyroptosis is one of the best characterized. Pyroptosis depends on inflammatory caspases which activate members of the gasdermin family of proteins, and it is associated

The role of pyroptosis and its crosstalk with immune therapy in breast cancer
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Pyroptosis is a brand-new category of programmed cell death (PCD) that is brought on by multitudinous inflammasomes, which can recognize several stimuli to pilot the cleavage of and activate inflammatory cytokines like IL-18 and IL-1β is believed to have

Gasdermin pores permeabilize mitochondria to augment caspase-3 activation during apoptosis and inflammasome activation. [PDF]
, 2019 Gasdermin E (GSDME/DFNA5) cleavage by caspase-3 liberates the GSDME-N domain, which mediates pyroptosis by forming pores in the plasma membrane.
