Gasdermin D mediates inflammation-induced defects in reverse cholesterol transport and promotes atherosclerosis
2021-04-16
Abstract excerpt
Activation of inflammasomes, such as Nlrp3 and Aim2, can exacerbate atherosclerosis in mice and humans. Gasdermin D (GsdmD) serves as a final executor of inflammasome activity, by generating membrane pores for the release of mature Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β). Inflammation dampens reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and promotes atherogenesis, while anti-IL-1β antibodies were shown to reduce cardiovascular disease i...
