Meybodi SM, Ejlalidiz M, Manshadi MR, Raeisi M, Zarin M, Kalhor Z, Saberiyan M, Hamblin MR. Crosstalk between hypoxia-induced pyroptosis and immune escape in cancer: From mechanisms to therapy. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2024; 197:104340. [PMID: 38570176 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2024.104340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Pyroptosis can be triggered through both canonical and non-canonical inflammasome pathways, involving the cleavage of gasdermin (GSDM) protein family members, like GSDMD and GSDME. The impact of pyroptosis on tumors is nuanced, because its role in regulating cancer progression and anti-tumor immunity may vary depending on the tumor type, stage, location, and immune status. However, pyroptosis cannot be simply categorized as promoting or inhibiting tumors based solely on whether it is acute or chronic in nature. The interplay between pyroptosis and cancer is intricate, with some evidence suggesting that chronic pyroptosis may facilitate tumor growth, while the acute induction of pyroptosis could stimulate anti-cancer immune responses. Tumor hypoxia activates hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) signaling to modulate pyroptosis and immune checkpoint expression. Targeting this hypoxia-pyroptosis-immune escape axis could be a promising therapeutic strategy. This review highlights the complex crosstalk between hypoxia, pyroptosis, and immune evasion in the TME.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common brain tumors characterized by complicated heterogeneity. The genetic, molecular, and histological pathology of gliomas is characterized by high neuro-inflammation. The inflammatory microenvironment in the central nervous system (CNS) has been closely linked with inflammasomes that control the inflammatory response and coordinate innate host defenses. Dysregulation of the inflammasome causes an abnormal inflammatory response, leading to carcinogenesis in glioma. Because of the clinical importance of the various physiological properties of the inflammasome in glioma, the inflammasome has been suggested as a promising treatment target for glioma management. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the contribution of the inflammasomes in glioma and therapeutic insights. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common intracranial malignant tumor and is notorious for its poor prognosis. An important element in the short overall survival of GBM patients is the lack of understanding the pathogenesis and progression of tumor and deficiency biomarkers that can be used for early diagnosis and therapeutic sensitivity monitoring. Studies have shown that transmembrane protein 2 (TMEM2) is participated in tumorigenesis of various human tumors, including rectal and breast cancers. Although Qiuyi Jiang et al. have reported that TMEM2 combined with IDH1/2 and 1p19q can predict the survival time of glioma patients based on bioinformatics, its expression and biological role of glioma remain unclear. In our study, we investigated the effect of TMEM2 expression level on glioma malignancy in public datasets and an independent internal dataset. We revealed TEMM2 expression was higher in GBM tissues than in non-tumor brain tissues (NBT). Moreover, the increase in TMEM2 expression level was closely related to tumor malignancy. The survival analysis showed that TMEM2 high expression reduces survival time in all glioma patients, including GBM and LGG patients. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that knockdown TMEM2 inhibited proliferation of GBM cells. In addition, we analyzed TMEM2 mRNA levels in different GBM subtypes, and demonstrated that TMEM2 expression was upregulated in mesenchymal subtype. Meanwhile, bioinformatics analysis and transwell assay indicated that knockdown TMEM2 suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GBM. Importantly, Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that TMEM2 high expression reduced the treatment response to TMZ in GBM patients. Knockdown of TMEM2 alone did not reduce apoptosis GBM cells, but significant apoptotic cells were observed in the group treated with additional TMZ. These studies may contribute to improving the accuracy of early diagnosis and evaluating the effectiveness of TMZ treatment in GBM patients.

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.

