Lin Z, Chen Q, Ruan HB. To die or not to die: Gasdermins in intestinal health and disease. Semin Immunol 2024; 71:101865.

Abstract
Intestinal homeostasis is achieved by the balance among intestinal epithelium, immune cells, and gut microbiota. Gasdermins (GSDMs), a family of membrane pore forming proteins, can trigger rapid inflammatory cell death in the gut, mainly pyroptosis and NETosis. Importantly, there is increasing literature on the non-cell lytic roles of GSDMs in intestinal homeostasis and disease. While GSDMA is low and PJVK is not expressed in the gut, high GSDMB and GSDMC expression is found almost restrictively in intestinal epithelial cells. Conversely, GSDMD and GSDME show more ubiquitous expression among various cell types in the gut. The N-terminal region of GSDMs can be liberated for pore formation by an array of proteases in response to pathogen- and danger-associated signals, but it is not fully understood what cell type-specific mechanisms activate intestinal GSDMs. The host relies on GSDMs for pathogen defense, tissue tolerance, and cancerous cell death; however, pro-inflammatory milieu caused by pyroptosis and excessive cytokine release may favor the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease and cancer. Therefore, a thorough understanding of spatiotemporal mechanisms that control gasdermin expression, activation, and function is essential for the development of future therapeutics for intestinal disorders.

Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDMs) share a common functional domain structure and are best known for their capacity to form membrane pores. These pores are hallmarks of a specific form of cell death called pyroptosis and mediate the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1β (IL1β) and interleukin 18 (IL18). Thereby, Gasdermins have been implicated in various immune responses against cancer and infectious diseases such as acute Salmonella Typhimurium (S.Tm) gut infection. However, to date, we lack a comprehensive functional assessment of the different Gasdermins (GSDMA-E) during S.Tm infection in vivo. Here, we used epithelium-specific ablation, bone marrow chimeras, and mouse lines lacking individual Gasdermins, combinations of Gasdermins or even all Gasdermins (GSDMA1-3C1-4DE) at once and performed littermate-controlled oral S.Tm infections in streptomycin-pretreated mice to investigate the impact of all murine Gasdermins. While GSDMA, C, and E appear dispensable, we show that GSDMD i) restricts S.Tm loads in the gut tissue and systemic organs, ii) controls gut inflammation kinetics, and iii) prevents epithelium disruption by 72 h of the infection. Full protection requires GSDMD expression by both bone-marrow-derived lamina propria cells and intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). In vivo experiments as well as 3D-, 2D-, and chimeric enteroid infections further show that infected IEC extrusion proceeds also without GSDMD, but that GSDMD controls the permeabilization and morphology of the extruding IECs, affects extrusion kinetics, and promotes overall mucosal barrier capacity. As such, this work identifies a unique multipronged role of GSDMD among the Gasdermins for mucosal tissue defense against a common enteric pathogen.

Abstract
Sepsis is a hyper-heterogeneous syndrome in which the systemic inflammatory response persists throughout the course of the disease and the inflammatory and immune responses are dynamically altered at different pathogenic stages. Gasdermins (GSDMs) proteins are pore-forming executors in the membrane, subsequently mediating the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cell death. With the increasing research on GSDMs proteins and sepsis, it is believed that GSDMs protein are one of the most promising therapeutic targets in sepsis in the future. A more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the functions of GSDMs proteins in sepsis is important to alleviate the multi-organ dysfunction and reduce sepsis-induced mortality. In this review, we focus on the function of GSDMs proteins, the molecular mechanism of GSDMs involved in sepsis, and the regulatory mechanism of GSDMs-mediated signaling pathways, aiming to provide novel ideas and therapeutic strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
Gasdermins comprise a family of pore-forming proteins, which play critical roles in (auto)inflammatory diseases and cancer. They are expressed as self-inhibited precursor proteins consisting of an aminoterminal cytotoxic effector domain (NT-GSDM) and a carboxyterminal inhibitor domain (GSDM-CT) separated by an unstructured linker region. Proteolytic processing in the linker region liberates NT-GSDM, which translocates to membranes, forms oligomers, and induces membrane permeabilization, which can disturb the cellular equilibrium that can lead to cell death. Gasdermin activation and pore formation are associated with inflammation, particularly when induced by the inflammatory protease caspase-1 upon inflammasome activation. These gasdermin pores allow the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-18 and induce a lytic type of cell death, termed pyroptosis that supports inflammation, immunity, and tissue repair. However, even at the cellular level, the consequences of gasdermin activation are diverse and range from induction of programmed cell death - pyroptosis or apoptosis - to poorly characterized protective mechanisms. The specific effects of gasdermin activation can vary between species, cell types, the membrane that is being permeabilized (plasma membrane, mitochondrial membrane, etc.), and the overall biological state of the local tissue/cells. In epithelia, gasdermins seem to play crucial roles. Keratinocytes represent the main cell type of the epidermis, which is the outermost skin layer with an essential barrier function. Compared to other tissues, keratinocytes express all members of the gasdermin family, in part in a differentiation-specific manner. That raises questions regarding the specific roles of individual GSDM family members in the skin, the mechanisms and consequences of their activation, and the potential crosstalk between them. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about gasdermins with a focus on keratinocytes and the skin and discuss the possible roles of the different family members in immunity and disease.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is widely recognized as a major risk factor for cancer formation, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Recently, it was shown that Gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein drives pyroptotic cell death in macrophages on cleavage by inflammatory caspases. Even though the Gsdmd gene is specifically expressed in the intestinal epithelium, the role of Gsdmd in the intestinal tissues remains poorly characterized. In this study, we examined the biological role of Gsdmd in colorectal cancer (CRC) development, employing an azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium carcinogenesis model. Results show that GSDMD deficiency enhances CRC development, probably due to decreased apoptosis caused by downregulation of interferon-gamma (IFNγ)-signal transducer and activator 1 (STAT1) signaling. Furthermore, we show that GSDMD protein is diminished in human colorectal cancer, indicating involvement of GSDMD in repression of CRC development in humans. Our findings provide a new insight into functions of Gsdmd/GSDMD in colonic inflammation and human CRC development.

Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDMs) protein family express in intestinal epithelial cells or lamina propria immune cells, and play a nonnegligible function during gut homeostasis. With the gradually in-depth investigation of GSDMs protein family, the proteases that cleave GSDMA-E have been identified. Intestinal GSDMs-induced pyroptosis is demonstrated to play a crucial role in the removal of self-danger molecules and clearance of pathogenic organism infection by mediating inflammatory reaction and collapsing the protective niche for pathogens. Simultaneously, excessive pyroptosis leading to the release of cellular contents including inflammatory mediators into the extracellular environment, enhancing the mucosal immune response. GSDMs-driver pyroptosis also participates in a novel inflammatory cell death, PANoptosis, which makes a significant sense to the initiation and progression of gut diseases. Moreover, GSDMs are expressed in healthy intestinal tissue without obvious pyroptosis and inflammation, indicating the potential intrinsic physiological functions of GSDMs that independent of pyroptotic cell death during maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. This review provides an overview of the latest advances in the physiological and pathological properties of GSDMs, including its mediated pyroptosis, related PANoptosis, and inherent functions independent of pyroptosis, with a focus on their roles involved in intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Intestinal barrier disruption due to the intestinal epithelial cells’ (IECs) death is one of the critical pathological features of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). SM934, an artemisinin analog, has previously been proven to ameliorate colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice by suppressing inflammation response. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of SM934 on the epithelial barrier and the underlying mechanism in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mice. We demonstrated that SM934 restored the body weight and colon length, and improved the intestine pathology. Furthermore, SM934 treatment preserved the intestinal barrier function via decreasing the intestinal permeability, maintaining epithelial tight junction (TJ) protein expressions, and preventing apoptosis of epithelial cells, which were observed both in the colon tissue and the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced human colonic epithelial cell line HT-29. Specifically, SM934 reduced the pyroptosis of IECs exposed to pathogenic signaling and inhibited pyroptosis-related factors such as NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), adapter apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), cysteine protease-1 (caspase-1), gasdermin (GSDMD), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) both in colon tissue and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) co-stimulated HT-29 cells in vitro. Moreover, SM934 interdicted pyroptosis via blocking the transduction of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) signaling pathways. In conclusion, SM934 protected TNBS-induced colitis against intestinal barrier disruption by inhibiting the apoptosis and pyroptosis of epithelial cells via the NLRP3/NF-κB/MAPK signal axis, and intestinal barrier protection in company with an anti-inflammatory strategy might yield greater benefits in IBD treatment.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common disease that poses a huge threat to human health. Irreversible cardiac damage due to cardiomyocyte death and lack of regenerative capacity under stressful conditions, ultimately leading to impaired cardiac function, is the leading cause of death worldwide. The regulation of cardiomyocyte death plays a crucial role in CVD. Previous studies have shown that the modes of cardiomyocyte death include apoptosis and necrosis. However, another new form of death, pyroptosis, plays an important role in CVD pathogenesis. Pyroptosis induces the amplification of inflammatory response, increases myocardial infarct size, and accelerates the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, and the control of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis holds great promise for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we summarized the characteristics, occurrence and regulation mechanism of pyroptosis are reviewed, and also discussed its role and mechanisms in CVD, such as atherosclerosis (AS), myocardial infarction (MI), arrhythmia and cardiac hypertrophy.

