Molecular mechanisms and functions of pyroptosis in sepsis and sepsis-associated organ dysfunction

Abstract: Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, is a leading cause of death in intensive care units. The development of sepsis-associated organ dysfunction (SAOD) poses a threat to the survival of patients with sepsis. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis of sepsis and SAOD is complicated, multifactorial, and has not been completely clarified. Recently, numerous studies have demonstrated that pyroptosis, which is characterized by inflammasome and caspase activation … Show more

“…This results in various organ dysfunctions including cardiovascular, liver, pulmonary renal and brain impairments ( 2 ). As the latest sepsis guidelines suggest the impact of multiple organ dysfunction on the host, therefore, different types of cell death, including apoptosis ( 3 ), pyroptosis ( 4 ), and necroptosis ( 5 ) might be involved in sepsis.…”

“…Cysteine-requiring aspartate protease (caspase) is a protease family that plays an important role in programmed cell death (including apoptosis) [32]. The activity of caspase family members in caspase in the system will increase significantly in the course of apoptosis [33].…”

“…[4]Despite extensive research efforts, the precise mechanisms driving sepsis pathophysiology remain incompletely understood, hindering the development of effective therapeutic strategies. [5] Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs), formed through a process known as NETosis, have emerged as key players in the pathophysiology of sepsis. [6-8] NETs are web-like structures composed of chromatin bers and antimicrobial proteins released by neutrophils to ensnare and neutralize invading pathogens.…”
