Pyroptosis, as a lytic-inflammatory type of programmed cell death, has garnered considerable attention due to its role in cancer chemotherapy and many inflammatory diseases. This review will discuss the biochemical classification of pyroptotic inducers according to their chemical structure, pyroptotic mechanism, and cancer type of these targets. A structure-activity relationship study on pyroptotic inducers is revealed based on the surveyed pyroptotic inducer chemotherapeutics. The shared features in the chemical structures of current pyroptotic inducer agents were displayed, including an essential cyclic head, a vital linker, and a hydrophilic tail that is significant for π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding. The presented structural features will open the way to design new hybridized classes or scaffolds as potent pyroptotic inducers in the future, which may represent a solution to the apoptotic-resistance dilemma along with synergistic chemotherapeutic advantage.

Background: Cisplatin is an effective anti-cancer drug with limited clinical applications due to ototoxicity. Resveratrol, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has been reported to mitigate these adverse effects, although the underlying mechanism remains under-researched.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of resveratrol on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.

Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a leading cause of low back pain, often linked to inflammation and pyroptosis in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. The role of Periostin (POSTN) in IDD remains unclear.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the influence of POSTN on pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in NP cells during IDD.

Microglia respond to cytotoxic protein aggregates associated with the progression of neurodegenerative disease. Pathological protein aggregates activate the microglial NLRP3 inflammasome resulting in proinflammatory signaling, secretion, and potentially pyroptotic cell death. We characterized mixed sex primary mouse microglia exposed to microbial stressors and alpha synuclein preformed fibrils (αsyn PFFs) to identify cellular mechanisms related to Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: Pyroptosis represents a mode of programmed necrotic cell death (PCD), mediated by members of gasdermin family (GSDMs), such as GSDME. It is emerging as a promising approach for combating cancer. Notably, GSDME is the key modulator for the switch between apoptosis and pyroptosis in cells.

Objective: Cell dysfunction and death induced by lung ischaemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) are the main causes of death in transplant patients. Activation of the cGAS-STING-induced immune response and death plays a critical role in multiple organ injuries. However, no study has yet investigated the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in LIRI after lung transplantation.
