Purpose: To investigate the effect of Aspirin Triggered-Resolvin D1 (AT-RvD1) as an anti-pyroptosis and anti-inflammatory agent on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute keratitis in Wistar rats.
Methods: Acute keratitis in rats were induced by LPS stromal injection. Inflammatory reaction was measured by clinical score and histological observations. The non-canonical pyroptosis, the role of AT-RvD1 and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) on non-canonical pyroptosis, were verified by quantification real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western-blot. Besides, Human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) primed with LPS, were stimulated with Nigericin, AT-RvD1 and necrosulfonamide (NSA), a Gasdermin-D (GSDMD) inhibitor separately. CCK-8 tests and flow cytometry were conducted to evaluate the cell viability and death ratio. And the marker of non-canonical pyroptosis were verified by Western blot.
Results: AT-RvD1 and DHA both alleviated the inflammation of rat cornea through inhibiting the expression of Caspase-11 and p30 which was triggered by LPS. Meanwhile, the activation of Caspase-4 and p30 were also significantly suppressed by AT-RvD1 in vitro, which is consistent with the results in rats.
Conclusions: The non-canonical pyroptosis signaling pathways played an important role in rats with acute keratitis. In addition, AT-RvD1 can exert as an anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the non-canonical pyroptosis. Hence, it may be a promising and safe agent in treating acute keratitis.

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.

Most of the pyroptosis inhibitors targeted Gasdermin D (GSDMD) are functioning by restraining GSDMD-N (p30) oligomerization. For the first time, this work discovered a pyroptosis inhibitor taking effect by degrading p30 and GSDMD. As the principal bioactive constituent in Erigeron breviscapus, scutellarin (SCU) assumes a pivotal role in the realm of anti-inflammatory processes.

Macrophages express pattern recognition and cytokine receptors that mediate proinflammatory signal transduction pathways to combat microbial infection. To retaliate against such responses, pathogenic microorganisms have evolved multiple strategies to impede innate immune signaling. Recent studies demonstrated that YopJ suppression of TAK1 signaling during Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection promotes the assembly of a RIPK1-dependent death-inducing complex that enables caspase-8 to directly cleave and activate gasdermin D (GSDMD).

: Pyroptosis, an inflammatory cell death, is involved in the progression of atherosclerosis. Pyroptosis in endothelial cells (ECs) and its underlying mechanisms in atherosclerosis are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of a caspase-4/5-NF-κB pathway in pyroptosis in palmitic acid (PA)-stimulated ECs and EVs as players in pyroptosis.

Pyroptosis, also known as inflammatory necrosis, is a form of programmed cell death characterized by the activation of gasdermin proteins, leading to the formation of pores in the cell membrane, continuous cell swelling, and eventual membrane rupture. This process results in the release of intracellular contents, including pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-18, which subsequently trigger a robust inflammatory response. This process is a crucial component of the body's innate immune response and plays a significant role in combating infections.
