Bacillus cereus non-haemolytic enterotoxin activates the NLRP3 inflammasome [PDF]
Inflammasomes are important for host defence against pathogens and homeostasis with commensal microbes. Here, we show non-haemolytic enterotoxin (NHE) from the neglected human foodborne pathogen Bacillus cereus is an activator of the NLRP3 inflammasome ...

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.

Regulation of Pyroptosis by ncRNA: A Novel Research Direction
Pyroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death (PCD), which is characterized by DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation, cell swelling and leakage of cell contents.

The mitochondrial protease HtrA2 restricts the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes. [PDF]
Activation of the inflammasome pathway is crucial for effective intracellular host defense. The mitochondrial network plays an important role in inflammasome regulation but the mechanisms linking mitochondrial homeostasis to attenuation of inflammasome ...

Summary: Hepatocyte pyroptosis has been shown to be involved in liver damage progression. Previously, we found that growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is a regulator of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation. However, whether GAS5 plays a role in hepatocyte

Increased gene copy number of DEFA1/DEFA3 worsens sepsis by inducing endothelial pyroptosis. [PDF]
Sepsis claims an estimated 30 million episodes and 6 million deaths per year, and treatment options are rather limited. Human neutrophil peptides 1-3 (HNP1-3) are the most abundant neutrophil granule proteins but their neutrophil content varies because ...

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]
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 and Airway Homeostasis Regulation
Pyroptosis is a form of cell death associated with inflammation. In the maintenance of airway homeostasis, pyroptosis goes through activation and assembly of Inflammasome. The pyroptosis pathway is mediated by caspase which activates the pore-forming effect of substrate gasdermin family members.

Pyroptosis as a candidate therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease
Pyroptosis is a form of cell death mediated by inflammasomes and gasdermins, and the relevance of pyroptosis to neurodegenerative diseases is currently receiving increasing attention.
