TLDR
In this article , the authors identify the NLRP1 inflammasome as a sensor of SARS-CoV-2 infection in lung epithelia and demonstrate that 3CL proteases also inactivate the pyroptosis executioner Gasdermin D (GSDMD).

Pyroptotic cell death in SARS-CoV-2 infection: revealing its roles during the immunopathogenesis of COVID-19

TL;DR: An overview of the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 infection and pyroptosis is presented and recent research advances in the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the implication of the pyroPTosis pathways in COVID-19 pathogenesis are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent insights into innate immune nucleic acid sensing during viral infection.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reveal that viruses also induce the release of host nucleic acid from the nucleus and mitochondria into the cytosol, which boosts the activation of antiviral PRRs.

An epithelial-immune circuit amplifies inflammasome and IL-6 responses to SARS-CoV-2

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the underlying mechanisms of IL-1β and IL-6 release from primary human airway epithelia (HAE) after SARS-CoV-2 infection in severe COVID-19.

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.

The trinity of COVID-19: immunity, inflammation and intervention.

TL;DR: The interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the immune system and the subsequent contribution of dysfunctional immune responses to disease progression is described and the implications of these approaches for potential therapeutic interventions that target viral infection and/or immunoregulation are highlighted.
