NLRP11 promotes non-canonical inflammasome activation in human macrophages by enhancing caspase-4 recognition of cytosolic lipopolysaccharide
2026-02-04
Abstract excerpt
Innate immune detection of Gram-negative bacteria depends on sensing of cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (cLPS) by the non-canonical inflammasome, mediated in humans by NLRP11 and caspase-4 (CASP4). Activation of this pathway in human macrophages triggers gasdermin-D activation and pyroptotic cell death. Although CASP4 directly binds LPS in vitro, additional host factors are required for efficient activation in vivo....
