  2. Pyroptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroptosis

    Pyroptosis is a highly inflammatory form of lytic programmed cell death that occurs most frequently upon infection with intracellular pathogens and is likely to form part of the antimicrobial response. This process promotes the rapid clearance of various bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoan infections by removing intracellular replication ...

  3. Immunogenic cell death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunogenic_cell_death

    Pyroptosis is a distinct type of regulated cell death, exhibiting a necrotic morphology and cellular content spilling. [2] This type of cell death is induced most commonly in response to microbial pathogen infection, such as infection with Salmonella , Francisella , or Legionella .

  4. Caspase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspase

    Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death that inherently induces an immune response. It is morphologically distinct from other types of cell death – cells swell up, rupture and release pro-inflammatory cellular contents.

  5. Programmed cell death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_cell_death

    Pyroptosis, an inflammatory type of cell death, is uniquely mediated by caspase 1, an enzyme not involved in apoptosis, in response to infection by certain microorganisms. [ 22 ] Plant cells undergo particular processes of PCD similar to autophagic cell death.

  6. Cell death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_death

    Pyroptosis is a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that occurs most frequently upon infection with intracellular pathogens and is likely to form part of the antimicrobial response in myeloid cells. [3] PANoptosis is a unique inflammatory cell death pathway that integrates components from other cell death pathways. The totality of ...

  7. Caspase 11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspase_11

    Caspase-11 activation results in pyroptosis, a form of lytic cell death that releases inflammatory molecules such as ATP, HMGB1 and IL-1α from the cytosol. Inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18 are also often produced.

  8. Inflammasome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammasome

    The inflammasome was discovered by the team of Jürg Tschopp, at the University of Lausanne, in 2002. [17] [18] In 2002, it was first reported by Martinon et al. [17] that NLRP1 (NLR family PYD-containing 1) could assemble and oligomerize into a structure in vitro, which activated the caspase-1 cascade, thereby leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18.

  9. Paraptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraptosis

    Paraptosis is a form of type III programmed cell death with a unique combination of certain apoptotic and necrotic characteristics. Paraptosis does not demonstrate nuclear fragmentation, formation of apoptotic bodies, or definitive demonstration of chromatin condensation - all seen in apoptosis.
