ERRα promotes glycolytic metabolism and targets the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway to regulate pyroptosis in endometrial cancer by Pingping Su, Xiaodan Mao, Jincheng Ma, Lixiang Huang, Lirui Yu, Shuting Tang, Mingzhi Zhuang, Zhonglei Lu, Kelvin Stefan Osafo, Yuan Ren, Xinrui Wang, Xite Lin, Leyi Huang, Xiaoli Huang, Elena Ioana Braicu, Jalid Sehouli, Pengming Sun

“…Results Triggered by a hypoxic microenvironment, highly expressed ERRα could bind to the promoter of NLRP3 and inhibit caspase-1/GSDMD signaling, which reduced inflammasome activation and increased pyroptosis resistance, thereby resulting in the resistance of cancer cells to cisplatin. Moreover, ERRα activated glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme to bridge glycolytic metabolism and pyroptosis in EC. …”
