Gasdermin family: a promising therapeutic target for cancers and inflammation-driven diseases.

ABSTRACT: This review focuses on current advances in researches of gasdermin family. The distinctive expression patterns and biological roles of members in this family were discussed. Most of them exhibit pore-forming activity on cell membranes and are executors for programmed cell death with cytokines release, and play roles in cancers and inflammation-driven diseases. Therefore, they can be used as potential therapeutic targets to treat related diseases.
