Abstract
Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory form of programmed cell death featured with membrane pore formation that causes cellular swelling and allows the release of intracellular inflammatory mediators. This cell death process is elicited by the activation of the pore-forming proteins named gasdermins, and is intricately orchestrated by diverse regulatory factors in mammalian hosts to exert a prompt immune response against infections. However, growing evidence suggests that bacterial pathogens have evolved to regulate host pyroptosis for evading immune clearance and establishing progressive infection. In this review, we highlight current understandings of the functional role and regulatory network of pyroptosis in host antibacterial immunity. Thereafter, we further discuss the latest advances elucidating the mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens modulate pyroptosis through adopting their effector proteins to drive infections. A better understanding of regulatory mechanisms underlying pyroptosis at the interface of host-bacterial interactions will shed new light on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and contribute to the development of promising therapeutic strategies against bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
The family of gasdermin proteins plays a key role in the host response against external and internal pathogenic signals by mediating the form of inflammatory regulated cell death known as pyroptosis. One of the most well-studied gasdermins within innate immunity is gasdermin D, which is cleaved, oligomerizes, and forms plasma membrane pores. Gasdermin D pores lead to a number of downstream cellular consequences including plasma membrane rupture, or cell lysis. In this review, we describe mechanisms of activation for each of the gasdermins, their cell type specificity and some disease associations. We then discuss downstream consequences of gasdermin pore formation, including cellular mechanisms of membrane repair. Finally, we present some important next steps to better understand pyroptosis and the cellular consequences of gasdermin pore formation.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is notoriously resistant to current therapies due to tumor heterogeneity. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) possess infinite self-renewal potential and contribute to the inherent heterogeneity of GC. Despite its crucial role in chemoresistance, the mechanism of stemness maintenance of gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) remains largely unknown. Here, we present evidence that lengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domain (LGSN), a vital cell fate determinant, is overexpressed in GCSCs and is highly correlated with malignant progression and poor survival in GC patients. Ectopic overexpression of LGSN in GCSC-derived differentiated cells facilitated their dedifferentiation and treatment resistance by interacting with vimentin and inducing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Notably, genetic interference of LGSN effectively suppressed tumor formation by inhibiting GCSC stemness maintenance and provoking gasdermin-D-mediated pyroptosis through vimentin degradation/NLRP3 signaling. Depletion of LGSN combined with the chemo-drugs 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin could offer a unique and promising approach to synergistically rendering this deadly cancer eradicable in vivo. Our data place focus on the role of LGSN in GCSC regeneration and emphasize the critical importance of pyroptosis in battling GCSC.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a form of cell death that is characterized by the destruction of the cell, and it has implications in both the immune system and cancer immunotherapy. The gasdermin family is responsible for the activation of pyroptosis, which involves the formation of pores in the cellular membrane that permit the discharge of inflammatory factors. The inflammasome response is a powerful mechanism that helps to eliminate bacteria and cancer cells when cellular damage occurs. As tumor cells become more resilient to apoptosis, other treatments for cancer are becoming more popular. It is essential to gain a thorough understanding of pyroptosis in order to use it in cancer treatment, considering the intricate association between pyroptosis and the immune system's defensive reaction against tumors. This review offers an overview of the mechanisms of pyroptosis, the relationship between the gasdermin family and pyroptosis, and the interplay between pyroptosis and anti-tumor immunity. In addition, the potential implications of pyroptosis in cancer immunotherapy are discussed. Additionally, we explore future research possibilities and introduce a novel approach to tumor treatment.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is an inflammation-dependent type of cell death that has been in the spotlight for the scientific community in the last few years. Crucial players in the process of pyroptosis are the members of the gasdermin family of proteins, which have been parallelly studied. Upon induction of pyroptosis, gasdermins suffer from structural changes leading to the formation of pores in the membrane that subsequently cause the release of pro-inflammatory contents. Recently, it has been discovered that oxidation plays a key role in the activation of certain gasdermins. Here, we review the current knowledge on pyroptosis and human gasdermins, focusing on the description of the different members of the family, their molecular structures, and their influence on health and disease directly or non-directly related to inflammation. Noteworthy, we have focused on the existing understanding of the role of this family of proteins in cancer, which could translate into novel promising strategies aimed at benefiting human health. In conclusion, the modulation of pyroptosis and gasdermins by natural and synthetic compounds through different mechanisms, including modification of the redox state of cells, has been proven effective and sets precedents for future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), the key pathological process in low back pain, is characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive cell death. Pyroptosis is a type of pro-inflammatory programmed necrosis mediated by inflammasomes that is dependent on the gasdermin family of proteins. An in-depth study of the pathological mechanisms of IDD has revealed that pyroptosis plays an important role in its occurrence and development. The molecular characteristics and activation signaling mechanisms of pyroptosis are reviewed in this paper. Moreover, the specific roles of pyroptosis in IDD pathology are outlined and various targeted drugs for its treatment are highlighted.

AMIGO2 attenuates innate cisplatin sensitivity by suppression of GSDME-conferred pyroptosis in non-small cell lung cancer. J Cell Mol Med 2023; 27:2412-2423.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of lung cancer. Cisplatin is commonly used in the treatment of many malignant tumours including NSCLC. The innate drug sensitivity greatly affects the clinical efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy. As a plasma membrane adhesion molecule, amphoterin-induced gene and ORF-2 (AMIGO2) initially identified as a neurite outgrowth factor has been recently found to play a crucial role in cancer occurrence and progression. However, it is still unclear whether AMIGO2 is involved in innate cisplatin sensitivity. In the present study, we provided the in vitro and in vivo evidences indicating that the alteration of AMIGO2 expression triggered changes of innate cisplatin sensitivity as well as cisplatin-induced pyroptosis in NSCLC. Further results revealed that AMIGO2 might inhibit cisplatin-induced activation of (caspase-8 and caspase-9)/caspase-3 via stimulating PDK1/Akt (T308) signalling axis, resulting in suppression of GSDME cleavage and the subsequent cell pyroptosis, thereby decreasing the sensitivity of NSCLC cells to cisplatin treatment. The results provided a new insight that AMIGO2 regulated the innate cisplatin sensitivity of NSCLC through GSDME-mediated pyroptosis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is a primary liver cancer subtype, has a poor prognosis due to its high degree of malignancy. The lack of early diagnosis makes systemic therapy the only hope for HCC patients with advanced disease; however, resistance to drugs is a major obstacle. In recent years, targeted molecular therapy has gained popularity as a potential treatment for HCC. An increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are cancer markers and a potential target for HCC therapy, can both promote and inhibit the disease. At present, many studies have examined targeted regulation of ROS in the treatment of HCC. Here, we reviewed the latest drugs that are still in the experimental stage, including nanocarrier drugs, exosome drugs, antibody drugs, aptamer drugs and polysaccharide drugs, to provide new hope for the clinical treatment of HCC patients.

