Heatstroke induces liver injury via IL-1β and HMGB1-induced pyroptosis

TL;DR: These findings demonstrate an important role of HMGB1 in mediating inflammasome activation in the development of liver injury following HS, and suggest that targeting inflammaome may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to limit cell death and prevent liver failure after HS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil extracellular traps promote macrophage pyroptosis in sepsis

TL;DR: It is shown that NET-derived HMGB1, acting through RAGE and dynamin-dependent signaling, triggers an intra-Mϕ cascade of molecular events including cathepsin B (CatB) release from the ruptured lysosomes, followed by pyroptosome formation and caspase-1 activation, and subsequent Mϕ pyroPTosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kindlin-2 controls TGF-β signalling and Sox9 expression to regulate chondrogenesis

TL;DR: A previously unrecognized function for Kindlin-2 is uncovered and a mechanism for regulation of the chondrocyte differentiation programme and chondrogenesis is found, resulting in progressive dwarfism and kyphosis in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of MCP-1/CCR2 axis promotes prostate cancer growth in bone.

TL;DR: It is concluded that activation of MCP-1/CCR2 axis promotes PCa growth in bone and suggests that M CP-1 may be a target for PCa progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

TLR4-Upregulated IL-1β and IL-1RI Promote Alveolar Macrophage Pyroptosis and Lung Inflammation through an Autocrine Mechanism

TL;DR: A novel mechanism underlying LPS-induced innate immunity is demonstrated, that is, a secondary upregulation of IL-1β-IL-1RI signaling is responsible for AM pyroptosis and augmented lung injury in response to LPS.
