Summary

It is shown that GSDME, which was originally identified as DFNA5 (deafness, autosomal dominant 5), can switch caspase-3-mediated apoptosis induced by TNF or chemotherapy drugs to pyroptosis, suggesting that casp enzyme activation can trigger necrosis by cleaving G SDME and offer new insights into cancer chemotherapy.