Abstract
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne infection with a high mortality rate in humans, which is caused by Dabie bandavirus (DBV), formerly known as SFTS virus. Clinical manifestations of SFTS are characterized by high fever, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, hemorrhage, gastrointestinal symptoms, myalgia and local lymph node enlargement with up to 30% case fatality rates in human. Macrophage depletion in secondary lymphoid organs have important roles in the pathogenic process of fatal SFTS, but its exact cell death mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we showed for the first time that DBV infection induced macrophagic pyroptosis, as evidenced by swollen cells, pore-forming structures, accumulation of gasdermin D N-terminal (GSDMD-NT) as well as the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and IL-1β in human macrophages. In addition to the upregulation of pyronecrosis genes, the expressions of pyroptosis-related proteins (GSDMD, caspase-1 and IL-1β) were also elevated. To be noted, platelets were found to play a protective role in DBV-derived pyroptosis. Transcriptome analysis and in vitro studies demonstrated that platelets significantly reduced the gene expressions and protein production of pro-pyroptotic markers and inflammatory cytokines in macrophages, whereas platelets conferred a propagation advantage for DBV. Collectively, this study demonstrates a novel mechanism by which DBV invasion triggers pyroptosis as a host defense to remove replication niches in human macrophages and platelets provide an additional layer to reduce cellular death. These findings may have important implications to the pathogenesis of lethal DBV, and provide new ideas for developing novel therapeutics to combat its infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammatory responses have been reported to be associated with low muscle mass and systemic immune-inflammation index(SII) is a novel indicator of inflammation. The purpose of our study was to clarify the relationship between SII and low muscle mass. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional study based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2018). SII was calculated as the platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. Appendicular skeletal muscle index was used to define low muscle mass. The individuals were divided into four groups by the quartile of SII (Q1-Q4). Multivariate weighted logistic regression analysis, smooth curve fitting and subgroup analysis were used to investigate the relationship between SII and sarcopenia. Subgroup analysis were based on demographic and clinical variables. RESULTS There were 10,367 individuals enrolled in our final analysis. The overall mean age was 39.39 years and 49.17% were males. The overall prevalence of low muscle mass in the study population was 8.77%. The smooth curve fitting analysis indicated a near-linear relationship between SII and low muscle mass. In multivariate weighted logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio (OR) of Q4 is 1.28 (95% CI, 1.16-1.40) for low muscle mass when compared to lowest quartile of the SII. In subgroup analysis, SII still increased the risk of low muscle mass independently. CONCLUSION The increased SII levels were associated with an increased risk of low muscle mass in a large population. Our study increased the understanding between inflammation and low muscle mass. Anti-inflammation therapy may be important for low muscle mass.

Abstract
Inflammatory caspases sensing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to drive gasdermin (GSDM)-mediated pyroptosis is an important immune response mechanism for anti-infection defense in mammals. In this work, we resolved an LPS-induced and GSDM-gated pyroptosis signaling cascade in Cnidarians. Initially, we identified a functional GSDM protein, HyGSDME, in Hydra, executing cytosolic LPS-induced pyroptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. Further, we identified a proinflammatory caspase, HyCaspA, capable of sensing cytosolic LPS by an uncharacterized N-terminal domain relying on its unique hydrophobic property, thereby triggering its oligomerization and self-activation. Subsequently, the LPS-activated HyCaspA cleaved an apoptotic caspase, HyCARD2, to trigger HyGSDME-gated pyroptosis. Last, HyGSDME exhibited an enriched distribution on the ectodermal layer of Hydra polyps, exerting a canonical immune defense function against surface-invading bacteria. Collectively, our work resolved an ancient pyroptosis signaling cascade in Hydra, suggesting that inflammatory caspases sensing cytosolic LPS to initiate GSDM-gated pyroptosis are a conserved immune defense mechanism from Cnidarians to mammals.

Yersiniabactin-Producing E. coli Induces the Pyroptosis of Intestinal Epithelial Cells via the NLRP3 Pathway and Promotes Gut Inflammation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11451. [PMID: 37511208 PMCID: PMC10380849 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The high-pathogenicity island (HPI) was initially identified in Yersinia and can be horizontally transferred to Escherichia coli to produce yersiniabactin (Ybt), which enhances the pathogenicity of E. coli by competing with the host for Fe3+. Pyroptosis is gasdermin-induced necrotic cell death. It involves the permeabilization of the cell membrane and is accompanied by an inflammatory response. It is still unclear whether Ybt HPI can cause intestinal epithelial cells to undergo pyroptosis and contribute to gut inflammation during E. coli infection. In this study, we infected intestinal epithelial cells of mice with E. coli ZB-1 and the Ybt-deficient strain ZB-1Δirp2. Our findings demonstrate that Ybt-producing E. coli is more toxic and exacerbates gut inflammation during systemic infection. Mechanistically, our results suggest the involvement of the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway in E. coli infection. Ybt promotes the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to GSDMD cleavage into GSDMD-N and promoting the pyroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells, ultimately aggravating gut inflammation. Notably, NLRP3 knockdown alleviated these phenomena, and the binding of free Ybt to NLRP3 may be the trigger. Overall, our results show that Ybt HPI enhances the pathogenicity of E. coli and induces pyroptosis via the NLRP3 pathway, which is a new mechanism through which E. coli promotes gut inflammation. Furthermore, we screened drugs targeting NLRP3 from an existing drug library, providing a list of potential drug candidates for the treatment of gut injury caused by E. coli.

Lycium ruthenicum Murr. anthocyanins inhibit hyperproliferation of synovial fibroblasts from rheumatoid patients and the mechanism study powered by network pharmacology. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 118:154949. [PMID: 37418838 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a typical autoimmune disease affecting nearly 1% of the world's population. The dysfunctional hyperproliferation of synovial fibroblast (SF) in articular cartilage of RA patients is considered as the essential etiology. Traditional chemotherapeutic agents for RA treatment are imperfect for their high cost and unpredictable side-effects. L. ruthenicum anthocyanins (LRAC) is a natural product that of potential for therapeutic application against RA. METHODS LRAC was characterized by UPLC-MS/MS. Bioinformatics analyses based on network pharmacology were applied to predict the potential targets of LRAC, and to select DEGs (differentially expressed genes) caused by RA pathogenesis from GSE77298. Interactions between LRAC and the predicted targets were evaluated by molecular docking. Effects of LRAC on SFs from RA patients were examined by in vitro assays, which were analyzed by flow cytometry and western blotting (WB). RESULTS LRAC was able to inhibit the abnormal proliferation and aggressive invasion of SFs from RA patients. LRAC was mainly constituted by petunidin (82.7%), with small amount of delphinidin (12.9%) and malvidin (4.4%) in terms of anthocyanidin. Bioinformatics analyses showed that in 3738 RA-related DEGs, 58 of them were collectively targeted by delphinidin, malvidin and delphinidin. AR, CDK2, CHEK1, HIF1A, CXCR4, MMP2 and MMP9, the seven hub genes constructed a central network mediating the signal transduction. Molecular docking confirmed the high affinities between the LRAC ligands and the protein receptors encoded by the hub genes. The in vitro assays validated that LRAC repressed the growth of RASF by cell cycle arresting and cell invasion paralyzing (c-Myc/p21/CDK2), initiating cell apoptosis (HIF-1α/CXCR4/Bax/Bcl-2), and inducing pyroptosis via ROS-dependent pathway (NOX4/ROS/NLRP3/IL-1β/Caspase-1). CONCLUSION LRAC can selectively inhibit the proliferation of RASFs, without side-effecting immunosuppression that usually occurred for RA treatment using MTX (methotrexate). These findings demonstrate the potential application of LRAC as a phytomedicine for RA treatment, and provide a valid approach for exploring natural remedies against autoimmune diseases.

Formation of protein adducts with Hydroperoxy-PE electrophilic cleavage products during ferroptosis. Redox Biol 2023; 63:102758.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron dependent form of cell death, that is triggered by the discoordination of iron, lipids, and thiols. Its unique signature that distinguishes it from other forms of cell death is the formation and accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, particularly oxidized forms of polyunsaturated phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), which drives cell death. These readily undergo iron-catalyzed secondary free radical reactions leading to truncated products which retain the signature PE headgroup and which can readily react with nucleophilic moieties in proteins via their truncated electrophilic acyl chains. Using a redox lipidomics approach, we have identified oxidatively-truncated PE species (trPEox) in enzymatic and non-enzymatic model systems. Further, using a model peptide we demonstrate adduct formation with Cys as the preferred nucleophilic residue and PE(26:2) +2 oxygens, as one of the most reactive truncated PE-electrophiles produced. In cells stimulated to undergo ferroptosis we identified PE-truncated species with sn-2 truncations ranging from 5 to 9 carbons. Taking advantage of the free PE headgroup, we have developed a new technology using the lantibiotic duramycin, to enrich and identify the PE-lipoxidated proteins. Our results indicate that several dozens of proteins for each cell type, are PE-lipoxidated in HT-22, MLE, and H9c2 cells and M2 macrophages after they were induced to undergo ferroptosis. Pretreatment of cells with the strong nucleophile, 2-mercaptoethanol, prevented the formation of PE-lipoxidated proteins and blocked ferroptotic death. Finally, our docking simulations showed that the truncated PE species bound at least as good to several of the lantibiotic-identified proteins, as compared to the non-truncated parent molecule, stearoyl-arachidonoyl PE (SAPE), indicating that these oxidatively-truncated species favor/promote the formation of PEox-protein adducts. The identification of PEox-protein adducts during ferroptosis suggests that they are participants in the ferroptotic process preventable by 2-mercaptoethanol and may contribute to a point of no return in the ferroptotic death process.

