Identification of a pyroptosis‐based model for predicting clinical outcomes from immunotherapy in patients with metastatic melanoma

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2023
Immunotherapy has greatly improved outcomes for patients with advanced melanoma, but good predictive biomarkers remain lacking in clinical practice. Although increasing evidence has revealed a vital role of pyroptosis in the tumor microenvironment (TME),

Comprehensive Characterization of Pyroptosis Patterns with Implications in Prognosis and Immunotherapy in Low-Grade Gliomas

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background: Due to high heterogeneity and mortality of low-grade gliomas (LGGs), it is of great significance to find biomarkers for prognosis and immunotherapy.

Cleavage of DFNA5 by caspase-3 during apoptosis mediates progression to secondary necrotic/pyroptotic cell death. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Apoptosis is a genetically regulated cell suicide programme mediated by activation of the effector caspases 3, 6 and 7. If apoptotic cells are not scavenged, they progress to a lytic and inflammatory phase called secondary necrosis.

Uromodulin, Inflammasomes, and Pyroptosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2012
As a kidney-specific protein, uromodulin has fascinated nephrologists for decades.[1][1] Initially known as Tamm-Horsfall protein, uromodulin is secreted by distal tubules into the urine, where it is the most abundant protein under physiologic conditions.

Defusing inflammasomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this issue of JEM, Boucher et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20172222) report isolation of active caspase-1 from macrophages after inflammasome activation.

Inflammasomes: caspase-1-activating platforms with critical roles in host defense [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Activation of the inflammatory cysteine protease caspase-1 in inflammasome complexes plays a critical role in the host response to microbial infections.

Reactive oxygen species regulate caspase-11 expression and activation of the non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome during enteric pathogen infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic bacterial infections in humans are a severe cause of morbidity and mortality. Although NOD-like receptors (NLRs) NOD2 and NLRP3 have important roles in the generation of protective immune responses to enteric ...

Pyroptosis in liver disease

open access: yesRevista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas, 2020
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory cell death process that is dependent on caspase. Pyroptosis is a specific form of programmed cell death with the morphological characteristics of formation of pores on the cell membrane, cell swelling, and rupture of the plasma membrane.

Caspase-1 engagement and TLR-induced c-FLIP expression suppress ASC/caspase-8-dependent apoptosis by inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD)-based inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 induce caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis independent of the inflammasome adaptor ASC.

ASC filament formation serves as a signal amplification mechanism for inflammasomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A hallmark of inflammasome activation is the ASC speck, a micrometre-sized structure formed by the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), which consists of a pyrin domain (PYD) and a caspase ...
