Project description:Acute kidney injury(AKI) is associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease(CKD). There is still a lack of effective prevention for AKI-CKD transition. In the present study, we simultaneously explored the contribution of GSDMD and GSDME in folic acid (FA)-induced nephropathy, a model mimicking the essential components of the AKI-CKD transition. We found that blockage of both GSDMD and GSDME-mediated pyroptosis could have accumulative protection against FA-induced AKI-CKD transition. GSDME-mediated pyroptosis played a crucial role in tubular cell damage. GSDMD could exert important functions in infiltration of inflammatory cells and NETs formation. Pyroptotic tubular cells triggered NETs generation and macrophage polarization. NETs promoted macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition. Our results illustrated the orchestration of GSDMD and GSDME in AKI-CKD transition, providing new insights into the molecular mechanism for the clinical dilemma.

Project description:It is widely acknowledged that gasdermin family proteins, which are known as the executors of pyroptosis, undergo protease-mediated cleavage prior to inducing pyroptosis. Here, we unexpectedly discovered a non-canonical form of pyroptosis mediated by full-length GSDME (FL-GSDME) without any proteolytic cleavage. Upon intense ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-triggered DNA damage, hyperactivation of nuclear PARP1 led to extensive formation of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers and then release to the cytoplasm.These PAR polymers activate PARP5 to catalyze GSDME PARylation, resulted in a conformational change in GSDME that relieved autoinhibition imposed by its C terminus on the N terminus. On the other hand, intense UV irradiation boosted mitochondrial fission-dependent generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mito-ROS), further promoting cytochrome c-catalyzed peroxidation of cardiolipin. This lipid-ROS signal was then sensed by PARylated-GSDME and then induced oxidative oligomerization of GSDME, which facilitated FL-GSDME plasma membrane targeting for perforation, eventually inducing pyroptosis. Reagents that concurrently stimulate PARPs activity and lipid-ROS also induced sequential modifications i.e., PARylation and oxidation of FL-GSDME and synergistically promoted pyroptotic cell death. Overall, our findings elucidate a novel mechanism underlying cleavage-independent function of GSDME in executing cell demise, further enriching the paradigms and cognition of FL-GSDME-mediated non-canonical pyroptosis.

Project description:Acidic tumor microenvironment (TME)-evoked MRC nanoparticles (MRC NPs) co-delivering immune agonist RGX-104 and photosensitizer chlorine e6 (Ce6) are reported for pyroptosis-mediated immunotherapy. RGX-104 remodels TME by transcriptional activation of ApoE to regress myeloid-derived suppressor cells’ (MDSCs) activity, which neatly creates foreshadowing for intensifying pyroptosis. Considering Ce6-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) can strengthen oxidative stress and organelles destruction to increase immunogenicity, immunomodulatory-photodynamic MRC nanodrugs will implement an aforementioned two-pronged strategy to enhance gasdermin E (GSDME)-dependent pyroptosis. RNA-seq analysis of MRC at the cellular level is introduced to first elucidate the intimate relationship between RGX-104 acting on LXR/ApoE axis and pyroptosis, where RGX-104 provides the prerequisite for pyroptosis participating in antitumor therapy. Briefly, MRC with favorable biocompatibility tackles the obstacle of hydrophobic drugs delivery, and becomes a powerful pyroptosis inducer to reinforce immune efficacy. MRC-elicited pyroptosis in combination with anti-PD-1 blockade therapy boosts immune response in solid tumors, successfully arresting invasive metastasis and extending survival based on remarkable antitumor immunity. MRC may initiate a new window for immuno-photo pyroptosis stimulators augmenting pyroptosis-based immunotherapy. Owing to the transcriptome sequencing on 4T1 cells exposed to various treatment, pyroptosis mechanism of MRC was thoroughly analyzed via comparing the expression discrepancy among PBS, MRC, and MRC+L groups.

