Gasdermin E couples mitochondrial damage to pyroptotic neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease
2025-12-16
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease (PD) features progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons, but how mitochondrial damage engages programmed cell death pathways remains unresolved. Here, we identify gasdermin E (GSDME), the caspase-3-activated executor of pyroptosis, as a critical mediator of neurodegeneration in toxin-based PD models. In primary neurons and SH-SY5Y cells, the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor MPTP/MPP⁺...