Gasdermin-B Pro-Tumor Function in Novel Knock-in Mouse Models Depends on the in vivo Biological Context. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:813929. [PMID: 35281099 PMCID: PMC8907722 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.813929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Gasdermins (GSDM) genes play complex roles in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Gasdermin-B (GSDMB) is frequently upregulated in human cancers, especially in HER2-amplified breast carcinomas, and can promote diverse pro-tumor functions (invasion, metastasis, therapy-resistance). In particular, the GSDMB shortest translated variant (isoform 2; GSDMB2) increases aggressive behavior in breast cancer cells. Paradoxically, GSDMB can also have tumor suppressor (cell death induction) effects in specific biological contexts. However, whether GSDMB has inherent oncogenic, or tumor suppressor function in vivo has not been demonstrated yet in preclinical mouse models, since mice lack GSDMB orthologue. Therefore, to decipher GSDMB cancer functions in vivo we first generated a novel knock-in mouse model (R26-GB2) ubiquitously expressing human GSDMB2. The comprehensive histopathological analysis of multiple tissues from 75 animals showed that nucleus-cytoplasmic GSDMB2 expression did not clearly affect the overall frequency nor the histology of spontaneous neoplasias (mostly lung carcinomas), but associated with reduced incidence of gastric tumors, compared to wildtype animals. Next, to assess specifically the GSDMB2 roles in breast cancer, we generated two additional double transgenic mouse models, that co-express GSDMB2 with either the HER2/NEU oncogene (R26-GB2/MMTV-NEU mice) or the Polyoma middle-T antigen (R26-GB2/MMTV-PyMT) in breast tumors. Consistent with the pro-tumor effect of GSDMB in HER2+ human breast carcinomas, R26-GB2/MMTV-NEU GSDMB2-positive mice have double breast cancer incidence than wildtype animals. By contrast, in the R26-GB2/MMTV-PyMT model of fast growing and highly metastatic mammary tumors, GSDMB2 expression did not significantly influence cancer development nor metastatic potential. In conclusion, our data prove that GSDMB2 in vivo pro-tumor effect is evidenced only in specific biological contexts (in concert with the HER2 oncogene), while GSDMB2 alone does not have overall intrinsic oncogenic potential in genetically modified mice. Our novel models are useful to identify the precise stimuli and molecular mechanisms governing GSDMB functions in neoplasias and can be the basis for the future development of additional tissue-specific and context-dependent cancer models.

High Expression of GSDMC Is Associated with Poor Survival in Kidney Clear Cell Cancer. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:5282894. [PMID: 34778452 PMCID: PMC8589493 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5282894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
This study is aimed at exploring the potential role of GSDMC in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). We analyzed the expression of GSDMC in 33 types of cancers in TCGA database. The results showed that the expression of GSDMC was upregulated in most cancers. We found a significant association between high expression of GSDMC and shortened patient overall survival, progression-free survival, and disease-specific survival. In vitro experiments have shown that the expression of GSDMC was significantly elevated in KIRC cell lines. Moreover, decreased expression of GSDMC was significantly associated with decreased cell proliferation. In summary, we believe that this study provides valuable data supporting future clinical treatment.

Abstract
In response to a wide range of stimulations, host cells activate pyroptosis, a kind of inflammatory cell death which is provoked by the cytosolic sensing of danger signals and pathogen infection. In manipulating the cleavage of gasdermins (GSDMs), researchers have found that GSDM proteins serve as the real executors and the deterministic players in fate decisions of pyroptotic cells. Whether inflammatory characteristics induced by pyroptosis could cause damage the host or improve immune activity is largely dependent on the context, timing, and response degree. Here, we systematically review current points involved in regulatory mechanisms and the multidimensional roles of pyroptosis in several metabolic diseases and the tumor microenvironment. Targeting pyroptosis may reveal potential therapeutic avenues.

Abstract
Crosstalk between coagulation and innate immunity contributes to the progression of many diseases, including infection and cardiovascular disease. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is among the most common causes of cardiovascular death. Here, we show that inflammasome activation and subsequent pyroptosis play an important role in the development of venous thrombosis. Using a flow restriction-induced mouse venous thrombosis model in the inferior vena cava (IVC), we show that deficiency of caspase-1, but not caspase-11, protected against flow restriction-induced thrombosis. Interleukin-1β expression increased in the IVC following ligation, indicating that inflammasome is activated during injury. Deficiency of gasdermin D (GSDMD), an essential mediator of pyroptosis, protected against restriction-induced venous thrombosis. After induction of venous thrombosis, fibrin was deposited in the veins of wild-type mice, as detected using immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes mouse fibrin, but not in the caspase-1-deficient or GSDMD-deficient mice. Depletion of macrophages by gadolinium chloride or deficiency of tissue factor also protected against venous thrombosis. Our data reveal that tissue factor released from pyroptotic monocytes and macrophages following inflammasome activation triggers thrombosis.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD), distinct from accidental cell death, refers to a process of well-controlled programmed cell death with well-defined pathological mechanisms. In the past few decades, various terms for RCDs were coined, and some of them have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various types of acute kidney injury (AKI). Cisplatin is widely used as a chemotherapeutic drug for a broad spectrum of cancers, but its usage was hampered because of being highly nephrotoxic. Cisplatin-induced AKI is commonly seen clinically, and it also serves as a well-established prototypic model for laboratory investigations relevant to acute nephropathy affecting especially the tubular compartment. Literature reports over a period of three decades have indicated that there are multiple types of RCDs, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial permeability transition-mediated necrosis, and some of them are pertinent to the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced AKI. Interestingly, myo-inositol metabolism, a vital biological process that is largely restricted to the kidney, seems to be relevant to the pathogenesis of certain forms of RCDs. A comprehensive understanding of RCDs in cisplatin-induced AKI and their relevance to myo-inositol homeostasis may yield novel therapeutic targets for the amelioration of cisplatin-related nephropathy.