Project description:A Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-inspired system capable of using ultralow-dose chemical drugs to manipulate cell death is needed to investigate the antitumour immunotherapy. Recent studies revealed pyroptosis, a proinflammatory type of cell death, could promote antitumour immune function. However, high-dose chemotherapy led to cytokine release syndrome by pyroptosis. Therefore, pyroptosis- inducing ultralow-dose chemotherapy was potential in preclinical and clinical research, but its efficacy, safety and the antitumour immune responses were not clear. Here, we established a near-infrared light controllable killing system (BIK system) by which ultralow-dose doxorubicin could be spatiotemporally transported to immunosuppressive tumour cells and mediate efficient pyroptosis. Compared with using DOX directly, the BIK system reduced total drug consumption to less than one- thirtieth the common dose in vitro. MPI imaging and fluorescence imaging showed our BIK system exhibited good tumour targeting and tumour penetration. We applied this system for pyroptosis-induced antitumor therapies, and the results showed that less than 43 µg kg-1 DOX was sufficient for GSDME-positive tumour regression with negligible injuries to major organs. Notably, the gasdermin-deficient 4T1 tumours could be controlled by combining BIK system with decitabine treatment. The antitumour immune function were proven to correlate with the impressive efficacy of pyroptosis-inducing ultralow-dose chemotherapy, and the concomitant immune memory prevented metastasis, but high-dose DOX led to poor T cells infiltration which caused immunosuppression and lung metastasis. Owing to the robust antitumour immune function induced by BIK system, advanced-stage bulky tumours could be controlled or shrunken by synergizing with anti-PD-1 therapy. This study provided new insights into the design of nanoassisted systems for activating the antitumour immune function by microstimulation; our application of the BIK system suggested that ultralow-dose chemotherapy was sufficient for inducing a robust pyroptosis-mediated antitumour immune function

Project description:summary (1)Objective: To investigate the antileukemic role of Lip-1 in K562 leukemia cells. (2)Methods: We performed CCK-8, flow cytometry, microscopy, western blotting assay, next generation sequencing, PCR assays to evaluate the effect of Lip-1 in K562 leukemia cells. (3)Results: Lip-1 inhibited K562 cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. RNA sequencing revealed several pathways that were affected by Lip-1, such as the G1/S transition of the mitotic cell cycle and extrinsic or intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways. The results of flow cytometry indicated that Lip-1 arrests the cell cycle. K562 cells were characterized by swelling and plasma membrane rupture. The expression of the hallmark of pyroptosis, the cleaved N-terminal GSDME, increased. Endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy were involved in Lip-1-induced cell death. (4)Conclusion：Lip-1 induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and secondary pyroptosis in K562 leukemia cells, which provides new hope for the treatment of leukemia.

Project description:Malignant tumors display profound changes in cellular metabolism, yet how these altered metabolites affect the development and growth of tumors is not fully understood. Here, we used metabolomics to analyze the metabolic profile differences in ovarian cancer, and found that citric acid (CA) is the most significantly downregulated metabolite. Recently, CA has been reported to inhibit the growth of a variety of tumor cells, but whether it is involved in pyroptosis of ovarian cancer and its potential molecular mechanisms still remains to be further investigated. Here, we demonstrated that CA inhibits the growth of ovarian cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis revealed that CA significantly promoted the expression of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) and caspase-4 (CASP4). Morphologic examination by transmission electron microscopy indicated that CA-treated ovarian cancer cells exhibited typical pyroptosis characteristics. Further mechanistic analyses showed that CA facilitates pyroptosis via CASP4/TXNIP-NLRP3-Gesdermin-d (GSDMD) pathway in ovarian cancer. This study elucidated that CA induces ovarian cancer cell death through classical and non-classical pyroptosis pathways, which may be beneficial as an ovarian cancer therapy.

Project description:Cannabidiol (CBD), a phytochemical derived from Cannabis sativa L., has been demonstrated to exhibit promising anti-tumor properties in multiple cancer types. However, the effects of CBD on Hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC) remains unknown. We have shown that CBD effectively suppresses HCC cell growth in vivo and in vitro, and induced HCC cell pyroptosis in a caspase-3/GSDME-dependent manner. We further demonstrated that accumulation of Integrative Stress Response (ISR) and mitochondrial stress may contribute to the initiation of pyroptotic signaling by CBD. Simultaneously, CBD can repress aerobic glycolysis through modulation of the ATF4-IGFBP1-Akt axis, due to the depletion of ATP and crucial intermediate metabolites. Collectively, these observations indicate that CBD could be considered as a potential compound for HCC therapy.
