| malfunction | the increase in pyroptosis-related protein expression induced by LPS is attenuated with caspase-11 knockout, both in vitro and in vivo. Comparison of pyroptotic cell death of tubular epithelial cells in renal tissue of wild-type mice and caspase-11-/- mice after an LPS challenge. Knockout of caspase-11 improves animal survival after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Knockout of caspase-11 results in decreased expression of mature IL-1beta in kidney tissue following endotoxemia. Similarly, serum IL-1beta levels are also significantly lower in caspase-11-/- mice than in control mice after LPS challenge | Mus musculus |
| physiological function | caspase-11 mediates pyroptosis of tubular epithelial cells and septic acute kidney injury. Caspase-11 induces pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death that plays a critical role in endotoxic shock. LPS-induced sepsis results in lytic death of RTECs, accompanied by increased expression of the pyroptosis-related proteins caspase-11 and Gsdmd. Caspase-11 activation is required for generation of mature IL-1beta and Gsdmd in endotoxic acute kidney injury (AKI), mechanisms by which caspase-11 activation induces AKI, overview | Mus musculus |