Abstract
The goal of cancer immunotherapy is to clear tumor cells by activating antitumor immunity, especially by mobilizing tumor-reactive CD8+T cells. Pyroptosis, programmed lytic cell death mediated by gasdermin (GSDM), results in the release of cellular antigens, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and cytokines. Therefore, pyroptotic tumor cell-derived tumor antigens and DAMPs not only reverse immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment (TME) but also enhance tumor antigen presentation by dendritic cells, leading to robust antitumor immunity. Exploring nanoparticles and other approaches to spatiotemporally control tumor pyroptosis by regulating gasdermin expression and activation is promising for next-generation immunotherapy.

Abstract
Regulated secretion is conserved in all eukaryotes. In vertebrates granin family proteins function in all key steps of regulated secretion. Phase separation and amyloid-based storage of proteins and small molecules in secretory granules require ion homeostasis to maintain their steady states, and thus need ion conductances in granule membranes. But granular ion channels are still elusive. Here we show that granule exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells delivers to cell surface dominant anion channels, to which chromogranin B (CHGB) is critical. Biochemical fractionation shows that native CHGB distributes nearly equally in soluble and membrane-bound forms, and both reconstitute highly selective anion channels in membrane. Confocal imaging resolves granular membrane components including proton pumps and CHGB in puncta on the cell surface after stimulated exocytosis. High pressure freezing immuno-EM reveals a major fraction of CHGB at granule membranes in rat pancreatic β-cells. A cryo-EM structure of bCHGB dimer of a nominal 3.5 Å resolution delineates a central pore with end openings, physically sufficient for membrane-spanning and large single channel conductance. Together our data support that CHGB-containing (CHGB+) channels are characteristic of regulated secretion, and function in granule ion homeostasis near the plasma membrane or possibly in other intracellular processes.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain caused by somatosensory system injuries is notoriously difficult to treat. Previous research has shown that neuroinflammation and cell death have been implicated in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death associated with inflammatory processes, as it can enhance or sustain the inflammatory response by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines. This review presents the current knowledge on pyroptosis and its underlying mechanisms, including the canonical and noncanonical pathways. Moreover, we discuss recent findings on the role of pyroptosis in neuropathic pain and its potential as a therapeutic target. In conclusion, this review highlights the potential significance of pyroptosis as a promising target for developing innovative therapies to treat neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Pellino proteins are a family of evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin ligases involved in intracellular signaling in a wide range of cell types. They are essential for microbe detection and the initiation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Some viruses specifically target the Pellino proteins as part of their immune evasion strategies. Through studies of mouse models of viral infections in the central nervous system, heart, lungs, and skin, the Pellino proteins have been linked to both beneficial and detrimental immune responses. Only in recent years have some of the involved mechanisms been identified. The objective of this review is to highlight the many diverse aspects of viral immunity and pathogenesis that the Pellino proteins have been associated with, in order to promote further research into their functions. After a brief introduction to the cellular signaling mechanisms involving Pellino proteins, their physiological roles in the initiation of immune responses, pathogenesis through excess inflammation, immune regulation, and cell death are presented. Known viral immune evasion strategies are also described. Throughout, areas that require more in-depth investigation are identified. Future research into the functions of the Pellino protein family may reveal fundamental insights into how our immune system works. Such knowledge may be leveraged in the fight against viral infections and their sequala.

Abstract
Background Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) refers to the more severe damage that occurs in the previously ischemic myocardium after a short-term interruption of myocardial blood supply followed by restoration of blood flow within a certain period of time. MIRI has become a major challenge affecting the therapeutic efficacy of cardiovascular surgery. Methods A scientific literature search on MIRI-related papers published from 2000 to 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted. VOSviewer was used for bibliometric analysis to understand the scientific development and research hotspots in this field. Results A total of 5,595 papers from 81 countries/regions, 3,840 research institutions, and 26,202 authors were included. China published the most papers, but the United States had the most significant influence. Harvard University was the leading research institution, and influential authors included Lefer David J., Hausenloy Derek J., Yellon Derek M., and others. All keywords can be divided into four different directions: risk factors, poor prognosis, mechanisms and cardioprotection. Conclusion Research on MIRI is flourishing. It is necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation of the interaction between different mechanisms and multi-target therapy will be the focus and hotspot of MIRI research in the future.

Amentoflavone mitigates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by suppressing cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and inflammation through inhibition of the STING/NLRP3 signalling pathway. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 117:154922. [PMID: 37321078 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anticancer chemotherapeutic agent whose clinical application is substantially constrained by its cardiotoxicity. The pathophysiology of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity manifests as cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and inflammation. Amentoflavone (AMF) is a naturally occurring biflavone possessing anti-pyroptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the mechanism through which AMF alleviates DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remains undetermined. PURPOSE This study aimed at investigating the role of AMF in alleviating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS To assess the in vivo effect of AMF, DOX was intraperitoneally administered into a mouse model to induce cardiotoxicity. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, the activities of STING/NLRP3 were quantified using the NLRP3 agonist nigericin and the STING agonist amidobenzimidazole (ABZI). Primary cardiomyocytes isolated from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with saline (vehicle) or DOX with or without AMF and/or ABZI. The echocardiogram, haemodynamics, cardiac injury markers, heart/body weight ratio, and pathological alterations were monitored; the STING/NLRP3 pathway-associated proteins were detected by western blot and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis was analysed by immunofluorescence staining of cleaved N-terminal GSDMD and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, we evaluated the potential of AMF in compromising the anticancer effects of DOX in human breast cancer cell lines. RESULTS AMF substantially alleviated cardiac dysfunction and reduced heart/body weight ratio and myocardial damage in mice models of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. AMF effectively suppressed DOX-mediated upregulation of IL-1β, IL-18, TNF-α, and pyroptosis-related proteins, including NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, and cleaved N-terminal GSDMD. The levels of apoptosis-related proteins, namely Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and BCL-2 were not affected. In addition, AMF inhibited STING phosphorylation in DOX-affected hearts. Intriguingly, the administration of nigericin or ABZI dampened the cardioprotective effects of AMF. The in vitro anti-pyroptotic effect of AMF was demonstrated in attenuating the DOX-induced reduction in cardiomyocyte cell viability, upregulation of cleaved N-terminal GSDMD, and pyroptotic morphology alteration at the microstructural level. AMF exhibited a synergistic effect with DOX to reduce the viability of human breast cancer cells. CONCLUSION AMF alleviates DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by suppressing cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and inflammation via inhibition of the STING/NLRP3 signalling pathway, thereby validating its efficacy as a cardioprotective agent.

Abstract
Regulated cell death is an essential and heterogeneous process occurring in the life cycle of organisms, from embryonic development and aging to the regulation of homeostasis and organ maintenance. Under this term, we can distinguish many distinct pathways, including apoptosis and pyroptosis. Recently, there has been an increasing comprehension of the mechanisms governing these phenomena and their characteristic features. The coexistence of different types of cell death and the differences and similarities between them has been the subject of many studies. This review aims to present the latest literature in the field of pyroptosis and apoptosis and compare their molecular pathway's elements and significance in the physiology and pathophysiology of the organism.

