Role of Pyroptosis in Respiratory Diseases and its Therapeutic Potential

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, su...

Sumario: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.
