ABSTRACT

Pyroptosis is a novel process of programmed inflammatory necrosis, which is closely related to microbial infections and autoimmune diseases. In recent years it has been proved that Gasdermin D is an executive protein of pyroptosis. Cleaved Gasdermin D leads to the formation of pores in cell membrane to induce pyroptosis, and the release of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β and IL-18 aggravates the occurrence of inflammatory responses. With the deepening of Gasdermin D research, it is gradually clear its protein structure and activation sites, which has other activation pathways apart from inducing inflammasome activation. Activation of Gasdermin D does not necessarily mean cell death, even if it could induce the formation of pores in cell membrane and regulation of inflammatory cytokine secretion. These findings offer insight into Gasdermin D function and change our understanding of pyroptosis and programmed necrosis. The recent progress of Gasdermin D is highlighted in this review.
