A Mechanistic Understanding of Pyroptosis: The Fiery Death Triggered by Invasive Infection.
Immune cells and skin and mucosal epithelial cells recognize invasive microbes and other signs of danger to sound alarms that recruit responder cells and initiate an immediate "innate" immune response. An especially powerful alarm is triggered by cytosolic sensors of invasive infection that assemble into multimolecular complexes, called inflammasomes, that activate the inflammatory caspases, le...
متن کاملGSDMD membrane pore formation constitutes the mechanism of pyroptotic cell death
Pyroptosis is a lytic type of cell death that is initiated by inflammatory caspases. These caspases are activated within multi-protein inflammasome complexes that assemble in response to pathogens and endogenous danger signals. Pyroptotic cell death has been proposed to proceed via the formation of a plasma membrane pore, but the underlying molecular mechanism has remained unclear. Recently, ga...
متن کاملThe Inflammasome Drives GSDMD-Independent Secondary Pyroptosis and IL-1 Release in the Absence of Caspase-1 Protease Activity
Inflammasomes activate the protease caspase-1, which cleaves interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 to generate the mature cytokines and controls their secretion and a form of inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis. By generating mice expressing enzymatically inactive caspase-1C284A, we provide genetic evidence that caspase-1 protease activity is required for canonical IL-1 secretion, pyroptosis,...
متن کاملDengue Virus Perturbs Mitochondrial Morphodynamics to Dampen Innate Immune Responses.
With no antiviral drugs or widely available vaccines, Dengue virus (DENV) constitutes a public health concern. DENV replicates at ER-derived cytoplasmic structures that include substructures called convoluted membranes (CMs); however, the purpose of these membrane alterations remains unclear. We determine that DENV nonstructural protein (NS)4B, a promising drug target with unknown function, ass...
متن کاملPyroptosis
Injury and physical trauma may inflict accidental cell death, but we have come to realize during the past four decades that cells may also actively engage cell death when needed. These regulated cell death forms are intrinsically connected with human embryonic development, homeostatic maintenance and disease pathology. For instance, the human body is composed of approximately 10(14) cells, mill...