Abstract
Two human proteins involved in the inflammatory cell death, namely Gasdermin D (GSDMD) and the Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like (MLKL) protein have been engineered to accommodate an efficient ligand of the tumoral cell marker CXCR4, and a set of additional peptide agents that allow their spontaneous self-assembling. Upon production in bacterial cells and further purification, both proteins organized as stable nanoparticles of 46 and 54 nm respectively, that show, in this form, a moderate but dose-dependent cytotoxicity in cell culture. In vivo, and when administered in mouse models of colorectal cancer through repeated doses, the nanoscale forms of tumor-targeted GSDMD and, at a lesser extent, of MLKL promoted CD8+ and CD20+ lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor and an important reduction of tumor size, in absence of systemic toxicity. The potential of these novel pharmacological agents as anticancer drugs is discussed in the context of synergistic approaches to more effective cancer treatments.

Abstract
Chronic alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH). Previous studies have shown that direct injury of hepatocytes is the key factor in its occurrence and development. However, our study shows that the role of Kupffer cells in ASH cannot be ignored. We isolated Kupffer cells from the livers of ASH mice and found that alcohol consumption induced Kupffer cell pyroptosis and increased the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Furthermore, we screened the related m6A enzyme methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) from liver Kupffer cells, and found that silencing METTL3 alleviated inflammatory cytokine eruption by Kupffer cell pyroptosis in ASH mice. In vitro, we silenced METTL3 with lentivirus in BMDMs and RAW264.7 cells and confirmed that METTL3 could reduce pyroptosis by influencing the splicing of pri-miR-34A. Together, our results revealed a critical role of KC pyroptosis in ASH and highlighted the mechanism by which METLL3 relieves cell pyroptosis, which could be a promising therapeutic strategy for ASH.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis that occurs following lung injury is a progressive and fatal disease since continual damage to lung tissue triggers the dysregulated inflammation response and accompanying abnormal healing process. Pyroptosis of alveolar macrophages has been found to play an essential role in the deterioration of lung injury and fibrosis. However, the lack of inhibitors against this inflammatory cell death in macrophages and the dense stroma pose major barriers to lung injury and fibrosis treatment. Herein, we developed an albumin-based nanoformulation to realize active delivery of formononetin (FMN) to improve the treatment of lung injury and fibrosis. The obtained nanoparticle, FMN@BSA NPs, could efficiently accumulate at the impaired lesion benefiting from the leaky vasculatures and the affinity between albumin and the overexpressed SPARC protein. Through blocking the NLRP3 inflammasome-involved pyroptosis process of macrophages, FMN@BSA NPs remarkably improved lung function and prolonged animal survival in the bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung injury and fibrosis model without noticeable side effects. Meanwhile, we proved FMN as a pyroptosis inhibitor and the corresponding lipid metabolism-related mechanisms through multi-omics analysis. This study first employed an albumin-based nanoparticle to deliver the pyroptosis inhibitor to the impaired lung tissue actively, providing a promising strategy for lung injury and fibrosis treatment.

Abstract
Since the identification and characterization of gasdermin (GSDM) D as the main effector of inflammatory regulated cell death (or pyroptosis), literature on the GSDM family of pore-forming proteins is rapidly expanding, revealing novel mechanisms regulating their expression and functions that go beyond pyroptosis. Indeed, a growing body of evidence corroborates the importance of GSDMs within the gastrointestinal system, underscoring their critical contributions to the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal cancers, enteric infections and gut mucosal inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel disease. However, with this increase in knowledge, several important and controversial issues have arisen regarding basic GSDM biology and its role(s) during health and disease states. These include critical questions centred around GSDM-dependent lytic versus non-lytic functions, the biological activities of cleaved versus full-length proteins, the differential roles of GSDM-expressing mucosal immune versus epithelial cells, and whether GSDMs promote pathogenic or protective effects during specific disease settings. This Review provides a comprehensive summary and interpretation of the current literature on GSDM biology, specifically focusing on the gastrointestinal tract, highlighting the main controversial issues and their clinical implications, and addressing future areas of research to unravel the specific role(s) of this intriguing, yet enigmatic, family of proteins.

Abstract
Regulated pyroptosis is critical for pathogen elimination by inducing infected cell rupture and pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion, while overwhelmed pyroptosis contributes to organ dysfunction and pathological inflammatory response. Caffeic acid (CA) and ferulic acid (FA) are both well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phenolic acids, which resemble in chemical structure. Here we found that CA, but not FA, protects macrophages from both Nigericin-induced canonical and cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced non-canonical pyroptosis and alleviates LPS-induced mice sepsis. It significantly improved the survival of pyroptotic cells and LPS-challenged mice and blocked proinflammatory cytokine secretion. The anti-pyroptotic effect of CA is independent of its regulations in cellular lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial function, or pyroptosis-associated gene transcription. Instead, CA arrests pyroptosis by directly associating with gasdermin D (GSDMD) and blocking its processing, resulting in reduced N-GSDMD pore construction and less cellular content release. In LPS-induced septic mice, CA inhibits GSDMD activation in peritoneal macrophages and reduces the serum levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α as the known pyroptosis inhibitors, disulfiram and dimethyl fumarate. Collectively, these findings suggest that CA inhibits pyroptosis by targeting GSDMD and is a potential candidate for curbing the pyroptosis-associated disease.

Bang J, Son KH, Heo HR, Park E, Kwak HJ, Uhm KO, Chung MH, Kim YY, Lim HJ. Exogenous 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine Attenuates PM 2.5-Induced Inflammation in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Decreasing NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1189. [PMID: 37371919 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12061189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) induces lung injury by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. ROS aggravates NLRP3 inflammasome activation, which activates caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 and induces pyroptosis; these factors propagate inflammation. In contrast, treatment with exogenous 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) decreases RAC1 activity and eventually decreases dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) and ROS generation. To establish modalities that would mitigate PM2.5-induced lung injury, we evaluated whether 8-OHdG decreased PM2.5-induced ROS generation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in BEAS-2B cells. CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase assays were used to determine the treatment concentration. Fluorescence intensity, Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and immunoblotting assays were also performed. Treatment with 80 μg/mL PM2.5 increased ROS generation, RAC1 activity, NOX1 expression, NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1) activity, and IL-1β and IL-18 levels in cells; treatment with 10 μg/mL 8-OHdG significantly attenuated these effects. Furthermore, similar results, such as reduced expression of NOX1, NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1, were observed in PM2.5-treated BEAS-2B cells when treated with an RAC1 inhibitor. These results show that 8-OHdG mitigates ROS generation and NLRP3 inflammation by inhibiting RAC1 activity and NOX1 expression in respiratory cells exposed to PM2.5.

