The role of pyroptosis in inflammatory diseases.

ABSTRACT: Programmed cell death has crucial roles in the physiological maturation of an organism, the maintenance of metabolism, and disease progression. Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death which has recently received much attention, is closely related to inflammation and occurs via canonical, non-canonical, caspase-3-dependent, and unclassified pathways. The pore-forming gasdermin proteins mediate pyroptosis by promoting cell lysis, contributing to the outflow of large amounts of inflammatory cytokines and cellular contents. Although the inflammatory response is critical for the body's defense against pathogens, uncontrolled inflammation can cause tissue damage and is a vital factor in the occurrence and progression of various diseases. In this review, we briefly summarize the major signaling pathways of pyroptosis and discuss current research on the pathological function of pyroptosis in autoinflammatory diseases and sterile inflammatory diseases.

Self-adaptive pyroptosis-responsive nanoliposomes block pyroptosis in autoimmune inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Nanoliposomes have a broad range of applications in the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases because of their ability to considerably enhance drug transport. For their clinical application, nanoliposomes must be able to realize on-demand release of drugs at disease sites to maximize drug-delivery efficacy and minimize side effects. Therefore, responsive drug-release strategies for inflammation treatment have been explored; however, no specific design has been realized for a responsive drug-delivery system based on pyroptosis-related inflammation. Herein, we report a pioneering strategy for self-adaptive pyroptosis-responsive liposomes (R8-cardiolipin-containing nanoliposomes encapsulating dimethyl fumarate, RC-NL@DMF) that precisely release encapsulated anti-pyroptotic drugs into pyroptotic cells. The activated key pyroptotic protein, the N-terminal domain of gasdermin E, selectively integrates with the cardiolipin of liposomes, thus forming pores for controlled drug release, pyroptosis, and inflammation inhibition. Therefore, RC-NL@DMF exhibited effective therapeutic efficacies to alleviate autoimmune inflammatory damages in zymosan-induced arthritis mice and dextran sulfate sodium-induced inflammatory bowel disease mice. Our novel approach holds great promise for self-adaptive pyroptosis-responsive on-demand drug delivery, suppressing pyroptosis and treating autoimmune inflammatory diseases.

Cell pyroptosis in health and inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Inflammation is a defense mechanism that can protect the host against microbe invasion. A proper inflammatory response can maintain homeostasis, but continuous inflammation can cause many chronic inflammatory diseases. To properly treat inflammatory disorders, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of inflammation need to be fully elucidated. Pyroptosis is an inflammation-related cell death program, that is different from other types of cell death. Pyroptosis plays crucial roles in host defense against infections through the release of proinflammatory cytokines and cell lysis. Accumulating evidence indicates that pyroptosis is associated with inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, pneumonia, and colonitis. Furthermore, pyroptosis is also closely involved in cancers that develop as a result of inflammation, such as liver cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colon cancer. Here, we review the function and mechanism of pyroptosis in inflammatory disease development and provide a comprehensive description of the potential role of pyroptosis in inflammatory diseases.

The role of lncRNA-mediated pyroptosis in cardiovascular diseases.

Project description:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Pyroptosis is a unique kind of programmed cell death that varies from apoptosis and necrosis morphologically, mechanistically, and pathophysiologically. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are thought to be promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Recent research has demonstrated that lncRNA-mediated pyroptosis has significance in CVD and that pyroptosis-related lncRNAs may be potential targets for the prevention and treatment of specific CVDs such as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), atherosclerosis (AS), and myocardial infarction (MI). In this paper, we collected previous research on lncRNA-mediated pyroptosis and investigated its pathophysiological significance in several cardiovascular illnesses. Interestingly, certain cardiovascular disease models and therapeutic medications are also under the control of lncRNa-mediated pyroptosis regulation, which may aid in the identification of new diagnostic and therapy targets. The discovery of pyroptosis-related lncRNAs is critical for understanding the etiology of CVD and may lead to novel targets and strategies for prevention and therapy.

Mechanisms and Therapeutic Regulation of Pyroptosis in Inflammatory Diseases and Cancer.

Project description:Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is considered to be a pathological form of cell death when mediated by an intracellular program and it balances cell death with survival of normal cells. Pyroptosis, a type of PCD, is induced by the inflammatory caspase cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) and apoptotic caspase cleavage of gasdermin E (GSDME). This review aims to summarize the latest molecular mechanisms about pyroptosis mediated by pore-forming GSDMD and GSDME proteins that permeabilize plasma and mitochondrial membrane activating pyroptosis and apoptosis. We also discuss the potentiality of pyroptosis as a therapeutic target in human diseases. Blockade of pyroptosis by compounds can treat inflammatory disease and pyroptosis activation contributes to cancer therapy.

Role of Pyroptosis in Respiratory Diseases and its Therapeutic Potential.

Project description:Pyroptosis is an inflammatory type of regulated cell death that is dependent on inflammasome activation and downstream proteases such as caspase-1 or caspase 4/5/11. The main executors are gasdermins, which have an inherent pore-forming function on the membrane and release inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18 and high mobility group box 1. Emerging evidence demonstrates that pyroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of various pulmonary diseases. In this review, we mainly discuss the biological mechanisms of pyroptosis, explore the relationship between pyroptosis and respiratory diseases, and discuss emerging therapeutic strategies for respiratory diseases.