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.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common aggressive malignant brain cancer and is chemo- and radioresistant, with poor therapeutic outcomes. The "double-edged sword" of virus-induced cell death could be a potential solution if the oncolytic virus specifically kills cancer cells but spares normal ones. Zika virus (ZIKV) has been defined as a prospective oncolytic virus by selectively targeting GBM cells, but unclear understanding of how ZIKV kills GBM and the consequences hinders its application. Here, we found that the cellular gasdermin D (GSDMD) is required for the efficient death of a human GBM cell line caused by ZIKV infection. The ZIKV protease specifically cleaves human GSDMD to activate caspase-independent pyroptosis, harming both viral protease-harboring and naive neighboring cells. Analyzing human GSDMD variants showed that most people were susceptible to ZIKV-induced cytotoxicity, except for those with variants that resisted ZIKV cleavage or were defective in oligomerizing the N terminus GSDMD cleavage product. Consistently, ZIKV-induced secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β and cytolytic activity were both stopped by a small-molecule inhibitor targeting GSDMD oligomerization. Thus, potential ZIKV oncolytic therapy for GBM would depend on the patient's GSDMD genetic background and could be abolished by GSDMD inhibitors if required.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and it mostly arises as a consequence of persistent chronic inflammation. Recently, NLRP3 inflammasome has caught the attention of many research groups due to its involvement in different types of cancer. However, its direct role in HCC remains elusive. Our study aimed to evaluate the role of NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis in HCC and to clarify the potential mechanism by which 17β-estradiol (E2) can be used as a protective factor against HCC. NLRP3, caspase-1 (CASP1) as well as gasdermin-D (GSDMD) mRNA expression levels were assessed in human HCC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous liver tissues. Also, HepG2 HCC cells were cultured and treated with E2, followed by detection of the mRNA levels of these three genes. Our results revealed that NLRP3, CASP1, and GSDMD mRNA expressions were significantly lower in HCC tissues than in controls, and this under-expression was closely correlated with advanced HCC stages and grades. In contrast, HepG2 HCC cells displayed significantly higher expression levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components and GSDMD in the two E2-treated groups compared to the untreated group. Also, NLRP3, CASP1, and GSDMD mRNA expression levels were positively correlated with each other. This study confirmed that lack of NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in HCC progression and 17β-estradiol-induced activation of NLRP3 inflammasome may be effective in HCC treatment as it inhibited tumor cell growth and proliferation by triggering CASP1-dependent pyroptosis in HCC cells.

Abstract
Background: Glioma has the highest fatality rate among intracranial tumours. Besides, the heterogeneity of gliomas leads to different therapeutic effects even with the same treatment. Developing a new signature for glioma to achieve the concept of “personalised medicine” remains a significant challenge. Method: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) were searched to acquire information on glioma patients. Initially, correlation and univariate Cox regression analyses were performed to screen for prognostic pyroptosis-related long noncoding RNAs (PRLs). Secondly, 11 PRLs were selected to construct the classifier using certain algorithms. The efficacy of the classifier was then detected by the “timeROC” package for both the training and validation datasets. CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE packages were applied for comparing the differences (variations) in the immune landscape between the high- and low-risk groups. Finally, the therapeutic efficacy of the chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy were assessed using the “oncoPredict” package, survival analysis, and the tumour immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) score, respectively. Results: A classifier comprising 11 PRLs was constructed. The PRL classifier exhibits a more robust prediction capacity for the survival outcomes in patients with gliomas than the clinical characteristics irrespective of the dataset (training or validation dataset). Moreover, it was found that the tumour landscape between the low- and high-risk groups was significantly different. A high-risk score was linked to a more immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. According to the outcome prediction and analysis of the chemotherapy, patients with different scores showed different responses to various chemotherapeutic drugs and immunotherapy. Meanwhile, the patient with glioma of WHO grade Ⅳ or aged >50 years in the high risk group had better survival following radiotherapy. Conclusion: We constructed a PRL classifier to roughly predict the outcome of patients with gliomas. Furthermore, the PRL classifier was linked to the immune landscape of glioma and may guide clinical treatments.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common of all central nervous system (CNS) malignancies and is associated with a poor prognosis. Pyroptosis has been proven to be associated with the progression of multiple tumors and CNS diseases. However, the relationships between pyroptosis and clinical prognosis and immune cell infiltration are unclear in glioma. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive exploration of pyroptosis in glioma. First, prognosis-related genes were screened at each key regulatory locus in the pyroptosis pathway, and the prognostic ability and coexpression relationships of GSDMD and its upstream pathway genes NLRC4/CASP1/CASP4 were identified and well validated in multiple datasets. Tissue microarray-based immunohistochemistry results showed higher levels of NLRC4 and N-terminal GSDMD in high-grade gliomas, providing conclusive evidence of pyroptosis in gliomas. The robustness of the prognostic model based on these four genes was well validated in TCGA and CGGA cohorts. Bulk RNA-seq-based analysis showed that the group defined as the high-risk group according to the model showed activation of multiple inflammatory response pathways and impaired synaptic gene expression and had a higher infiltration of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and a hypersuppressed immune microenvironment. More importantly, three independent single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) datasets demonstrated that tumor-infiltrating macrophages, particularly BMDMs but not tissue-resident microglia, showed significant coexpression of the GSDMD and CASP genes, and BMDMs from high-grade gliomas accounted for a higher proportion of immune infiltrating cells and had higher expression of pyroptosis genes. Finally, we revealed the activation of pathways in response to LPS/bacteria and oxidative stress during BMDM development toward the pyroptosis cell fate by pseudotime trajectory analysis, suggesting potential BMDM pyroptosis initiators. The above results provide not only novel insights into the pathological mechanisms of glioma but also novel therapeutic targets for glioma, suggesting the potential application of pyroptosis inhibitors (e.g., disulfiram).