Abstract
Gasdermins were recently identified as the mediators of pyroptosis — inflammatory cell death triggered by cytosolic sensing of invasive infection and danger signals. Upon activation, gasdermins form cell membrane pores, which release pro-inflammatory cytokines and alarmins and damage the integrity of the cell membrane. Roles for gasdermins in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, deafness and cancer are emerging, revealing potential novel therapeutic avenues. Here, we review current knowledge of the family of gasdermins, focusing on their mechanisms of action and roles in normal physiology and disease. Efforts to develop drugs to modulate gasdermin activity to reduce inflammation or activate more potent immune responses are highlighted. Gasdermins (GSDMs) are a recently characterized protein family that mediate a programmed inflammatory cell death termed pyroptosis. Here, Lieberman and colleagues review current understanding of the expression, activation and regulation of GSDMs, highlighting their roles in cell death, cytokine secretion and inflammation. Emerging opportunities to develop GSDM-targeted drugs and the associated challenges are highlighted.

Abstract
IL-1α serves as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. Although pro-IL-1α has cytokine activity, proteolytic maturation increases its potency and release from cells. IL-1α maturation occurs in a caspase-1-dependent manner following inflammasome activation. However, pro-IL-1α is not a substrate of caspase-1, and it remains unclear what mediates the maturation of this cytokine downstream of inflammasomes. Here, we show that gasdermin D (GSDMD), an executor of pyroptosis, is required for the rapid induction of IL-1α maturation by non-particulate inflammasome activators. Ablation of GSDMD abrogates the maturation of IL-1α, but not of IL-1β. Inflammasome-induced maturation of IL-1α relies on extracellular Ca2+ and calpains. Ca2+ influx and calpain activation are induced in a GSDMD-dependent manner. Glycine, which inhibits cell lysis, but not GSDMD pore formation, does not affect IL-1α maturation. These results suggest that during inflammasome activation, GSDMD processed by caspase-1 forms plasma membrane pores that mediate Ca2+ influx, resulting in the calpain-dependent maturation of IL-1α.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in many developed and developing countries. Pyroptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death (PCD). With progress in research on DKD, researchers have become increasingly interested in elucidating the role of pyroptosis in DKD pathogenesis. This review focuses on the three pathways of pyroptosis generation: the canonical inflammasome, non-canonical inflammasome, and caspase-3-mediated inflammasome pathways. The molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms of the pyroptosis-related inflammasome pathway in the development of DKD are summarized. Activation of the diabetes-mediated pyroptosis-related inflammasomes, such as nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and the IL-18 axis, plays an essential role in DKD lesions. By inhibiting activation of the TLR4 and NLRP3 inflammasomes, the production of caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 is inhibited, thereby improving the pathological changes associated with DKD. Studies using high-glucose-induced cell models, high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced DKD animal models, and human biopsies will help determine the spatial and temporal expression of DKD inflammatory components. Recent studies have confirmed the relationship between the pyroptosis-related inflammasome pathway and kidney disease. However, these studies are relatively superficial at present, and the mechanism needs further elucidation. Linking these findings with disease activity and prognosis would provide new ideas for DKD research.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver injury is the main factor in acute liver failure. The current study aims to investigate the protection of limonin, an antioxidant compound from citrus fruit, against LPS-induced liver toxicity and elucidate the potential mechanisms. We found that limonin elevated cell viability and reduced LDH release in LPS-treated HepG2 cells. Limonin also inhibited LPS-induced pyroptosis by inhibiting membrane rupture, reducing ROS generation, and decreasing gasdermin D activation. Moreover, limonin inhibited the formation of a NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/Apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) complex by reducing the related protein expression and the colocalization cytosolic of NLRP3 and caspase-1 and then suppressed IL-1β maturation. Ultimately, we established LPS-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo by using C57BL/6 mice administrated LPS (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally and limonin (50 and 100 mg/kg) orally. We found that limonin dereased the serum ALT and AST activity and LDH release and increased the hepatic GSH amount in LPS-treated mice. Additionally, the liver histological evaluation revealed that limonin protects against LPS-induced liver damage. We further demonstrated that limonin ameliorated LPS-induced hepatotoxicity by inhibiting pyroptosis via the NLRP3/gasdermin D signaling pathway. In summary, this study uncovered the mechanism whereby limonin mitigated LPS-induced hepatotoxicity and documented that limonin might be a promising candidate drug for LPS-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) plays pivotal roles in controlling bacterial infections and is produced after the processing of pro-IL-1β by caspase-1, which is activated by the inflammasome. In addition, caspase-1 cleaves the cytosolic protein, gasdermin-D (GSDMD), whose N-terminal fragment subsequently forms a pore in the plasma membrane, leading to the pyroptic cell-death-mediated release of IL-1β. Living cells can also release IL-1β via GSDMD pores or other unconventional secretory pathways. However, the precise mechanisms are poorly defined. Here, we show that lipoproteins from Mycoplasma salivarium (MsLP) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MpLP) and an M. salivarium-derived lipopeptide (FSL-1), which are activators of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, induce IL-1β release from mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) without inducing cell death. The levels of IL-1β release induced by MsLP, MpLP and FSL-1 were more than 100 times lower than those induced by the canonical NLRP3 activator nigericin. The IL-1β release-inducing activities of MsLP, MpLP and FSL-1 were not attenuated in BMMs from GSDMD-deficient mice. Furthermore, both active caspase-1 and cleaved GSDMD were detected in response to transfection of FSL-1 into the cytosol of BMMs, but the release of IL-1β was unaffected by GSDMD deficiency. Meanwhile, punicalagin, a membrane-stabilizing agent, drastically down-regulated the release of IL-1β in response to FSL-1. These results suggest that mycoplasmal lipoprotein/lipopeptide-induced IL-1β release by living macrophages is not mediated via GSDMD but rather through changes in membrane permeability.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are innate immune mechanisms that activate caspase-1 in response to a variety of stimuli, including Salmonella infection. Active caspase-1 has a potential to induce two different types of cell death, depending on the expression of the pyroptosis mediator gasdermin D (GSDMD); following caspase-1 activation, GSDMD-sufficient and GSDMD-null/low cells undergo pyroptosis and apoptosis, respectively. Although Bid, a caspase-1 substrate, plays a critical role in caspase-1 induction of apoptosis in GSDMD-null/low cells, an additional mechanism that mediates this cell death independently of Bid has also been suggested. This study investigated the Bid-independent pathway of caspase-1-induced apoptosis. Caspase-1 has been reported to process caspase-6 and caspase-7. Silencing of caspase-7, but not caspase-6, significantly reduced the activation of caspase-3 induced by caspase-1, which was activated by chemical dimerization, in GSDMD/Bid-deficient cells. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated depletion of caspase-7 had the same effect on the caspase-3 activation. Moreover, in the absence of GSDMD and Bid, caspase-7 depletion reduced apoptosis induced by caspase-1 activation. Caspase-7 was activated following caspase-1 activation independently of caspase-3, suggesting that caspase-7 acts downstream of caspase-1 and upstream of caspase-3. Salmonella induced the activation of caspase-3 in GSDMD-deficient macrophages, which relied partly on Bid and largely on caspase-1. The caspase-3 activation and apoptotic morphological changes seen in Salmonella-infected GSDMD/Bid-deficient macrophages were attenuated by caspase-7 knockdown. These results suggest that in addition to Bid, caspase-7 can also mediate caspase-1-induced apoptosis and provide mechanistic insights into inflammasome-associated cell death that is one major effector mechanism of inflammasomes.

