Differential roles of caspase-1 and caspase-11 in infection and inflammation
Caspase-1, also known as interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-converting enzyme (ICE), regulates antimicrobial host defense, tissue repair, tumorigenesis, metabolism and membrane biogenesis. On activation within an inflammasome complex, caspase-1 induces pyroptosis and converts pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 into their biologically active forms. "ICE-/-" or "Casp1-/-" mice generated using 129 embryonic stem cells c...
متن کاملCaspase-1 inflammasomes in infection and inflammation.
Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) constitute a family of germline-encoded pattern-recognition receptors, which allow the host to respond rapidly to a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Here, we discuss recent advances in the study of a subset of NLRs, which control the activation of caspase-1 through the assembly of large protein complexes, inflammasome...
متن کاملCaspase-11 attenuates gastrointestinal inflammation and experimental colitis pathogenesis.
Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing protein inflammasome formation plays an essential role in modulating immune system homeostasis in the gut. Recently, a caspase-11 noncanonical inflammasome has been characterized and appears to modulate many biological functions that were previously considered to be solely dependent on caspase-1 and the canonical inflammasome. To bett...
متن کاملCaspase-11 Modulates Inflammation and Attenuates Toxoplasma gondii Pathogenesis
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that is the etiologic agent responsible for toxoplasmosis. Infection with T. gondii results in activation of nucleotide binding domain and leucine rich repeat containing receptors (NLRs). NLR activation leads to inflammasome formation, the activation of caspase-1, and the subsequent cleavage of IL-1β and IL-18. Recently, a noncanonical inf...
متن کاملDual Role of Caspase-11 in Mediating Activation of Caspase-1 and Caspase-3 under Pathological Conditions
Caspase-11, a member of the murine caspase family, has been shown to be an upstream activator of caspase-1 in regulating cytokine maturation. We demonstrate here that in addition to its defect in cytokine maturation, caspase-11-deficient mice have a reduced number of apoptotic cells and a defect in caspase-3 activation after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), a mouse model of stroke. Reco...