Abstract
Background Pyroptosis is a programmed cell death mediated by the gasdermin superfamily, accompanied by inflammatory and immune responses. Exogenously activated pyroptosis is still not well characterized in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, whether pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) in lower-grade glioma (LGG) may be used as a biomarker remains unknown. Methods The RNA-Sequencing and clinical data of LGG patients were downloaded from publicly available databases. Bioinformatics approaches were used to analyze the relationship between PRGs and LGG patients’ prognosis, clinicopathological features, and immune status. The NMF algorithm was used to differentiate phenotypes, the LASSO regression model was used to construct prognostic signature, and GSEA was used to analyze biological functions and pathways. The expression of the signature genes was verified using qRT-PCR. In addition, the L1000FWD and CMap tools were utilized to screen potential therapeutic drugs or small molecule compounds and validate their effects in glioma cell lines using CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Results Based on PRGs, we defined two phenotypes with different prognoses. Stepwise regression analysis was carried out to identify the 3 signature genes to construct a pyroptosis-related signature. After that, samples from the training and test cohorts were incorporated into the signature and divided by the median RiskScore value (namely, Risk-H and Risk-L). The signature shows excellent predictive LGG prognostic power in the training and validation cohorts. The prognostic signature accurately stratifies patients according to prognostic differences and has predictive value for immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint expression. Finally, the inhibitory effect of the small molecule inhibitor fedratinib on the viability and proliferation of various glioma cells was verified using cell biology-related experiments. Conclusion This study developed and validated a novel pyroptosis-related signature, which may assist instruct clinicians to predict the prognosis and immunological status of LGG patients more precisely. Fedratinib was found to be a small molecule inhibitor that significantly inhibits glioma cell viability and proliferation, which provides a new therapeutic strategy for gliomas.

