Caspase‐4 mediates non‐canonical activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in human myeloid cells

Abstract excerpt

Inflammasome activation culminates in activation of caspase-1, which leads to the maturation and subsequent release of cytokines of the interleukin 1 (IL-1) family and results in a particular form of cell death known as pyroptosis. In addition, in the murine system, a so-called non-canonical inflammasome involving caspase-11 has been described that directly responds to cytosolic LPS. Here, we show that the human...
