GSDMD and Sepsis: It is known that proteolytic cleavage of GSDMD by caspase members including caspase-1 is a crucial step for executing pyroptosis in LPS-activated innate immune and endothelial cells and that cleaved GSDMD can stimulate NLRP3-modulated caspase-1 activation of through an intrinsic pathway [24] Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis of PBMCs was unveiled to be able to predict the progression of sepsis in patients with severe trauma [25].