Abstract
Caspase-1 activated in inflammasomes triggers a programmed necrosis called pyroptosis, which is mediated by gasdermin D (GSDMD). However, GSDMD-deficient cells are still susceptible to caspase-1-mediated cell death. Therefore, here, we investigate the mechanism of caspase-1-initiated cell death in GSDMD-deficient cells. Inflammasome stimuli induce apoptosis accompanied by caspase-3 activation in GSDMD-deficient macrophages, which largely relies on caspase-1. Chemical dimerization of caspase-1 induces pyroptosis in GSDMD-sufficient cells, but apoptosis in GSDMD-deficient cells. Caspase-1-induced apoptosis involves the Bid-caspase-9-caspase-3 axis, which can be followed by GSDME-dependent secondary necrosis/pyroptosis. However, Bid ablation does not completely abolish the cell death, suggesting the existence of an additional mechanism. Furthermore, cortical neurons and mast cells exhibit little or low GSDMD expression and undergo apoptosis after oxygen glucose deprivation and nigericin stimulation, respectively, in a caspase-1- and Bid-dependent manner. This study clarifies the molecular mechanism and biological roles of caspase-1-induced apoptosis in GSDMD-low/null cell types. In inflammasomes, caspase-1 activation leads to pyroptosis mediated by gasdermin D, but cells lacking gasdermin-D still initiate caspase-dependent cell death. Here, Tsuchiya et al. show that these cells undergo Bid- and caspase-3-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
Inflammasome activation and subsequent pyroptosis are critical defense mechanisms against microbes. However, overactivation of inflammasome leads to death of the host. Although recent studies have uncovered the mechanism of pyroptosis following inflammasome activation, how pyroptotic cell death drives pathogenesis, eventually leading to death of the host, is unknown. Here, we identified inflammasome activation as a trigger for blood clotting through pyroptosis. We have shown that canonical inflammasome activation by the conserved type III secretion system (T3SS) rod proteins from Gram-negative bacteria or noncanonical inflammasome activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced systemic blood clotting and massive thrombosis in tissues. Following inflammasome activation, pyroptotic macrophages released tissue factor (TF), an essential initiator of coagulation cascades. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of TF abolishes inflammasome-mediated blood clotting and protects against death. Our data reveal that blood clotting is the major cause of host death following inflammasome activation and demonstrate that inflammasome bridges inflammation with thrombosis.

Caspase-1 inhibition by VX-765 administered at reperfusion in P2Y 12 receptor antagonist-treated rats provides long-term reduction in myocardial infarct size and preservation of ventricular function. Basic Res Cardiol 2018; 113:32.

