Pyroptosis, a newly identified form of programmed cell death intertwined with inflammatory responses, is facilitated by the Gasdermin family's pore-forming activity, leading to lysis and release pro-inflammatory cytokines. This process double-edged sword in innate immunity, offering protection against pathogens while risking excessive inflammation tissue damage when dysregulated. Specifically, pyroptosis operates through two distinct signaling pathways, namely Caspase-1 pathway Caspase-4/5/11 pathway. In context chronic liver diseases like fibrosis cirrhosis, emerges as central contributing factor their pathogenesis. The identification characterized activation immune cells secretion cytokines such IL-1α, IL-1β, TNF-α. review explores interrelationship between inflammasome, protein complex located that recognizes danger signals initiates activation, resulting IL-1β IL-18. article delves into influence inflammasome on various disorders, specific focus molecular pathophysiological mechanisms.

Background: Cuproptosis is a newly defined form of cell death, whether cuproptosis involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. Method: We obtained patients’ RNA expression data and follow-up information from University California Santa Cruz (UCSC) The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). analyzed the mRNA level Cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) performed univariate Cox analysis. Liver (LIHC) was chosen for further investigation. Real-Time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blotting (WB), Immunohistochemical (IHC), Transwell assays were used to determine patterns functions CRGs LIHC. Next, we identified CRGs-related lncRNAs (CRLs) differentially expressed CRLs between HCC normal cases.
