Ever wondered why there is so little #microscopy of #GSDMD pores? Check out how Lisa Schiffelers used #Nanobodies to stabilize monomeric GSDMD in the plasma membrane, to dissect the steps of pore formation, and to develop some new ideas for therapy. nature.com/articles/s4146…

How could we identify key genes involved in any biological process and cell type? Please read on about Nuclear In-Situ Sequencing (NIS-Seq) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Epic effort from Flo & first author Lisa Schiffelers of @FISchmidtLab . Antagonistic camelid #nanobodies are small enough to traverse early #GSDMD pores to inhibit further #pore #formation. Monomers target the membrane, suggesting #monomer to #oligomer transition on #membrane.

We think the antagonistic GSDMD #nanobodies enter cells when the first #GSDMD pores form. They prevent any further pore formation and thus -in combination with cellular repair mechanism- prevent cell death by pyroptosis. We are looking forward to test this concept in vivo ...

As #nanobodies enter pyroptotic cells (left), Lisa also tested if recombinant #nanobodies prevent pyroptosis when added to the medium during #inflammasome activation (right). They do!

We learn: 1. The plasma membrane is the first #GSDMD target membrane, 2. Cleavage of #GSDMD is sufficient to allow membrane insertion (no prepore required), and 3. #GSDMD pores are rapidly removed as soon as pores form.

As cells no longer die by #pyroptosis, stabilized, endogenous #GSDMD in the plasma membrane can even stained with antibodies for cleaved GSDMD.

Surprisingly, expression of antagonistic #GSDMD #nanobodies stabilized monomeric GSDMD NTD-mNeonGreen in the plasma membrane.

We had previously tried to use a cool tool from @inflammgenetics to visualize #GSDMD pores in living cells (mNeonGreen remains with the #GSDMD NT), but mostly found GSDMD in intracellular structures ...
