Abstract
Pyroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death mediated by cleavage of Gasdermin family proteins by activated caspases, which plays an important role in the control of acute and chronic diseases. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease with varying degrees of airflow obstruction. The airway epithelial barrier plays an important role in initiating host defenses and controlling immune responses. Accumulating evidence suggests that pyroptosis is involved in the impairment of airway epithelial barrier function and abnormal immune regulation in asthma. This article aims to review the latest regulatory mechanism of pyroptosis involved in airway epithelial barrier injury in asthma under various environmental exposure factors, and to provide a new method for targeted therapy of asthma.