The Pyroptotic and Nonpyroptotic Roles of Gasdermins in Modulating Cancer Progression and Their Perspectives on Cancer Therapeutics. Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz) 2023; 71:14. [PMID: 37258998 DOI: 10.1007/s00005-023-00678-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDMs) are a protein family encoded by six paralogous genes in humans, including GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, GSDME (also known as DFNA5), and DFNB59 (also known as pejvakin). Structurally, members of the GSDM family possess a C-terminus (an autoinhibitory domain) and a positively charged N-terminus (a pore-forming domain) linked with divergent peptide linkers. Recently, GSDMs have been identified as key executors of pyroptosis (an immunogenic programmed cell death) due to their pore-forming activities on the plasma membrane when proteolytically cleaved by caspases or serine proteases. Accumulating studies suggest that chemoresistance is attributed to dysregulation of apoptotic machinery and that inducing pyroptosis to bypass aberrant apoptosis can potently resensitize apoptosis-resistant cancer to chemotherapeutics. Pyroptosis is initiated by pore formation and culminates with plasma membrane rupture; these processes enable the release of proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β and IL-18) and damage-associated molecular patterns, which further modulate antitumor immunity within the tumor microenvironment. Although pyroptosis is considered a promising strategy to boost antitumor effects, it is also reported to cause unwanted tissue damage (e.g., gut damage and nephrotoxicity). Intriguingly, mounting evidence has uncovered nonpyroptotic roles of GSDMs in tumorigenesis, such as proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. Thus, this provides a rationale for GSDMs as potential therapeutic targets. Taken together, we shed unbiased light on the pyroptosis-dependent roles of GSDMs in cancer progression and highlighted how GSDMs modulate tumorigenesis in a pyroptosis-independent manner. It is evident that targeting GSDMs seems profound in cancer management; however, several problems require further investigation to target GSDMs from bench to bedside, which is elucidated in the discussion section.

Screening for autophagy/hypoxia/ferroptosis/pyroptosis-related genes of tendon injury and repair in a rat model after celecoxib and lactoferrin treatment. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:383. [PMID: 37231424 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03856-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal disorders. Celecoxib possesses an effective anti-inflammatory activity in the tendon injury treatment. Lactoferrin has a great potential for the tendon regeneration. However, the efficacy of celecoxib combined with lactoferrin in the treatment of tendon injury has not been reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of celecoxib and lactoferrin on tendon injury and repair, and screen for the crucial genes associated with the tendon injury and repair. METHODS The rat tendon injury models were established and divided into four groups: normal control group (n = 10), tendon injury model group (n = 10), celecoxib treatment group (n = 10), and celecoxib + lactoferrin treatment group (n = 10). Then, RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) in celecoxib treatment group and celecoxib + lactoferrin treatment group. Next, autophagy/hypoxia/ferroptosis/pyroptosis-related DEmRNAs were further identified. Subsequently, functional enrichment, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and transcriptional regulatory network construction for these genes were performed. RESULTS The animal study demonstrated that combinational administration of celecoxib with lactoferrin rescued the harmful effects caused by celecoxib in the treatment of tendon injury. Compared to tendon injury model group, 945 DEmRNAs, 7 DEmiRNAs and 34 DElncRNAs were obtained in celecoxib treatment group, and 493 DEmRNAs, 8 DEmiRNAs and 21 DElncRNAs were obtained in celecoxib + lactoferrin treatment group, respectively. Subsequently, 376 celecoxib + lactoferrin treatment group-specific DEmRNAs were determined. Then, 25 DEmRNAs associated with autophagy/hypoxia/ferroptosis/pyroptosis were identified. CONCLUSIONS Several genes, such as, Ppp1r15a, Ddit4, Fos, Casp3, Tgfb3, Hspb1 and Hspa8, were identified to be associated with tendon injury and repair.

Salidroside pretreatment alleviates PM 2.5 caused lung injury via inhibition of apoptosis and pyroptosis through regulating NLRP3 Inflammasome. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 177:113858.

Abstract
Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is considered a leading cause of pathogenic particulate matter induced lung injury. And Salidroside (Sal), the major bioactive constituent isolated from Rhodiola rosea L., has been shown to ameliorate lung injury in various conditions. To uncover the possible therapy for PM2.5 related pulmonary disease, we evaluated the protective role of Sal pre-treatment on PM2.5 induced lung injury in mice by utilizing the survival analysis, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, lung injury score, lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, immunoblot, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Impressively, our findings strongly indicated Sal as an effective precaution against PM2.5 induced lung injury. Pre-administration of Sal before PM2.5 treatment reduced the mortality within 120 h and alleviated inflammatory responses by reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18. Meanwhile, Sal pretreatment blocked apoptosis and pyroptosis that introduced the tissue damage under PM2.5 treatment via regulating Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 and NF-κB/NLRP3/caspase-1 signal pathways. In summary, our research demonstrated that Sal could be a potential preventative therapy for PM2.5 caused lung injury by inhibiting the initiation and development of apoptosis and pyroptosis through down-regulating NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Cisatracurium besylate rescues Mycobacterium Tuberculosis-infected macrophages from necroptosis and enhances the bactericidal effect of isoniazid. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 120:110291.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tuberculosis is the leading killer among the chronic single-source infectious diseases. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can induce necrotic-dominant multiple modes of cell death in macrophages, which accelerates bacterium dissemination and expands tissue injury in host lungs. Mining drugs to counteract Mycobacterium tuberculosis-induced cell death would be beneficial to tuberculosis patients. METHODS In this study, the protective drug was screened out from the FDA-approved drug library in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages with CCK-8 assay. The death mode regulated by the drug was identified using transcriptomic sequencing, cytomorphological observation, and in the experimental mouse Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infection model. The functional mechanism was explored using western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, and DARTS assay. The intracellular bacterial survival was detected using colony forming unit assays. RESULTS Cisatracurium besylate was identified to be highly protective for the viability of macrophages during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection via inhibiting necroptosis. Cisatracurium besylate prevented RIPK3 to be associated with the executive molecule MLKL for forming the necroptotic complex, resulting in the inhibition of MLKL phosphorylation and pore formation on cell membrane. However, Cisatracurium besylate did not interfere with the association between RIPK3 with its upstream kinase RIPK1 or ZBP1 but regulated RIPK3 autophosphorylation. Moreover, Cisatracurium besylate significantly inhibited the expansion of intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis both in vitro and in vivo, which also displayed a strong auxiliary bacteriostatic effect to support the therapeutic efficacy of isoniazid and rifampicin, the first-line anti-tubercular drugs. CONCLUSION Cisatracurium besylate performs anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and anti-necroptotic roles, which potentiates its application to be an adjuvant drug for antituberculosis therapy to assist the battle against drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Abstract
α,α'-Trehalose 6,6'-glycolipids have long been known for their immunostimulatory properties. The adjuvanticity of α,α'-trehalose 6,6'-glycolipids is mediated by signalling through the macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) and the induction of an inflammatory response. Herein, we present an aryl-functionalised trehalose glycolipid, AF-2, that leads to the release of cytokines and chemokines, including IL-6, MIP-2 and TNF-α, in a Mincle-dependent manner. Furthermore, plate-coated AF-2 also leads to the Mincle-independent production of IL-1β, which is unprecedented for this class of glycolipid. Upon investigation into the mode of action of plate-coated AF-2, it was observed that the treatment of WT and Mincle-/- bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM), murine RAW264.7 cells, and human monocytes with AF-2 led to lytic cell death, as evidenced using Sytox Green and lactate dehydrogenase assays, and confocal and scanning electron microscopy. The requirement for functional Gasdermin D and Caspase-1 for IL-1β production and cell death by AF-2 confirmed pyroptosis as the mode of action of AF-2. The inhibition of NLRP3 and K+ efflux reduced AF-2 mediated IL-1β production and cell death, and allowed us to conclude that AF-2 leads to Capase-1 dependent NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated cell death. The unique mode of action of plate-coated AF-2 was surprising and highlights how the physical presentation of Mincle ligands can lead to dramatically different immunological outcomes.

