Pyroptosis
Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death associated with antimicrobial responses during inflammation. In contrast to apoptosis, pyroptosis requires the function of caspase-1, and has been studied in the context of salmonella-infected macrophages. The initiation of pyroptosis has been linked to the recognition of flagellin components of Salmonella and Shigella species by NOD-like receptors. These receptors function similarly to plasma membrane Toll-like receptors, but recognise intracytoplasmic antigens rather than extracellular antigens. Recently, it was shown that Caspase-1 is activated during pyroptosis by a large supramolecular complex termed the pyroptosome. Only one large pyroptosome is formed in each macrophage, within minutes after infection. Biochemical and Mass Spectroscopic analysis revealed that this pyroptosome is largely composed of dimers of the adaptor protein ASC. Unlike apoptosis, pyroptosis results in the release of pathogen associated molecular patterns and cytokines that activate pro-inflammatory immune cell mediators.
