Multiple research groups have demonstrated that caspase-8 (CASP8)-mediated gasdermin D (GSDMD) cleavage drives pyroptotic cell death. Here, we discuss a novel role for the enzymatically inactive homolog of CASP8, the long isoform of cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP), in the regulation of this process. Specifically, cFLIP-deficiency provides a model in which to study the mechanisms regulating CASP8-mediated activation of cell death and inflammatory signaling.
多个研究小组已经证明,半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-8(CASP8)介导的 Gasdermin D(GSDMD)裂解驱动细胞焦亡。在这里,我们讨论了 CASP8 的无酶活性同源物,即细胞型 Fas 相关死亡域抑制蛋白(cFLIP)的长亚型在调节这一过程中的新作用。具体来说,cFLIP 缺陷提供了一个模型,可以用来研究调节 CASP8 介导的细胞死亡和炎症信号激活的机制。