Abstract
Pericytes play critical roles in the maintenance of brain vascular homeostasis. However, very little is currently known about how pericytes regulate ischemic stroke-induced brain injury. Inflammation is a key event in the pathobiology of stroke, in which the nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is involved in, triggering sterile inflammatory responses and pyroptosis. In the current study, an immortalized cell line derived from human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) was constructed, and it showed that HBVPs challenged with oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) displays pronounced cellular excretion of LDH, IL-1β, IL-18 and increased PI positive staining. Mechanistically, upon OGD treatment, NLRP3 forms an inflammasome with its adaptor protein apoptosis-associated speck-like protein, containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) and caspase-1, manifested as much more co-stainings of NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1 in HBVPs, accompanied by the increased protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 as well as the pyroptosis-associated protein gasdermin D (GSDMD). Intriguingly, GSDMD-N shuttled to the mitochondrial membrane triggered by OGD exposure, which promoted massive mitochondria-derived ROS generation. Importantly, the invention value of the specific targets was evaluated by treatment with bellidifolin, a kind of ketone compound derived from Swertia chirayita in traditional Tibetan medicine. It showed that bellidifolin exerts beneficial effects and attenuates the formation of NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 complex, thereby impeding GSDMD-N shuttling and resultant ROS generation, protecting against OGD-induced HBVPs pyroptosis. Overall, these findings unravel the potential mechanisms of pericyte injury induced by OGD and indicate that bellidifolin may exert its beneficial effects on pyroptosis, thus providing new therapeutic insights into stroke.

[PMID: 37305457 PMCID: PMC10256830 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
As the dominant histological subtype of kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) poorly responds to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although novel immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors could have a durable effect in treating ccRCC patients, the limited availability of dependable biomarkers has restricted their application in clinic. In the study of carcinogenesis and cancer therapies, there has been a recent emphasis on researching programmed cell death (PCD). In the current study, we discovered the enriched and prognostic PCD in ccRCC utilizing gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and investigate the functional status of ccRCC patients with different PCD risks. Then, genes related to PCD that had prognostic value in ccRCC were identified for the conduction of non-negative matrix factorization to cluster ccRCC patients. Next, the tumor microenvironment, immunogenicity, and therapeutic response in different molecular clusters were analyzed. Among PCD, apoptosis and pyroptosis were enriched in ccRCC and correlated with prognosis. Patients with high PCD levels were related to poor prognosis and a rich but suppressive immune microenvironment. PCD-based molecular clusters were identified to differentiate the clinical status and prognosis of ccRCC. Moreover, the molecular cluster with high PCD levels may correlate with high immunogenicity and a favorable therapeutic response to ccRCC. Furthermore, a simplified PCD-based gene classifier was established to facilitate clinical application and used transcriptome sequencing data from clinical ccRCC samples to validate the applicability of the gene classifier. We thoroughly extended the understanding of PCD in ccRCC and constructed a PCD-based gene classifier for differentiation of the prognosis and therapeutic efficacy in ccRCC.

Abstract
Programmed cell death (PCD, mainly including apoptosis, necrosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy) and immunogenic cell death (ICD), as important cell death mechanisms, are widely reported in cancer therapy, and understanding the relationship between the two is significant for clinical tumor treatments. Considering that vast nanodrugs are developed to induce tumor PCD and ICD simultaneously, in this review, the interrelationship between PCD and ICD is described using nanomedicines as examples. First, an overview of PCD patterns and focus on the morphological differences and interconnections among them are provided. Then the interrelationship between apoptosis and ICD in terms of endoplasmic reticulum stress is described by introducing various cancer treatments and the recent developments of nanomedicines with inducible immunogenicity. Next, the crosstalk between non-apoptotic (including necrosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy) signaling pathways and ICD is introduced and their relationship through various nanomedicines as examples is further illustrated. Finally, the relationship between PCD and ICD and its application prospects in the development of new ICD nanomaterials are summarized. This review is believed to deepen the understanding of the relationship between PCD and ICD, extend the biomedical applications of various nanodrugs, and promote the progress of clinical tumor therapy.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a newly discovered inflammatory form of programmed cell death, which promotes systemic immune response in cancer immunotherapy. GSDMD is one of the key molecules executing pyroptosis, while therapeutical delivery of GSDMD to tumor cells is of great challenge. In this study, an extracellular vesicles-based GSDMD-N mRNA delivery system (namely EVTx ) is developed for enhanced cancer immunotherapy, with GSDMD-N mRNA encapsulated inside, Ce6 (Chlorin e6 (Ce6), a hydrophilic sensitizer) incorporated into extracellular vesicular membrane, and HER2 antibody displayed onto the surface. Briefly, GSDMD-N mRNA is translationally repressed in donor cells by optimized puromycin, ensuring the cell viability and facilitating the mRNA encapsulation into extracellular vesicles. When targeted and delivered into HER2+ breast cancer cells by the engineered extracellular vesicles, the translational repression is unleashed in the recipient cells as the puromycin is diluted and additionally inactivated by sonodynamic treatment as the extracellular vesicles are armed with Ce6, allowing GSDMD-N translation and pyroptosis induction. In addition, sonodynamic treatment also induces cell death in the recipient cells. In the SKBR3- and HER2 transfected 4T1- inoculated breast tumor mouse models, the engineered EVTx efficiently induces a powerful tumor immune response and suppressed tumor growth, providing a nanoplatform for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Granzyme A from killer lymphocytes cleaves gasdermin B (GSDMB) and triggers pyroptosis in targeted human tumor cells, eliciting antitumor immunity. However, GSDMB has a controversial role in pyroptosis and has been linked to both anti- and protumor functions. Here, we found that GSDMB splicing variants are functionally distinct. Cleaved N-terminal (NT) fragments of GSDMB isoforms 3 and 4 caused pyroptosis, but isoforms 1, 2, and 5 did not. The nonfunctional isoforms have a deleted or modified exon 6 and therefore lack a stable belt motif. The belt likely contributes to the insertion of oligomeric GSDMB-NTs into the membrane. Consistently, noncytotoxic GSDMB-NTs blocked pyroptosis caused by cytotoxic GSDMB-NTs in a dominant-negative manner. Upon natural killer (NK) cell attack, GSDMB3-expressing cells died by pyroptosis, whereas GSDMB4-expressing cells died by mixed pyroptosis and apoptosis, and GSDMB1/2-expressing cells died only by apoptosis. GSDMB4 partially resisted NK cell-triggered cleavage, suggesting that only GSDMB3 is fully functional. GSDMB1-3 were the most abundant isoforms in the tested tumor cell lines and were similarly induced by interferon-γ and the chemotherapy drug methotrexate. Expression of cytotoxic GSDMB3/4 isoforms, but not GSDMB1/2 isoforms that are frequently up-regulated in tumors, was associated with better outcomes in bladder and cervical cancers, suggesting that GSDMB3/4-mediated pyroptosis was protective in those tumors. Our study indicates that tumors may block and evade killer cell-triggered pyroptosis by generating noncytotoxic GSDMB isoforms. Therefore, therapeutics that favor the production of cytotoxic GSDMB isoforms by alternative splicing may improve antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is closely associated with cancer development; however, the role of pyroptosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a fatal malignant tumour with a poor overall survival rate, remains elusive. Here, we explored the mechanism of chemotherapy-induced pyroptosis and elucidated the role of pyroptosis in mediating PDAC progression and chemoresistance. The results demonstrated first- and second-line chemotherapeutic drugs against PDAC, including gemcitabine, irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel, and cisplatin, induced concurrent pyroptosis and apoptosis. During this process, gasdermin E (GSDME) was cleaved by activated caspase-3, which was accompanied by pro-apoptotic caspase-7/8 activation. GSDME knockdown switched pyroptosis to apoptosis, decreased invasion and migration, and enhanced the sensitivity of PDAC cells to chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo. GSDME was highly expressed in PDAC tissues and positively correlated with histological differentiation and vascular invasion. Furthermore, cells that survived pyroptosis promoted proliferation and invasion and impaired the chemosensitivity of PDAC cells, which was attenuated by the GSDME knockdown. Our findings demonstrated that chemotherapeutics against PDAC induce GSDME-dependent pyroptosis, and GSDME expression positively correlated with PDAC progression and chemoresistance. Targeting GSDME may be a novel approach to overcoming chemoresistance in PDAC.

