Pannexin-1-dependent caspase-1 activation and secretion of IL-1beta is regulated by zincDavid Brough
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Eur J Immunol 39:352-8. 2009..These data provide new insights into the mechanisms of caspase-1 activation and how zinc metabolism contributes to inflammatory mechanisms...
P2X(7) receptor-mediated release of cathepsins from macrophages is a cytokine-independent mechanism potentially involved in joint diseasesGloria Lopez-Castejon
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom
J Immunol 185:2611-9. 2010..Our results suggest P2X(7)R activation may play a novel and direct role in tissue damage through release of cathepsins independently of its proinflammatory actions via IL-1 cytokines...

Cell Mol Life Sci 68:3095-107. 2011..Therefore, our study reveals an additional level of plasticity modulating the resolution of inflammation...
Current status of inflammasome blockers as anti-inflammatory drugsGloria Lopez-Castejon
University of Manchester, Faculty of Life Science, AV Hill Building, 2 021, Manchester, M13 9PT, UK
Expert Opin Investig Drugs 21:995-1007. 2012..Major developments in this area will include the identification of reliable high-throughput screening methods for compounds directly targeting inflammasome assembly...
P2X7 receptor differentially couples to distinct release pathways for IL-1beta in mouse macrophagePablo Pelegrin
Faculty of Life Science, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom
J Immunol 180:7147-57. 2008..None of these release responses were associated with cell damage or cytolytic effects. This provides the first direct demonstration of a distinct signaling mechanism responsible for ATP-induced release of pro-IL-1beta...
Facilitation of P2X7 receptor currents and membrane blebbing via constitutive and dynamic calmodulin bindingSebastien Roger
Faculty of Life Science, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PT, United Kingdom
J Neurosci 28:6393-401. 2008..This is the first example of CaM deregulating, rather than tightly controlling, calcium entry through an ion channel...

Faculty of Life Science, University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PT, UK
Purinergic Signal 5:129-37. 2009..Thus, pannexin-1 is linked to both dye uptake and IL-1beta release but via distinct mechanisms...
