Gasdermin-D pores induce an inactivating caspase-4 cleavage that limits IL-18 production in the intestinal epithelium

Abstract Intestinal epithelial-derived IL-18 is critical for homeostatic intestinal barrier function and is secreted through Gasdermin D (GSDMD) pores. Inflammasome activation is a prerequisite for both IL-18 maturation and GSDMD pore formation. However, GSDMD pores also cause pyroptotic cell death,...
