Abstract
Pyroptosis is a newly discovered programmed cell death pathway that plays an essential role in the host's defense against pathogenic infections. This process is orchestrated by inflammasomes, which are intricate multiprotein complexes that orchestrate the activation of caspase and instigate the liberation of proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, gasdermin family proteins execute their role by forming pores in the cell membrane, ultimately leading to cell lysis. In recent years, pyroptosis has emerged as a promising target for disease management in fish, particularly in the context of infectious diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding regarding the role of pyroptosis in fish, focusing on its involvement in host-pathogen interactions and its potential as a therapeutic target. We also highlighted the latest advancements in the field development of pyroptosis inhibitors and their potential applications in fish disease management. Subsequently, we deliberate on the obstacles and future prospects for pyroptosis research in fish, emphasizing the necessity of conducting more comprehensive investigations to unravel the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing this process across diverse fish species and environmental contexts. Finally, this review will also highlight the current limitations and future perspectives of pyroptosis research in aquaculture.
