TLDR
The discovery of caspase-11/4/5 function in sensing intracellular lipopolysaccharide expands the spectrum of pyroptosis mediators and also reveals that pyroPTosis is not cell type specific.

Coral gasdermin triggers pyroptosis.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that gasdermin-mediated cell death is likely conserved in some invertebrates and may represent an immune defense activated in corals during bacterial infection resulting from environmental stress and suggest that mediation of pyroptosis is an evolutionarily conserved function of gasdermins.

Gasdermin D Protects from Melioidosis through Pyroptosis and Direct Killing of Bacteria.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the protective action of GSDMD in melioidosis is primarily due to induction of pyroptosis and direct killing of bacteria rather than production of cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bruton tyrosine kinase deficiency augments NLRP3 inflammasome activation and causes IL-1β-mediated colitis.

TL;DR: These studies strongly suggest that BTK functions as a physiologic inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome activation; they thereby explain the fact that XLA patients are prone to develop Crohn's disease.

Cathepsin B aggravates coxsackievirus B3-induced myocarditis through activating the inflammasome and promoting pyroptosis

TL;DR: The results suggest that CatB aggravates CVB3-induced VMC probably through activating the inflammasome and promoting pyroptosis, which might provide a novel strategy for VMC treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspase-1 inhibition prevents neuronal death by targeting the canonical inflammasome pathway of pyroptosis in a murine model of cerebral ischemia.

TL;DR: The specific pyroptosis inhibitor Vx765 was used as an experimental intervention target in a murine model of stroke to establish the involvement of pyroPTosis in ischemic stroke.

The inflammasome: a molecular platform triggering activation of inflammatory caspases and processing of proIL-beta.

TL;DR: In this article, the inflammasome is identified as a caspase-activating complex that comprises caspases-1, casp-5, Pycard/Asc, and NALP1, a Pyrin domain-containing protein sharing structural homology with NODs.

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.

Classification of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death

TL;DR: This study details the 2009 recommendations of the NCCD on the use of cell death-related terminology including ‘entosis’, ‘mitotic catastrophe”,’ ‘necrosis‚ ‘necroptosis‚’ and ‘pyroptotic’.
