Target data

Function

Thiol protease that acts as a mediator of programmed cell death (PubMed:28314590, PubMed:29898893). Initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death pathway through cleavage of Gasdermin-D (GSDMD): cleavage releases the N-terminal gasdermin moiety (Gasdermin-D, N-terminal) that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed:29898893). Also mediates cleavage and maturation of IL18 (PubMed:37993714). Cleavage of GSDMD and IL18 is not strictly dependent on the consensus cleavage site but depends on an exosite interface on CASP4 (PubMed:37993714). During non-canonical inflammasome activation, cuts CGAS and may play a role in the regulation of antiviral innate immune activation (PubMed:28314590).

    Iohexol induces TEC pyroptosis via activation of inflammatory caspases in mice and humans.a ELISA detection of mature IL-1β in human TEC culture supernatants 72 h after TECs treated with iohexol in a dose-dependent manner. b Immunoblot analysis of the inflammatory caspase-11 in mouse TECs and the inflammatory caspases 4/5 in human TECs with extracellular iohexol (20 mg/ml) or isosmotic mannitol for 72 h. c Quantification of the inflammatory caspases expression shows significant upregulation of caspase-11 and caspases 4/5 in mouse and human TECs, respectively. Statistics obtained from ANOVA. d mRNA expression of inflammatory caspases was determined by real-time PCR in human TECs after a 72 h period of iohexol (20 mg/ml) or isosmotic mannitol incubation. e Release of LDH showed that iohexol (20 mg/ml) or isosmotic mannitol incubation for 16 h led to marked cell lysis. Cell lysis was blocked by the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. f Incubation with iohexol (20 mg/ml) or isosmotic mannitol for 72 h increased mature IL-1β secretion, measured by ELISA in cell culture supernatants, whereas the response was abrogated by the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. Experiments were performed in triplicate. Ctrl, control. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. control or as indicated. Data are means ± SEM. Statistics obtained from ANOVA
