GSDME and its role in cancer: From behind the scenes to the front of the stage

Elke De Schutter et al.

Summary: GSDME, originally involved in hereditary hearing loss, has been associated with various cancers and may act as a tumor suppressor; differential methylation and gene expression patterns of GSDME are closely related to tumorigenesis and hold potential as detection and prognostic biomarkers in cancer; while GSDME protein expression is considered unsuitable as a biomarker, it still plays a role in tumor immunogenicity.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Josep M. Llovet et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses a significant global health challenge with rising incidence projected to exceed 1 million cases by 2025. Infection by hepatitis B and C viruses remains a major risk factor for HCC, while non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is emerging as a more common risk factor in Western countries. Advances in systemic therapies for HCC, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies, are expected to revolutionize the management of this disease.

Caspase 3/GSDME-dependent pyroptosis contributes to chemotherapy drug-induced nephrotoxicity

Xiujin Shen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of chemotherapeutic drugs cisplatin or doxorubicin on renal tubular epithelial cells, revealing that these drugs induce the cleavage of GSDME, leading to pyroptosis. By inhibiting GSDME, cell damage and inflammation caused by the drugs can be alleviated. The findings suggest that therapies targeting GSDME may be effective in reducing chemotherapeutic drug-induced nephrotoxicity.

Summary: The study revealed that breast cancer cells are more sensitive to inducers of ferroptosis such as Erastin and Rsl-3 due to their dependency on the xCT/GPX4 axis. This finding provides a strategic basis for targeting the anti-ferroptotic machinery of breast cancer cells based on their xCT status.

Necroptosis, pyroptosis and apoptosis: an intricate game of cell death

Damien Bertheloot et al.

Summary: Cell death is a fundamental physiological process in all living organisms, playing important roles in embryonic development, organ maintenance, aging, immune responses, and autoimmunity. Recent research has significantly increased our understanding of the mechanisms orchestrating different types of programmed cell death and how they affect the balance of cell fates. Various modalities of cell death, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, have been studied to highlight both common and unique pathways and their impact on the surrounding cells and the organism as a whole.

Gasdermin E permits interleukin-1 beta release in distinct sublytic and pyroptotic phases

Bowen Zhou et al.

Summary: Gasdermin E (GSDME) functions as an independent conduit for interleukin-1b (IL-1b) release in cellular inflammasome activation, regardless of its cell death ability. Our study reveals that both NLRP3 and NLRP1 inflammasomes depend on both gasdermins for IL-1b processing and release, apart from their ability to induce cell lysis.

Integrative Analysis of Neuregulin Family Members-Related Tumor Microenvironment for Predicting the Prognosis in Gliomas

Wei-jiang Zhao et al.

Summary: The study investigated the role of Neuregulin (NRG) family proteins in gliomas, focusing on their expression levels and prognostic value in LGG and GBM. Results showed that NRG1-4 were differentially expressed in gliomas compared to normal tissue, and were significantly associated with the tumor immune microenvironment and immune cell infiltration. Prognostic analysis indicated that NRG3 and NRG1 could potentially serve as independent biomarkers in LGG and GBM, respectively, with NRG1 showing correlation with drug response. These findings support the modulation of NRG signaling in the management of gliomas.

A novel defined pyroptosis-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of ovarian cancer

Ying Ye et al.

Summary: This study identified pyroptosis-related genes in ovarian cancer (OC) that may play important roles in tumor immunity and can be used to predict the prognosis of OCs. By dividing OC cases into subtypes based on the expression of these genes, different risk groups were identified with significant differences in survival possibilities. Additionally, immune-related genes were found to be enriched in high-risk groups, indicating a decreased immune status in these patients.

Prognostic Implication of a Novel Metabolism-Related Gene Signature in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Chaoyan Yuan et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel metabolism-related gene signature consisting of six genes was developed for prognostic evaluation in HCC patients. The gene signature showed good predictive capability and its mRNA expression levels were upregulated in HCC tissues. The risk score and tumor grade were independent risk factors for HCC, and a nomogram combining risk score and tumor stage provided higher reliability in predicting overall survival probability. Additionally, the metabolic and immune infiltration statuses were significantly different between the high-risk and low-risk groups.
