Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used in cell-based therapies for a variety of disorders. Some factors such as inflammatory mediators in the diseased area might damage the survival of MSCs and affect their efficacy. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed necrosis as a response for immune cells to cytosolic pathogenic stimuli. Whether MSCs develop pyroptosis under pathological stimulation, its underlying mechanism and biological significance are still unclear. Here, we found that LPS, flagellin, dsDNA, nigericin (NIG), or LPS combined with nigericin (LPS/NIG) could not induce pyroptosis in adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). However, when applied the culture media collected from LPS/NIG-induced pyroptotic bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to incubate ASCs, ASCs developed pyroptosis. Inhibition of caspases or deletion of Caspase-1/11 in ASCs did not affect the pyroptotic macrophage media-triggered ASC pyroptosis while ablation of Caspase-1/11 abolished BMDM pyroptosis induced by LPS/NIG. Media collected from LPS/NIG stimulated Gsdmd or Caspase-1/11 BMDMs could not induce pyroptosis of ASCs. In addition, RNA-seq analysis showed that interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes were upregulated in pyroptotic ASCs. Adding IFNβ could boost LPS/NIG stimulated BMDM media-induced ASC pyroptosis. Surprisingly, the pyroptotic ASCs had a lower bactericidal ability to P. Aeruginosa. Taken together, induction of ASC pyroptosis requires gasdermin D or caspase-1/11-dependent mediators and IFNβ from pyroptotic macrophages.

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) results from prolonged exposure to intense noise, causing damage to sensory outer hair cells (OHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). The blood labyrinth barrier (BLB) hinders systemic drug delivery to the inner ear. This study applied a retro-auricular round window membrane (RWM) method to bypass the BLB, enabling the transport of macromolecular proteins into the inner ear.

Ischemic stroke, caused by blocked cerebral blood flow, requires prompt intervention to prevent severe motor and cognitive impairments. Despite extensive drug development efforts, the failure rate of clinical trials remains high, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of a natural herbal extract mixture of Bunge (AM) and Georgi (SB), traditionally used in Eastern Asian herbal medicine (EAHM) for ischemic stroke treatment.

Electronic address:

Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy is a clinical concern in diabetic nephropathy, and without effective therapeutic approaches. Massive evidence has demonstrated that dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor can relieve diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting glucose re-absorption or podocyte pyroptosis. Nevertheless, whether dapagliflozin could treat skeletal muscle atrophy or the potential protection mechanism in diabetic nephropathy mice is unclear.