Abstract
Patients with acute myocardial infarction receive a P2Y12 receptor antagonist prior to reperfusion, a treatment that has reduced, but not eliminated, mortality, or heart failure. We tested whether the caspase-1 inhibitor VX-765 given at reperfusion (a requirement for clinical use) can provide sustained reduction of infarction and long-term preservation of ventricular function in a pre-clinical model of ischemia/reperfusion that had been treated with a P2Y12 receptor antagonist. To address, the hypothesis open-chest rats were subjected to 60-min left coronary artery branch occlusion/120-min reperfusion. Vehicle or inhibitors were administered intravenously immediately before reperfusion. With vehicle only, 60.3 ± 3.8% of the risk zone suffered infarction. Ticagrelor, a P2Y12 antagonist, and VX-765 decreased infarct size to 42.8 ± 3.3 and 29.2 ± 4.9%, respectively. Combining ticagrelor with VX-765 further decreased infarction to 17.5 ± 2.3%. Similar to recent clinical trials, combining ticagrelor and ischemic postconditioning did not result in additional cardioprotection. VX-765 plus another P2Y12 antagonist, cangrelor, also decreased infarction and preserved ventricular function when reperfusion was increased to 3 days. In addition, VX-765 reduced infarction in blood-free, isolated rat hearts indicating at least a portion of injurious caspase-1 activation originates in cardiac tissue. While the pro-drug VX-765 only protected isolated hearts when started prior to ischemia, its active derivative VRT-043198 provided the same amount of protection when started at reperfusion, indicating that even in blood-free hearts, caspase-1 appears to exert its injury only at reperfusion. Moreover, VX-765 decreased circulating IL-1β, prevented loss of cardiac glycolytic enzymes, preserved mitochondrial complex I activity, and decreased release of lactate dehydrogenase, a marker of pyroptosis. Our results are the first demonstration of a clinical-grade drug given at reperfusion providing additional, sustained infarct size reduction when added to a P2Y12 receptor antagonist.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between gasdermin D (GSDMD) and gastric cancer (GC) cell proliferation, and to determine whether the downregulated expression of GSDMD contributed to the tumorigenesis and proliferation of GC cells. METHODS GSDMD expressions in GC tissues and matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The effect of GSDMD on cell proliferation in vitro was assessed by the colony formation assay and cell viability assays. In vivo, xenografted tumors in nude mice were evaluated. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, the alterations of several cell cycle-related and cell signaling pathway proteins were analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS GSDMD expression was decreased in GC, and the decreased expression of GSDMD could markedly promote the proliferation of tumors in vivo and in vitro. The downregulation of GSDMD accelerated S/G2 cell transition by activating extracellular signal regulated kinase, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathways and regulating cell cycle-related proteins in GC. CONCLUSION GSDMD may protect against cell proliferation of GC, and it may be used as a diagnostic and treatment strategy for GC.

Abstract
Around, 30–40% of HER2-positive breast cancers do not show substantial clinical benefit from the targeted therapy and, thus, the mechanisms underlying resistance remain partially unknown. Interestingly, ERBB2 is frequently co-amplified and co-expressed with neighbour genes that may play a relevant role in this cancer subtype. Here, using an in silico analysis of data from 2,096 breast tumours, we reveal a significant correlation between Gasdermin B (GSDMB) gene (located 175 kilo bases distal from ERBB2) expression and the pathological and clinical parameters of poor prognosis in HER2-positive breast cancer. Next, the analysis of three independent cohorts (totalizing 286 tumours) showed that approximately 65% of the HER2-positive cases have GSDMB gene amplification and protein over-expression. Moreover, GSDMB expression was also linked to poor therapeutic responses in terms of lower relapse free survival and pathologic complete response as well as positive lymph node status and the development of distant metastasis under neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment settings, respectively. Importantly, GSDMB expression promotes survival to trastuzumab in different HER2-positive breast carcinoma cells, and is associated with trastuzumab resistance phenotype in vivo in Patient Derived Xenografts. In summary, our data identifies the ERBB2 co-amplified and co-expressed gene GSDMB as a critical determinant of poor prognosis and therapeutic response in HER2-positive breast cancer.

Yi YS. Caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome: a critical sensor of intracellular lipopolysaccharide in macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses. Immunology 2017; 152:207-217.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses mediated by macrophages are part of the innate immune system, whose role is to protect against invading pathogens. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria stimulates an inflammatory response by macrophages. During the inflammatory response, extracellular LPS is recognized by Toll-like receptor 4, one of the pattern recognition receptors that activates inflammatory signalling pathways and leads to the production of inflammatory mediators. The innate immune response is also triggered by intracellular inflammasomes, and inflammasome activation induces pyroptosis and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 by macrophages. Cysteine-aspartic protease (caspase)-11 and the human orthologues caspase-4/caspase-5 were recently identified as components of the 'non-canonical inflammasome' that senses intracellular LPS derived from Gram-negative bacteria during macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses. Direct recognition of intracellular LPS facilitates the rapid oligomerization of caspase-11/4/5, which results in pyroptosis and the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. LPS is released into the cytoplasm from Gram-negative bacterium-containing vacuoles by small interferon-inducible guanylate-binding proteins encoded on chromosome 3 (GBPchr3 )-mediated lysis of the vacuoles. In vivo studies have clearly shown that caspase-11-/- mice are more resistant to endotoxic septic shock by excessive LPS challenge. Given the evidence, activation of caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasomes by intracellular LPS is distinct from canonical inflammasome activation and provides a new paradigm in macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Pyroptosis was long regarded as caspase-1-mediated monocyte death in response to certain bacterial insults. Caspase-1 is activated upon various infectious and immunological challenges through different inflammasomes. 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. Recent studies identified the pyroptosis executioner, gasdermin D (GSDMD), a substrate of both caspase-1 and caspase-11/4/5. GSDMD represents a large gasdermin family bearing a novel membrane pore-forming activity. Thus, pyroptosis is redefined as gasdermin-mediated programmed necrosis. Gasdermins are associated with various genetic diseases, but their cellular function and mechanism of activation (except for GSDMD) are unknown. The gasdermin family suggests a new area of research on pyroptosis function in immunity, disease, and beyond.

