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. Additionally, potential therapeutic implications targeting for are highlighted future consideration.