Abstract
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. However, our insufficient understanding of the pathogenesis of glaucoma has limited the development of effective treatments. Because recent research has highlighted the importance of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in various diseases, we investigated their roles in glaucoma. Specifically, we detected expression changes of ncRNAs in cell and animal models of acute glaucoma. Further analysis revealed that the Ier2/miR-1839/TSPO axis was critical to cell loss and retinal damage. The knockdown of Ier2, the overexpression of miR-1839, and the silencing of TSPO effectively prevented retinal damage and cell loss. Furthermore, we found that the Ier2/miR-1839/TSPO axis regulated the pyroptosis and apoptosis of retinal neurons through the NLRP3/caspase1/GSDMD, cleaved-caspase3 pathways. In addition to high expression in the retina, TSPO expression was found to be significantly higher in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (DLG) of the brain in the pathologically high intraocular pressure (ph-IOP) rat model, as well as in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of glaucoma patients with high IOP. These results indicate that TSPO, which is regulated by Ier2/miR-1839, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, and this study provides a theoretical basis and a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.

Abstract
Necroptosis facilitates cell death in a controlled manner and is employed by many cell types following injury. It plays a significant role in various liver diseases, albeit the cell-type-specific regulation of necroptosis in the liver and especially hepatocytes, has not yet been conceptualized. We demonstrate that DNA methylation suppresses RIPK3 expression in human hepatocytes and HepG2 cells. In diseases leading to cholestasis, the RIPK3 expression is induced in mice and humans in a cell-type-specific manner. Overexpression of RIPK3 in HepG2 cells leads to RIPK3 activation by phosphorylation and cell death, further modulated by different bile acids. Additionally, bile acids and RIPK3 activation further facilitate JNK phosphorylation, IL-8 expression, and its release. This suggests that hepatocytes suppress RIPK3 expression to protect themselves from necroptosis and cytokine release induced by bile acid and RIPK3. In chronic liver diseases associated with cholestasis, induction of RIPK3 expression may be an early event signaling danger and repair through releasing IL-8.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is one of the mechanisms of programmed cell death (PCD) activated by inflammasomes and involved by the caspase family and the gasdermin family. During the oncogenesis and progression of tumors, pyroptosis is crucial, and complex withal. Currently, pyroptosis is the focus topic in the research field of oncology, but there is no single bibliometric analysis systematically studying 'pyroptosis and cancer'. Our study aimed to visualize the research status of pyroptosis in oncology and excavate the hotspots and prospects in this field. Furthermore, in consideration of the professional direction of researchers, we particularly emphasized articles on pyroptosis in gynecology and formed a mini systematic review. This bibliometric work integrated and analyzed all articles from ISI Web of Science: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) (dated April 25th, 2022), based on quantitative and visual mapping approaches. Systematically reviewing articles on pyroptosis in gynecology helped us complement our analysis of research advancements in this field. Including 634 articles, our study found that the number of articles on pyroptosis in cancer increased exponentially in recent years. These publications came from 45 countries and regions headed by China and the US mainly aiming at the mechanism of pyroptosis in cell biology and biochemistry molecular biology, as well as the role of pyroptosis in the development and therapeutic application of various cancers. The top 20 most cited studies on this topic mostly came from the US, followed by China and England, and half of the articles cited more than 100 times in total were published in Nature. Moreover, as for gynecologic cancer, in vitro and bioinformatics analysis were the main methodology conducting to explore roles of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) and formation of inflammasomes in cancer progression and prognosis. Pyroptosis has evolved into a burgeoning research field in oncology. The cellular and molecular pathway mechanism of pyroptosis, as well as the effect of pyroptosis in oncogenesis, progression, and treatment have been the hot topic of the current study and provided us the future direction as the potential opportunities and challenges. We advocate more active cooperation to improve therapeutic strategies for cancer.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death, which induces a strong pro-inflammatory reaction. However, the mechanism of pyroptosis after brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and the interaction between different neural cell types are still unclear. This study comprehensively explored the mechanisms and interactions of microglial and neuronal pyroptosisin the simulated I/R environment in vitro. The BV2 (as microglial) and HT22(as neuronal) cells were treated by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Both BV2 and HT22 cells underwent pyroptosis after OGD/R, and the pyroptosis occurred at earlier time point in HT22than that of BV2. Caspase-11 and Gasdermin E expression in BV2 and HT22 cells did not change significantly after OGD/R. Inhibition of caspase-1 or GSDMD activity, or down-regulation of GSDMD expression, alleviated pyroptosis in both BV2 and HT22 cells after OGD/R. Transwell studies further showed that OGD/R-treated HT22 or BV2 cells aggravated pyroptosis of adjacent non-OGD/R-treated cells, which could be relieved by inhibition of caspase-1 or GSDMD. These results suggested that OGD/R induces pyroptosis of microglia and neuronal cells and aggravates cell injury via activation of caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway. Our findings indicated that caspase-1 and GSDMD may be therapeutic targets after cerebral I/R.

Abstract
Cell death is a basic physiological process that occurs in all living organisms. A few key players in these mechanisms, as well as various forms of cell death programming, have been identified. Apoptotic cell phagocytosis, also known as apoptotic cell clearance, is a well-established process regulated by a number of molecular components, including 'find-me', 'eat-me' and engulfment signals. Efferocytosis, or the rapid phagocytic clearance of cell death, is a critical mechanism for tissue homeostasis. Despite having similar mechanism to phagocytic clearance of infections, efferocytosis differs from phagocytosis in that it induces a tissue-healing response and is immunologically inert. However, as field of cell death has rapid expanded, much attention has recently been drawn to the efferocytosis of additional necrotic-like cell types, such as necroptosis and pyroptosis. Unlike apoptosis, this method of cell suicide allows the release of immunogenic cellular material and causes inflammation. Regardless of the cause of cell death, the clearance of dead cells is a necessary function to avoid uncontrolled synthesis of pro-inflammatory molecules and inflammatory disorder. We compare and contrast apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, as well as the various molecular mechanisms of efferocytosis in each type of cell death, and investigate how these may have functional effects on different intracellular organelles and signalling networks. Understanding how efferocytic cells react to necroptotic and pyroptotic cell uptake can help us understand how to modulate these cell death processes for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Several fatty acids, in particular saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid, cause lipotoxicity in the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease . Unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. oleic acid) protect against lipotoxicity in hepatocytes. However, the effect of oleic acid on other liver cell types, in particular liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), is unknown. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are often used as a substitute for LSECs, however, because of the unique phenotype of LSECs, HUVECs cannot represent the same biological features as LSECs. In this study, we investigate the effects of oleate and palmitate (the sodium salts of oleic acid and palmitic acid) on primary rat LSECs in comparison to their effects on HUVECs. Oleate induces necrotic cell death in LSECs, but not in HUVECs. Necrotic cell death of LSECs can be prevented by supplementation of 2-stearoylglycerol, which promotes cellular triglyceride (TG) synthesis. Repressing TG synthesis, by knocking down DGAT1 renders HUVECs sensitive to oleate-induced necrotic death. Mechanistically, oleate causes a sharp drop of intracellular ATP level and impairs mitochondrial respiration in LSECs. The combination of oleate and palmitate reverses the toxic effect of oleate in both LSECs and HUVECs. These results indicate that oleate is toxic and its toxicity can be attenuated by stimulating TG synthesis. The toxicity of oleate is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and necrotic cell death. Moreover, HUVECs are not suitable as a substitute model for LSECs.

