Caspase-11 promotes allergic airway inflammation

Caspase 11 activation involves transcriptional upregulation and proteolytic cleavage. Here the authors show that prostaglandin E2 prevents caspase-11-mediated pyroptosis, blocking caspase-11 mRNA and protein upregulation in macrophages and in vivo, and that mice lacking caspase-11 are strongly prote...
