    Mannose antagonizes GSDME-mediated pyroptosis through AMPK activated by metabolite GlcNAc-6P

    Pyroptosis is a type of regulated cell death executed by gasdermin family members. However, how gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis is negatively regulated remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that mannose, a hexos...

    The metabolite α-KG induces GSDMC-dependent pyroptosis through death receptor 6-activated caspase-8

    Pyroptosis is a form of regulated cell death mediated by gasdermin family members, among which the function of GSDMC has not been clearly described. Herein, we demonstrate that the metabolite α-ketoglutarate (...

    Tom20 senses iron-activated ROS signaling to promote melanoma cell pyroptosis 

    Iron has been shown to trigger oxidative stress by elevating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to participate in different modes of cell death, such as ferroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis. However, whether ...

    Impeding the interaction between Nur77 and p38 reduces LPS-induced inflammation

    The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 blocks inflammation through inhibition of p65 DNA binding and is suppressed by p38α-mediated phosphorylation. A small-molecule compound, PDNPA, disrupts p38α-Nur77 interaction...

    The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 regulates LKB1 localization and activates AMPK

    A small molecule that disrupts interaction between Nur77 and LKB1 leads to LKB1 exit from the nucleus to activate cytoplasmic AMPK and, ultimately, reduces blood glucose and insulin in diabetic mice. ...
