Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted disruption of pyrin, the FMF protein, causes heightened sensitivity to endotoxin and a defect in macrophage apoptosis.

TL;DR: A critical role for pyrin in the innate immune response, possibly by acting on ASC, is supported and a biologic basis for the selection of hypomorphic pyrIn variants in man is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiogenesis defects and mesenchymal apoptosis in mice lacking SMAD5

TL;DR: It is shown that Smad5 was expressed predominantly in mesenchyme and somites during embryogenesis, and in many tissues of the adult, and that it is essential for mesenchymal survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gain-of-Function Pyrin Mutations Induce NLRP3 Protein-Independent Interleukin-1β Activation and Severe Autoinflammation in Mice

TL;DR: The data provide evidence for an ASC-dependent NLRP3-independent inflammasome in which gain-of-function pyrin mutations cause autoinflammatory disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired granulopoiesis, myelodysplasia, and early lethality in CCAAT/enhancer binding protein epsilon-deficient mice.

TL;DR: End-stage mice develop myelodysplasia, characterized by proliferation of atypical granulocytes that efface the bone marrow and result in severe tissue destruction.
