| metabolism | although both caspase-1 and caspase-11 can cleave gasdermin D in macrophages and neutrophils, NLRC4-activated caspase-1 triggers pyroptosis in macrophages, but this pathway does not trigger pyroptosis in neutrophils. In contrast, caspase-11 triggers pyroptosis in both macrophages and neutrophils. Cell fates are dictated not simply by the pathogen or inflammasome, but also by how the cell is wired to respond to detection events. In macrophages, caspase-1 is more efficient than caspase-11 at cleaving gasdermin D in response to Burkholderia thailandensis. Caspase-1 alone cannot clear Burkholderia thailandensis infection | Mus musculus |
| physiological function | macrophages detect Burkholderia thailandensis via NLRC4, triggering the release of interleukin (IL)-18 and driving an essential interferon (IFN)-gamma response that primes caspase-11. The neutrophil caspase-11 is essential to defend against the cytosol-invasive bacterium. Caspase-11 can cleave gasdermin D to cause pyroptosis, eliminating intracellular replication niches. The IFN-gamma-producing cells are a mixture of natural killer (NK) and T cells. In neutrophils, caspase-1 (EC 3.4.22.36) and caspase-11 activation lead to gasdermin D cleavage, but only caspase-11 activation leads to pyroptosis that is necessary for clearance of this cytosol-invasive pathogen in vivo. The caspase-11 inflammasome monitors for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contamination as a marker for the virulence trait of cytosolic invasion. Cellular detection mechanism, overview. Multiple lymphocyte populations respond to Burkholderia thailandensis infection.
