Abstract

A comprehensive view of the role of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy is presented in this study. Furthermore, mitigation of NLRP3 deficiency-induced pyroptosis confers cardioprotection against pressure overload through activation of TAK1, whereas this salutary effect is abolished by inhibition of TAK1 activity, highlighting a previously unrecognized reciprocally regulatory role of NLRP3-TAK1 governing inflammation-induced cell death and hypertrophic growth. Translationally, this study advocates strategies based on inflammation-induced cell death might be exploited therapeutically in other inflammatory and mechanical overload disorders, such as myocardial infarction andmitral regurgitation.
