Abstract
Gasdermin D (GSDMD) has garnered significant attention primarily for the pore-forming role of its p30 N-terminal fragment (NT-p30) generated during pyroptosis, a proinflammatory form of cell death. However, emerging evidence suggests that the formation of GSDMD-NT pores is reversible, and the activation of GSDMD does not necessarily lead to pyroptosis. Instead, this process may take part either in other forms of cell death, or in various state changes of living cells, including (i) inflammation regulation, (ii) endolysosomal pathway rewiring, (iii) granule exocytosis, (iv) type II immunity, (v) food tolerance maintenance, and (vi) temporary permeability alteration. This review explores the latest insights into the involvement of GSDMD in cell death and homeostasis maintenance, aiming to underscore the pleiotropic nature of GSDMD.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Cell Biology stands as a prominent review journal in molecular and cell biology. Monthly review articles track the current breadth and depth of research in cell biology, reporting on emerging developments and integrating various methods, disciplines, and principles. Beyond Reviews, the journal features Opinion articles that follow trends, offer innovative ideas, and provide insights into the implications of new developments, suggesting future directions. All articles are commissioned from leading scientists and undergo rigorous peer-review to ensure balance and accuracy.
