Immunopharmacology Comments
Recognition of cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by Inflammatory caspases including caspases-4 and -5 leads to pyroptosis and secretion of inflammatory mediators [3-4]. The caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD) of caspase-4 recognises the lipid A moiety of LPS. Activation of caspase-4 results in pyroptosis, and induction of NLRP3 inflammasome activation which promotes IL-1β and IL-18 maturation and secretion.
