Gasdermins in sepsis
Summary
This review covered the roles of gasdermin proteins in sepsis, examining how these pore-forming executors drive inflammatory cell death and cytokine release during the dynamic inflammatory and immune responses across different stages of the disease.
Sepsis is a hyper-heterogeneous syndrome in which the systemic inflammatory response persists throughout the course of the disease and the inflammatory and immune responses are dynamically altered at different pathogenic stages. Gasdermins (GSDMs) proteins are pore-forming executors in the membrane, subsequently mediating the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cell death. With the increasing research on GSDMs proteins and sepsis, it is believed that GSDMs protein are one of the most promising therapeutic targets in sepsis in the future. A more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the functions of GSDMs proteins in sepsis is important to alleviate the multi-organ dysfunction and reduce sepsis-induced mortality. In this review, we focus on the function of GSDMs proteins, the molecular mechanism of GSDMs involved in sepsis, and the regulatory mechanism of GSDMs-mediated signaling pathways, aiming to provide novel ideas and therapeutic strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Mechanism of Pyroptosis in Acute Liver Injury and Prospect of Targeted Therapy
This review examined the role of pyroptosis—an inflammatory form of programmed cell death—in acute liver injury, covering the gasdermin-mediated molecular mechanisms involved. The authors proposed that targeting pyroptosis pathways may offer new therapeutic strategies for conditions such as drug-induced liver injury and ischemia-reperfusion damage.
Gasdermin D-dependent macrophage pyroptosis mediates polystyrene microplastics-induced pulmonary fibrosis
Researchers demonstrated that chronic intranasal exposure to polystyrene microplastics in mice triggered a specific form of inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis in lung macrophages, leading to pulmonary fibrosis. The study identified the Gasdermin D protein as a key mediator of this process, suggesting a potential mechanistic pathway through which microplastic inhalation could contribute to lung tissue scarring.
The Anti-Oxidative, Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Apoptotic, and Anti-Necroptotic Role of Zinc in COVID-19 and Sepsis
This review summarizes zinc's multiple protective roles in the body, including its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and cell-death-regulating properties, with a focus on relevance to severe infections like sepsis. Researchers describe how zinc modulates key immune pathways and inhibits specific enzymes involved in programmed cell death. The study highlights zinc's potential as a supportive nutritional element in managing inflammatory conditions.
Nanomaterial-induced pyroptosis: a cell type-specific perspective
This review examined how various nanomaterials induce pyroptosis (inflammatory cell death) across different non-tumorous cell types, analyzing the diverse pathways and mechanisms involved. The review highlights significant knowledge gaps regarding less-studied pyroptosis pathways and calls for more systematic investigation of nanomaterial-cell interactions.
Gasdermin D Deficiency Does Not Protect Mice from High-Fat Diet-Induced Glucose Intolerance and Adipose Tissue Inflammation
Researchers tested whether gasdermin D (GSDMD), a mediator of pyroptotic cell death, plays a role in obesity-related metabolic disease by studying GSDMD-deficient mice on a high-fat diet. GSDMD deficiency did not protect mice from glucose intolerance or adipose tissue inflammation, suggesting GSDMD is not a primary driver of obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction.