Abstract
Irisin is a hormone‑like myokine that regulates cell signaling pathways and exerts anti‑inflammatory effects. However, the specific molecular mechanisms involved in this process are currently unknown. The present study explored the role and mechanisms underlying the functions of irisin in alleviating acute lung injury (ALI). The present study used MH‑S, an established murine alveolar macrophage‑derived cell line, and a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced‑ALI to examine the efficacy of irisin against ALI in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Fibronectin type III repeat‑containing protein/irisin was expressed in the inflamed lung tissue, but not in normal lung tissue. Exogenous irisin reduced alveolar inflammatory cell infiltration and pro‑inflammatory factor secretion in mice following LPS stimulation. It also inhibited the polarization of M1‑type macrophages and promoted the repolarization of M2‑type macrophages, thus reducing the LPS‑induced production and secretion of interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑18 and tumor necrosis factor‑α. In addition, irisin reduced the release of the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), inhibited the formation of nucleotide‑binding and oligomerization domain‑like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome complexes, and decreased the expression of caspase‑1 and the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD), leading to reduced pyroptosis and the accompanying inflammation. On the whole, the findings of the present study demonstrate that irisin attenuates ALI by inhibiting the HSP90/NLRP3/caspase‑1/GSDMD signaling pathway, reversing macrophage polarization and reducing the pyroptosis of macrophages. These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the role of irisin in the treatment of ALI and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDMs) are pore-forming proteins that play critical roles in host defence through pyroptosis1,2. Among GSDMs, GSDMB is unique owing to its distinct lipid-binding profile and a lack of consensus on its pyroptotic potential3-7. Recently, GSDMB was shown to exhibit direct bactericidal activity through its pore-forming activity4. Shigella, an intracellular, human-adapted enteropathogen, evades this GSDMB-mediated host defence by secreting IpaH7.8, a virulence effector that triggers ubiquitination-dependent proteasomal degradation of GSDMB4. Here, we report the cryogenic electron microscopy structures of human GSDMB in complex with Shigella IpaH7.8 and the GSDMB pore. The structure of the GSDMB-IpaH7.8 complex identifies a motif of three negatively charged residues in GSDMB as the structural determinant recognized by IpaH7.8. Human, but not mouse, GSDMD contains this conserved motif, explaining the species specificity of IpaH7.8. The GSDMB pore structure shows the alternative splicing-regulated interdomain linker in GSDMB as a regulator of GSDMB pore formation. GSDMB isoforms with a canonical interdomain linker exhibit normal pyroptotic activity whereas other isoforms exhibit attenuated or no pyroptotic activity. Overall, this work sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of Shigella IpaH7.8 recognition and targeting of GSDMs and shows a structural determinant in GSDMB critical for its pyroptotic activity.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the potential role of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in abnormal bile acid metabolism and pyroptosis during the pathogenesis of triptolide (TP)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hepatotoxicity. Moreover, the protective effect of obeticholic acid (OCA) was explored under this condition. In vivo, female C57BL/6 mice were administrated with OCA (40 mg/kg bw, intragastrical injection) before (500 μg/kg bw, intragastrical injection)/LPS (0.1 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneal injection) administration. In vitro, AML12 cells were treated with TP (50 nM) and TNF-α (50 ng/ml) to induce hepatotoxicity; GW4064 (5 μM) and cholestyramine (CHO) (0.1 mg/ml and 0.05 mg/ml) were introduced to explain the role of FXR/total bile acid (TBA) in it. Serum TBA level was significantly elevated, which was induced by FXR suppression. And both GW4064 and CHO intervention presented remarkable protective effects against TP/TNF-α-induced NLRP3 upregulation and pyroptosis pathway activation. Pre-administration of FXR agonist OCA successfully attenuated TP/LPS-induced severe liver injury by reducing serum bile acids accumulation and inhibiting the activation of caspase-11-GSDMD (gasdermin D) pyroptosis pathway. We have drawn conclusions that TP aggravated liver hypersensitivity to LPS and inhibited FXR-SHP (small heterodimer partner) axis, which was served as endogenous signals to activate caspase-11-GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis contributing to liver injury. OCA alleviated TP/LPS-induced liver injury accompanied by inhibiting caspase-11-GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis pathway and decreased serum TBA level. The results indicated that FXR might be an attractive therapeutic target for TP/LPS-induced hepatotoxicity, providing an effective strategy for drug-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses are crucial for controlling infections and initiating tissue repair. However, excessive and uncontrolled inflammation causes inflammatory disease. Processing and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 depend on caspase-1 activation within inflammasomes. Assembly of inflammasomes is initiated upon activation of cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), followed by sequential polymerization of pyrin domain (PYD)-containing and caspase recruitment domain (CARD)-containing proteins mediated by homotypic PYD and CARD interactions. Small PYD- or CARD-only proteins (POPs and COPs, respectively) evolved in higher primates to target these crucial interactions to limit inflammation. Here, we show the ability of COPs to regulate inflammasome activation by modulating homotypic CARD-CARD interactions in vitro and in vivo. CARD16, CARD17, and CARD18 displace crucial CARD interactions between caspase-1 proteins through competitive binding and ameliorate uric acid crystal-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and inflammatory disease. COPs therefore represent an important family of inflammasome regulators and ameliorate inflammatory disease.

Abstract
NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are pattern recognition receptors for diverse innate immune responses. Self-oligomerization after engagement with a ligand is a generally accepted model for the activation of each NLR. We report here that a catalyzer was required for NLR self-oligomerization. PELO, a well-known surveillance factor in translational quality control and/or ribosome rescue, interacted with all cytosolic NLRs and activated their ATPase activity. In the case of flagellin-initiated NLRC4 inflammasome activation, flagellin-bound NAIP5 recruited the first NLRC4 and then PELO was required for correctly assembling the rest of NLRC4s into the NLRC4 complex, one by one, by activating the NLRC4 ATPase activity. Stoichiometric and functional data revealed that PELO was not a structural constituent of the NLRC4 inflammasome but a powerful catalyzer for its assembly. The catalytic role of PELO in the activation of cytosolic NLRs provides insight into NLR activation and provides a direction for future studies of NLR family members.

Distinct GSDMB protein isoforms and protease cleavage processes differentially control pyroptotic cell death and mitochondrial damage in cancer cells. Cell Death Differ 2023; 30:1366-1381. [PMID: 36899106 PMCID: PMC10154425 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-023-01143-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Gasdermin (GSDM)-mediated pyroptosis is functionally involved in multiple diseases, but Gasdermin-B (GSDMB) exhibit cell death-dependent and independent activities in several pathologies including cancer. When the GSDMB pore-forming N-terminal domain is released by Granzyme-A cleavage, it provokes cancer cell death, but uncleaved GSDMB promotes multiple pro-tumoral effects (invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance). To uncover the mechanisms of GSDMB pyroptosis, here we determined the GSDMB regions essential for cell death and described for the first time a differential role of the four translated GSDMB isoforms (GSDMB1-4, that differ in the alternative usage of exons 6-7) in this process. Accordingly, we here prove that exon 6 translation is essential for GSDMB mediated pyroptosis, and therefore, GSDMB isoforms lacking this exon (GSDMB1-2) cannot provoke cancer cell death. Consistently, in breast carcinomas the expression of GSDMB2, and not exon 6-containing variants (GSDMB3-4), associates with unfavourable clinical-pathological parameters. Mechanistically, we show that GSDMB N-terminal constructs containing exon-6 provoke cell membrane lysis and a concomitant mitochondrial damage. Moreover, we have identified specific residues within exon 6 and other regions of the N-terminal domain that are important for GSDMB-triggered cell death as well as for mitochondrial impairment. Additionally, we demonstrated that GSDMB cleavage by specific proteases (Granzyme-A, Neutrophil Elastase and caspases) have different effects on pyroptosis regulation. Thus, immunocyte-derived Granzyme-A can cleave all GSDMB isoforms, but in only those containing exon 6, this processing results in pyroptosis induction. By contrast, the cleavage of GSDMB isoforms by Neutrophil Elastase or caspases produces short N-terminal fragments with no cytotoxic activity, thus suggesting that these proteases act as inhibitory mechanisms of pyroptosis. Summarizing, our results have important implications for understanding the complex roles of GSDMB isoforms in cancer or other pathologies and for the future design of GSDMB-targeted therapies.
