Poly-l-lysine-caused cell adhesion induces pyroptosis in THP-1 monocytes

Pyroptosis is a kind of cell necrosis mediated by inflammasomes. The caspase 1-induced cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) is a canonical pathway to cause membrane pores and eventually cell pyroptosis. Poly-l-lysine (PLL) is widely used to enhance cell adhesion during experiments. Human THP-1 cells are...