Abstract
In the previous issue of Biochemical Journal, Shi et al. [(2015) 468, 325-336] report that Gasdermin (Gsdm) family proteins regulate autophagy activity, which is counter-balanced by the opposite functions of well-conserved N- and C-terminal domains of the proteins. The Gsdm family was originally identified as the causative gene of dominant skin mutations exhibiting alopecia. Each member of the Gsdm gene family shows characteristic expression patterns in the epithelium, which is tissue and differentiation stage-specific. Previous phenotype analyses of mutant mice, biochemical analyses of proteins and genome-wide association studies showed that the Gsdm gene family might be involved in epithelial cell development, apoptosis, inflammation, carcinogenesis and immune-related diseases. To date, however, their molecular function(s) remain unclear. Shi et al. found that mutations in the C-terminal domain of Gsdma3, a member of the Gsdm family, induce autophagy. Further studies revealed that the wild-type N-terminal domain has pro-autophagic activity and that the C-terminal domain conversely inhibits this N-terminal function. These opposite functions of the two domains were also observed in other Gsdm family members. Thus, their study provides a new insight into the function of Gsdm genes in epithelial cell lineage, causality of cancers and immune-related diseases including childhood-onset asthma.

[PMID: 26375003 DOI: 10.1038/nature15514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3718] [Impact Index Per Article: 413.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2015] [Accepted: 08/25/2015] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Inflammatory caspases (caspase-1, -4, -5 and -11) are critical for innate defences. Caspase-1 is activated by ligands of various canonical inflammasomes, and caspase-4, -5 and -11 directly recognize bacterial lipopolysaccharide, both of which trigger pyroptosis. Despite the crucial role in immunity and endotoxic shock, the mechanism for pyroptosis induction by inflammatory caspases is unknown. Here we identify gasdermin D (Gsdmd) by genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9 nuclease screens of caspase-11- and caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis in mouse bone marrow macrophages. GSDMD-deficient cells resisted the induction of pyroptosis by cytosolic lipopolysaccharide and known canonical inflammasome ligands. Interleukin-1β release was also diminished in Gsdmd(-/-) cells, despite intact processing by caspase-1. Caspase-1 and caspase-4/5/11 specifically cleaved the linker between the amino-terminal gasdermin-N and carboxy-terminal gasdermin-C domains in GSDMD, which was required and sufficient for pyroptosis. The cleavage released the intramolecular inhibition on the gasdermin-N domain that showed intrinsic pyroptosis-inducing activity. Other gasdermin family members were not cleaved by inflammatory caspases but shared the autoinhibition; gain-of-function mutations in Gsdma3 that cause alopecia and skin defects disrupted the autoinhibition, allowing its gasdermin-N domain to trigger pyroptosis. These findings offer insight into inflammasome-mediated immunity/diseases and also change our understanding of pyroptosis and programmed necrosis.

Abstract
Intracellular lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, and Burkholderia thailandensis activates mouse caspase-11, causing pyroptotic cell death, interleukin-1β processing, and lethal septic shock. How caspase-11 executes these downstream signalling events is largely unknown. Here we show that gasdermin D is essential for caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis and interleukin-1β maturation. A forward genetic screen with ethyl-N-nitrosourea-mutagenized mice links Gsdmd to the intracellular lipopolysaccharide response. Macrophages from Gsdmd(-/-) mice generated by gene targeting also exhibit defective pyroptosis and interleukin-1β secretion induced by cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide or Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, Gsdmd(-/-) mice are protected from a lethal dose of lipopolysaccharide. Mechanistically, caspase-11 cleaves gasdermin D, and the resulting amino-terminal fragment promotes both pyroptosis and NLRP3-dependent activation of caspase-1 in a cell-intrinsic manner. Our data identify gasdermin D as a critical target of caspase-11 and a key mediator of the host response against Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (Feno) value is a biomarker of eosinophilic airway inflammation and is associated with childhood asthma. Identification of common genetic variants associated with childhood Feno values might help to define biological mechanisms related to specific asthma phenotypes. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify the genetic variants associated with childhood Feno values and their relation with asthma. METHODS Feno values were measured in children age 5 to 15 years. In 14 genome-wide association studies (N = 8,858), we examined the associations of approximately 2.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with Feno values. Subsequently, we assessed whether significant SNPs were expression quantitative trait loci in genome-wide expression data sets of lymphoblastoid cell lines (n = 1,830) and were related to asthma in a previously published genome-wide association data set (cases, n = 10,365; control subjects: n = 16,110). RESULTS We identified 3 SNPs associated with Feno values: rs3751972 in LYR motif containing 9 (LYRM9; P = 1.97 × 10(-10)) and rs944722 in inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2; P = 1.28 × 10(-9)), both of which are located at 17q11.2-q12, and rs8069176 near gasdermin B (GSDMB; P = 1.88 × 10(-8)) at 17q12-q21. We found a cis expression quantitative trait locus for the transcript soluble galactoside-binding lectin 9 (LGALS9) that is in linkage disequilibrium with rs944722. rs8069176 was associated with GSDMB and ORM1-like 3 (ORMDL3) expression. rs8069176 at 17q12-q21, but not rs3751972 and rs944722 at 17q11.2-q12, were associated with physician-diagnosed asthma. CONCLUSION This study identified 3 variants associated with Feno values, explaining 0.95% of the variance. Identification of functional SNPs and haplotypes in these regions might provide novel insight into the regulation of Feno values. This study highlights that both shared and distinct genetic factors affect Feno values and childhood asthma.