Optimization of cancer immunotherapy through pyroptosis: A pyroptosis-related signature predicts survival benefit and potential synergy for immunotherapy in glioma. Front Immunol 2022; 13:961933. [PMID: 35990696 PMCID: PMC9382657 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.961933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pyroptosis is a critical type of programmed cell death that is strongly associated with the regulation of tumor and immune cell functions. However, the role of pyroptosis in tumor progression and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment in gliomas has not been extensively studied. Thus, in this study, we aimed to establish a comprehensive pyroptosis-related signature and uncover its potential clinical application in gliomas. Methods The TCGA glioma cohort was obtained and divided into training and internal validation cohorts, while the CGGA glioma cohort was used as an external validation cohort. Unsupervised consensus clustering was performed to identify pyroptosis-related expression patterns. A Cox regression analysis was performed to establish a pyroptosis-related risk signature. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to analyze the expression of signature genes in glioma tissues. Immune infiltration was analyzed and validated by immunohistochemical staining. The expression patterns of signature genes in different cell types were analyzed using single-cell RNA sequencing data. Finally, therapeutic responses to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and potential small-molecule inhibitors were investigated. Results Patients with glioma were stratified into clusters 1 and 2 based on the expression patterns of pyroptosis-related genes. Cluster 2 showed a longer overall (P<0.001) and progression-free survival time (P<0.001) than Cluster 1. CD8+ T cell enrichment was observed in Cluster 1. A pyroptosis-related risk signature (PRRS) was then established. The high PRRS group showed a significantly poorer prognosis than the low PRRS group in the training cohort (P<0.001), with validation in the internal and external validation cohorts. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that CD8+ T cells were enriched in high PRRS glioma tissues. PRRS genes also showed cell-specific expression in tumor and immune cells. Moreover, the high PRRS risk group showed higher temozolomide sensitivity and increased response to anti-PD1 treatment in a glioblastoma immunotherapy cohort. Finally, Bcl-2 inhibitors were screened as candidates for adjunct immunotherapy of gliomas. Conclusion The pyroptosis-related signature established in this study can be used to reliably predict clinical outcomes and immunotherapy responses in glioma patients. The correlation between the pyroptosis signature and the tumor immune microenvironment may be used to further guide the sensitization of glioma patients to immunotherapy.

Emerging mechanisms of pyroptosis and its therapeutic strategy in cancer. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:338. [PMID: 35896522 PMCID: PMC9329358 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-01101-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Pyroptosis, a type of inflammatory programmed cell death, is triggered by caspase cleavage of gasdermin family proteins. Based on accumulating evidence, pyroptosis is closely associated with tumour development, but the molecular mechanism underlying pyroptosis activation and the signalling pathways regulated by pyroptosis remain unclear. In this review, we first briefly introduce the definition, morphological characteristics, and activation pathways of pyroptosis and the effect of pyroptosis on anticancer immunity. Then we review recent progress concerning the complex role of pyroptosis in various tumours. Importantly, we summarise various FDA-approved chemotherapy drugs or natural compounds that exerted antitumor properties by inducing pyroptosis of cancer cells. Moreover, we also focus on the current application of nanotechnology-induced pyroptosis in tumour therapy. In addition, some unsolved problems and potential future research directions are also raised.

Lighting a Fire: Gasdermin-Mediated Pyroptosis Remodels the Glioma Microenvironment and Promotes Immune Checkpoint Blockade Response. Front Immunol 2022; 13:910490.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory programmed cell death pathway mediated by gasdermins. Exploring the role of pyroptosis can provide new insights into tumor malignancy. The most recent studies on pyroptosis have focused on tumor cells. However, the effects of pyroptosis on the tumor microenvironment (TME), immunotherapeutic responses, and efficacy have been neglected, especially in case of glioma. In this study, four independent glioma cohorts comprising 1,339 samples and a pan-cancer cohort comprising 10,535 tumor samples were analyzed. The relationships among pyroptosis status, prognosis, microenvironment cellular components, and clinical and biological phenotypes were investigated through the identification of pyroptosis subtypes, construction of a gasdermin-related prognostic index (GPI), and evaluation of immunological characteristics in glioma. The Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer database and “pRRophetic” package in R were used to estimate temozolomide (TMZ) sensitivity. The “Submap” package and external immunotherapy cohorts were used to investigate and confirm the role of GPI in response to and efficacy of immunotherapy in glioma. Finally, potential small-molecule compounds related to GPI were identified using the connectivity map database and mode-of-action analysis. We identified three different pyroptosis subtypes: cluster 1 (C1) characterized by a higher GPI, while cluster 2 (C2) and cluster 3 (C3) characterized by a lower GPI. The high GPI of C1 was associated with glioma progression and worse prognoses, whereas the low GPI of subtype C2 and C3 was associated with better prognoses. However, patients with high GPIs were found to be more sensitive to TMZ and immune checkpoint blockade than those with low GPIs. Furthermore, gasdermin D may be a principal potential biomarker and play key roles in pyroptosis-inducible therapy combined with immunotherapy in glioma. This study provides a clinical, biological, and molecular landscape of pyroptosis and suggests that pyroptosis of glioma cells may perform the dual function of promoting both tumorigenesis and antitumor immunity.
