Project description:Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is the executioner of pyroptosis, which is important for host defense against pathogen infection. After activation, caspase-mediated cleavage of GSDMD liberates an N-terminal fragment (GSDMD-NT), which oligomerizes and forms pores in the plasma membrane, leading to cell death and subsequent release of proinflammatory cytokines. How this process is spatiotemporally controlled to promote pyroptosis in cells has been a fundamental, unaddressed question. Here, we identify GSDMD as a substrate for reversible S-palmitoylation on cysteine 192 (Cys192) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. We found that the palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC7palmitoylates GSDMD to direct its cleavage by caspases in pyroptosis by promoting the interaction of GSDMD and caspases. We further show that after GSDMD cleavage, palmitoylation of GSDMD-NTpromotes its plasma membrane translocation and binding, and then acyl protein thioesterase 2 (APT2) depalmitoylates GSDMD-NT to unmask the Cys192 residue to promote oxidation-mediated oligomerization and pyroptosis. Perturbation of either palmitoylation or depalmitoylation suppresses pyroptosis, extends the survival of mice from LPS-induced lethal septic shock and sensitizes mice to bacterial infection. Thus. our findings reveal a model through which a palmitoylation-depalmitoylationrelay spatially and temporally controls GSDMD activation in pyroptosis.

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:The process of pyroptosis is mediated by inflammasomes and a downstream effector known as gasdermin D (GSDMD). Upon cleavage by inflammasome-associated caspases, the N-terminal domain of GSDMD forms membrane pores that promote cytolysis. Numerous proteins promote GSDMD cleavage, but none are known to be required for pore formation after GSDMD cleavage. Herein, we report a forward genetic screen that identified the Ragulator-Rag complex as being necessary for GSDMD pore formation and pyroptosis in macrophages. Mechanistic analysis revealed that Ragulator-Rag is not required for GSDMD cleavage upon inflammasome activation, but rather promotes GSDMD oligomerization in the plasma membrane. Defects in GSDMD oligomerization and pore formation can be rescued by mitochondrial poisons that stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and ROS modulation impacts the ability of inflammasome pathways to promote pore formation downstream of GSDMD cleavage. These findings reveal an unexpected link between key regulators of immunity (inflammasome-GSDMD) and metabolism (Ragulator-Rag).

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:The establishment of an early pro-regenerative niche is crucial for tissue regeneration. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pyroptosis accounts for the release of inflammatory cytokines upon various insults. However, little is known about its role in tissue regeneration followed by homeostatic maintenance. Here, we show that macrophage GSDMD deficiency delayed tissue recovery, with little impact on the local inflammatory milieu or the lytic pyroptosis process. Metabolite secretome profiling of hyperactivated macrophages unveiled the non-canonical metabolite-secreting function of GSDMD. And we further identified 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12-EET) as a bioactive pro-healing oxylipin, secreted from hyperactive macrophages in a GSDMD-dependent manner. Indeed, accumulation of 11,12-EET by direct supplementation or deletion of its hydrolytic enzyme Ephx2 accelerated muscle regeneration. We further demonstrated that the Ephx2 level accumulated within aged muscle, which led to a decreased intramuscular 11,12-EET level. And consecutive 11,12-EET treatment rejuvenated aged muscle. Mechanistically, 11,12-EET amplifies fibroblast growth factor/FGF receptor (FGF-FGFR) signaling by modulating FGF liquid-liquid phase separation, hence boosting the activation and proliferation of muscle stem cells (MuSCs). These data depict a GSDMD-guided metabolite crosstalk between macrophages and MuSCs that governs the repair process, which offers new therapeutic insights for the regeneration of injured or aged tissues.
