Abstract

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity contributes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other smoking-related lung disease. Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), and gasdermin E (GSDME) are key proteins responsible for the initiation of pyroptosis. We hypothesize Cd induces host immune and inflammatory cell death in a macrophage model (RAW 264.7).
