Caspase-1-induced pyroptosis is an innate immune effector mechanism against intracellular bacteria (111.33)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activation of caspase-1 clears intracellular bacteria in vivo independently of IL-1β and IL-18 and establishes pyroptosis as an efficient mechanism of bacterial clearance by the innate immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pore-Forming Protein Gasdermin D Regulates Interleukin-1 Secretion from Living Macrophages.

TL;DR: It is reported that the pyroptosis regulator gasdermin D (GSDMD) was necessary for IL‐1 secretion from living macrophages that have been exposed to inflammasome activators, such as bacteria and their products or host‐derived oxidized lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyroptosis: mechanisms and diseases.

TL;DR: It is described that pyroptosis is a double-edged sword for tumors and the rational use of this dual effect will help to further explore the formation and development of tumors, and provide ideas for patients to develop new drugs based on pyroPTosis.

Improved monomeric red, orange and yellow fluorescent proteins derived from Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein.

TL;DR: The latest red version matures more completely, is more tolerant of N-terminal fusions and is over tenfold more photostable than mRFP1, and three monomers with distinguishable hues from yellow-orange to red-orange have higher quantum efficiencies.

Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death

TL;DR: Gasdermin D (Gsdmd) is identified by genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat-Cas9 nuclease screens of caspase-11- and caspasing-1-mediated pyroptosis in mouse bone marrow macrophages to offer insight into inflammasome-mediated immunity/diseases and change the understanding of pyroPTosis and programmed necrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammasome-activated gasdermin D causes pyroptosis by forming membrane pores

TL;DR: It is shown that GSDMD-NT oligomerizes in membranes to form pores that are visible by electron microscopy and kills cell-free bacteria in vitro and may have a direct bactericidal effect within the cytosol of host cells, but the importance of direct bacterial killing in controlling in vivo infection remains to be determined.

A large-scale, consortium-based genomewide association study of asthma.

TL;DR: A few common alleles are associated with disease risk at all ages and suggest a role for communication of epithelial damage to the adaptive immune system and activation of airway inflammation in asthma.
