Popis: The gasdermins (GSDM), a family of pore-forming proteins, consist of gasdermin A (GSDMA), gasdermin B (GSDMB), gasdermin C (GSDMC), gasdermin D (GSDMD), gasdermin E (GSDME) and DFNB59 (Pejvakin (PJVK)) in humans. These proteins play an important role in pyroptosis. Among them, GSDMD is the most extensively studied protein and is identified as the executioner of pyroptosis. Other family members have also been implicated in certain cancers. As a unique form of programmed cell death, pyroptosis is closely related to tumor progression, and the inflammasome, an innate immune mechanism that induces inflammation and pyroptosis. In this review, we explore the current developments of pyroptosis, the inflammasome, and especially we review the gasdermin family members and their role in inducing pyroptosis and the possible therapeutic values in antitumor effects.
