Abstract
The gasdermin family of proteins are central effectors of the inflammatory, lytic cell death modality known as pyroptosis. Characterized in 2015, the most well-studied member gasdermin D can be proteolyzed, typically by caspases, to generate an active pore-forming N-terminal domain. At least well-studied three pharmacological inhibitors (necrosulfonamide, disulfiram, dimethyl fumarate) since 2018 have been shown to affect gasdermin D activity either through modulation of processing or interference with pore formation. A multitude of murine in vivo studies have since followed. Here, we discuss the current state of research surrounding these three inhibitors, caveats to their use, and a set of guiding principles that researchers should consider when pursuing further studies of gasdermin D inhibition.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Immunology is a specialized review journal that serves as a valuable resource for scientists in the field of immunology. The journal's approach is thematic, with each issue dedicated to a specific topic of significant interest to immunologists. It covers a wide range of research areas, from the molecular and cellular foundations of the immune response to the potential for its manipulation, highlighting recent advancements in these areas.
Each thematic issue is curated by a guest editor, who is recognized as an expert in the field internationally. The content of each issue typically includes six to eight authoritative invited reviews, which delve into various aspects of the chosen topic. The goal of these reviews is to provide a comprehensive, coherent, and engaging overview of the subject matter, ensuring that the information is presented in a timely manner to maintain its relevance.
The journal's commitment to quality and timeliness is further supported by its inclusion in the Scopus database, which is a leading abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Being indexed in Scopus helps to ensure that the journal's content is accessible to a broad audience of researchers and professionals in immunology and related fields.
