Caspase-14 recognizes and processes IL-1β in epithelial cells to drive anti-bacterial IgG production
2026-04-15
Abstract excerpt
Caspases-mediated processing of cytokines coordinates cell-autonomous defenses and induction of systemic inflammation 1 . While caspase-1 processes IL-1β and IL-18 2–5 , human caspase-4 processes IL-18 mainly in monocytes 6 . Caspase-14 is an exception, specializing in epidermal differentiation 7,8 , yet no cytokine target has been firmly established for caspase-14. Here, we report that recognition and IL-1β m...
