Abstract

Significance: Here we demonstrate that Yersinia YopJ-induced murine macrophage death involves caspase-8–induced cleavage of both gasdermin D (GSDMD) and gasdermin E (GSDME). The ensuing cell death is rapid, morphologically is similar to pyroptosis, and induces IL-1 release. Recently, both GSDMD and GSDME were reported to be critical effectors of caspase-1/11–driven pyroptosis and caspase-3–dependent secondary necrosis, which prompted the redefinition of pyroptosis as cell death-mediated by gasdermin activation. Our work extends these studies and shows that activation of caspase-8 in the context of TAK1 inhibition results in cleavage of both GSDMD and GSDME, leading to pyroptotic-like cell death. Further study will be needed to determine whether caspase-8 cleaves GSDMD directly or via intermediate substrates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