Abstract
Mouse Gasdermin A3 (Gsdma3) is the causative gene for dominant skin mutations exhibiting alopecia. Mouse has two other Gsdma3-related genes, Gsdma and Gsdma2, whereas human and rat have only one related gene. To date, no skin mutation has been reported for human GSDMA and rat Gsdma as well as mouse Gsdma and Gsdma2. Therefore, it is possible that only Gsdma3 has gain-of-function type mutations to cause dominant skin phenotype. To elucidate functional divergence among the Gsdma-related genes in mice, and to infer the function of the human and rat orthologs, we examined in vivo function of mouse Gsdma by generating Gsdma knockout mice and transgenic mice that overexpress wild-type Gsdma or Gsdma harboring a point mutation (Alanine339Threonine). The Gsdma knockout mice shows no visible phenotype, indicating that Gsdma is not essential for differentiation of epidermal cells and maintenance of the hair cycle, and that Gsdma is expressed specifically both in the inner root sheath of hair follicles and in suprabasal cell layers, whereas Gsdma3 is expressed only in suprabasal layers. By contrast, both types of the transgenic mice exhibited epidermal hyperplasia resembling the Gsdma3 mutations, although the phenotype depended on the genetic background. These results indicate that the mouse Gsdma and Gsdma3 genes share common function to regulate epithelial maintenance and/or homeostasis, and suggest that the function of human GSDMA and rat Gsdma, which are orthologs of mouse Gsdma, is conserved as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene variants on chromosome 17q12-21 are associated with an increased risk of childhood-onset asthma, a risk known to be modified by environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). OBJECTIVES To assess whether the association of rs2305480 on chromosome 17q12 in the GSDML gene with asthma-like symptoms in the first 4 years of life is modified by smoke exposure during fetal and early postnatal life. METHODS We used data from two independent prospective cohort studies from fetal life onwards in the Netherlands. We genotyped rs2305480 and assessed maternal smoking during pregnancy and ETS exposure at the age of 2. Asthma-like symptoms, defined as any reported wheezing, shortness of breath or dry nocturnal cough, were reported by parents when the children were 1, 2, 3, and 4 years. Analyses were based on a total group of 4461 Caucasian children. RESULTS The G risk-allele of rs2305480 was associated with asthma-like symptoms [overall odds ratio 1.17 (1.11, 1.24), 2.66E-9]. The effect of rs2305480 on asthma-like symptoms was stronger among children who were exposed to smoke during fetal life (P-interaction = 0.04). Smoke exposure in early postnatal life was also associated with an increased effect of the 17q12 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on asthma-like symptoms (P-interaction = 5.06E-4). These associations were consistent in both cohorts. CONCLUSION A 17q12 variant, rs2305480, was associated with asthma-like symptoms in preschool children, and this association was modified by smoke exposure already during fetal life, and in infancy. Further investigation regarding SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with rs2305480 in relation to pathophysiological pathways is needed.

Abstract
GASDERMIN B (GSDMB) belongs to the novel gene family GASDERMIN (GSDM). All GSDM family members are located in amplicons, genomic regions often amplified during cancer development. Given that GSDMB is highly expressed in cancerous cells and the locus resides in an amplicon, GSDMB may be involved in cancer development and/or progression. However, only limited information is available on GSDMB expression in tissues, normal and cancerous, from cancer patients. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms that regulate GSDMB expression in gastric tissues are poorly understood. We investigated the spatiotemporal expression patterns of GSDMB in gastric cancer patients and the 5' regulatory sequences upstream of GSDMB. GSDMB was not expressed in the majority of normal gastric-tissue samples, and the expression level was very low in the few normal samples with GSDMB expression. Most pre-cancer samples showed moderate GSDMB expression, and most cancerous samples showed augmented GSDMB expression. Analysis of genome sequences revealed that an Alu element resides in the 5' region upstream of GSDMB. Reporter assays using intact, deleted, and mutated Alu elements clearly showed that this Alu element positively regulates GSDMB expression and that a putative IKZF binding motif in this element is crucial to upregulate GSDMB expression.
