Abstract

In the first funding phase, we identified inhibitory GSDMD nanobodies that block GSDMD oligomerization, pore formation, pyroptosis, and cytokine secretion when expressed in the cytosol. Antagonistic nanobodies revealed both molecular insights into the mechanism of GSDMD pore formation, and offered an unexpected therapeutic angle to counteract GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. In the second funding period, we will apply nanobodies to study pore formation by GSDMA and GSDME.
