AI Article Synopsis
- Macrophages play a crucial role in the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), particularly through their interactions with other cells.
- Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is identified as a key protein in the inflammatory cell death process known as pyroptosis, mainly expressed in aortic macrophages during AAA development.
- The research suggests that targeting GSDMD could be a promising new treatment strategy for AAA, as it influences cytokine secretion and the inflammatory responses of macrophages and smooth muscle cells.
Article Abstract
Macrophage is a vital factor in determining the fate of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The crosstalk between macrophage and other cells plays a crucial role in the development of aneurysm. Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is a vital executive protein of pyroptosis, which is a novel programmed cell death associated with inflammation. In this study, we identified aortic macrophage as the main expressing cell of GSDMD in AAA. Using GsdmdApoE mouse and AAV-F4/80-shGSDMD, we demonstrated the potential role of macrophage-derived GSDMD in AAA and aortic pyroptosis induced by Ang II in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that GSDMD promotes the pyroptosis of mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs), murine aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (MOVAS) and primary smooth muscle cells. Mechanistically, a mouse cytokine antibody array showed that Gsdmd inhibited LPS + nigericin (LN)- induced secretion of multiple cytokines from MPMs. Furthermore, GSDMD is involved in the crosstalk between MPMs and MOVAS via cytokine secretion. This study provides a novel fundamental insight into macrophage-derived GSDMD in AAA and showed that GSDMD could be a promising therapeutic target for AAA.

Background: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) play a predominant role in acute lung injury (ALI). However, the role of macrophage-derived exosomal miRNAs in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI has not been determined.
Methods: We previously reported that exosomes in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice with ALI were derived predominantly from macrophages.

Background: Macrophages play a crucial role in atherosclerotic plaque formation, and the death of macrophages is a vital factor in determining the fate of atherosclerosis. GSDMD (gasdermin D)-mediated pyroptosis is a programmed cell death, characterized by membrane pore formation and inflammatory factor release.
Methods: and mice, bone marrow transplantation, and AAV (adeno-associated virus serotype 9)-F4/80-shGSDMD (shRNA-GSDMD) were used to examine the effect of macrophage-derived GSDMD on atherosclerosis.

Sepsis, critical condition marked by severe organ dysfunction from uncontrolled infection, involves the endothelium significantly. Macrophages, through paracrine actions, play a vital role in sepsis, but their mechanisms in sepsis pathogenesis remain elusive. Objective: We aimed to explore how macrophage-derived exosomes with low miR-141 expression promote pyroptosis in endothelial cells (ECs).
