Red blood cells undergo lytic programmed cell death involving NLRP3
Cell, May 2025
Highlights
• Complement activation induces a programmed death of RBCs, termed spectosis
• Assembly of miniNLRP3-ASC complex elicits caspase-8 maturation in RBCs
• Activated caspase-8 initiates β-spectrin proteolysis, causing hemolysis
• Suppressing miniNLRP3-signal-mediated β-spectrin breakdown alleviates hemolysis