Role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases

Project description:Abstract Programmed cell death (PCD) is regarded as a pathological form of cell death with an intracellular program mediated, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis and embryonic development. Pyroptosis is a new paradigm of PCD, which has received increasing attention due to its close association with immunity and disease. Pyroptosis is a form of inflammatory cell death mediated by gasdermin that promotes the release of proinflammatory cytokines and contents induced by inflammasome activation. Recently, increasing evidence in studies shows that pyroptosis has a crucial role in inflammatory conditions like cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, neurological diseases (NDs), and metabolic diseases (MDs), suggesting that targeting cell death is a potential intervention for the treatment of these inflammatory diseases. Based on this, the review aims to identify the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways related to pyroptosis activation and summarizes the current insights into the complicated relationship between pyroptosis and multiple human inflammatory diseases (CVDs, cancer, NDs, and MDs). We also discuss a promising novel strategy and method for treating these inflammatory diseases by targeting pyroptosis and focus on the pyroptosis pathway application in clinics. This review summarizes current insights into the complicated relationship between pyroptosis and multiple inflammatory diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, neurological diseases (NDs), and metabolic diseases (MDs). It also discusses a promising novel strategy and method for treating these inflammatory diseases by targeting pyroptosis and focus on the pyroptosis pathway application in clinics.

Dual role of pyroptosis in liver diseases: mechanisms, implications, and therapeutic perspectives.

Project description:Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death induced by inflammasome with a mechanism distinct from that of apoptosis, occurs via one of the three pathway types: classical, non-classical, and granzyme A/B-dependent pyroptosis pathways. Pyroptosis is implicated in various diseases, notably exhibiting a dual role in liver diseases. It facilitates the clearance of damaged hepatocytes, preventing secondary injury, and triggers immune responses to eliminate pathogens and damaged cells. Conversely, excessive pyroptosis intensifies inflammatory responses, exacerbates hepatocyte damage and promotes the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells, accelerating liver fibrosis. Furthermore, by sustaining an inflammatory state, impacts the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. This review comprehensively summarizes the dual role of pyroptosis in liver diseases and its therapeutic strategies, offering new theoretical foundations and practical guidance for preventing and treating of liver diseases.

The Role of Glucocorticoids in Inflammatory Diseases.

Project description:For more than 70 years, glucocorticoids (GCs) have been a powerful and affordable treatment option for inflammatory diseases. However, their benefits do not come without a cost, since GCs also cause side effects. Therefore, strong efforts are being made to improve their therapeutic index. In this review, we illustrate the mechanisms and target cells of GCs in the pathogenesis and treatment of some of the most frequent inflammatory disorders affecting the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, the lung, and the joints, as well as graft-versus-host disease, which often develops after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In addition, an overview is provided of novel approaches aimed at improving GC therapy based on chemical modifications or GC delivery using nanoformulations. GCs remain a topic of highly active scientific research despite being one of the oldest class of drugs in medical use.

Role of Smad7 in inflammatory bowel diseases.

Project description:Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in man, are complex diseases in which genetic and environmental factors interact to promote an excessive mucosal immune response directed against normal components of the bacterial microflora. There is also evidence that the pathologic process is due to defects in counter-regulatory mechanisms, such as those involving the immunosuppressive cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. Indeed, studies in human IBD tissues and murine models of colitis have documented a disruption of TGF-β1 signalling marked by a block in the phosphorylation of Smad3, a signalling molecule associated with the activated TGF-β receptor, due to up-regulation of Smad7, an intracellular inhibitor of Smad3 phosphorylation. Knock-down of Smad7 with a specific antisense oligonucleotide restores TGF-β1/Smad3 signalling, thus resulting in a marked suppression of inflammatory cytokine production and attenuation of murine colitis. These findings together with the demonstration that Smad7 antisense oligonucleotide is not toxic when administered in mice have paved the way for the development of a Smad7 antisense oligonucleotide-based pharmaceutical compound that is now ready to enter the clinics. In this article we review the available data supporting the pathogenic role of Smad7 in IBD and discuss whether and how Smad7 antisense therapy could help dampen the ongoing inflammation in IBD.

The 'speck'-tacular oversight of the NLRP3-pyroptosis pathway on gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases and tumorigenesis.

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome is an intracellular sensor and an essential component of the innate immune system involved in danger recognition. An important hallmark of inflammasome activation is the formation of a single supramolecular punctum, known as a speck, per cell, which is the site where the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 are converted into their bioactive form. Speck also provides the platform for gasdermin D protein activation, whose N-terminus domain perforates the plasma membrane, allowing the release of mature cytokines alongside with a highly inflammatory form of cell death, namely pyroptosis. Although controlled NLRP3 inflammasome-pyroptosis pathway activation preserves mucosal immunity homeostasis and contributes to host defense, a prolonged trigger is deleterious and could lead, in genetically predisposed subjects, to the onset of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as to gastrointestinal cancer. Experimental evidence shows that the NLRP3 inflammasome has both protective and pathogenic abilities. In this review we highlight the impact of the NLRP3-pyroptosis axis on the pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract at molecular level, focusing on newly discovered features bearing pro- and anti-inflammatory and neoplastic activity, and on targeted therapies tested in preclinical and clinical trials.
