Caspase inhibition restores collagen Iα1 and fibronectin release in cigarette smoke extract-exposed human lung fibroblasts
La Mensa A, Buscetta M, Woldhuis R, Cimino M, Giuffre M, Cristaldi M, et al.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol . 2025 Jan; 328(2):L239-L252. PMID: 39772929
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by obstructed airflow, airway remodeling, and inflammation, with cigarette smoke (CS) exposure being the main risk factor. Although CS...

Release of IL-1β and IL-18 in human primary bronchial epithelial cells exposed to cigarette smoke is independent of NLRP3
Dino P, Giuffre M, Buscetta M, Di Vincenzo S, La Mensa A, Cristaldi M, et al.
Eur J Immunol . 2024 Jul; 54(10):e2451053. PMID: 39072707
Cigarette smoke (CS) is a major risk factor for chronic lung diseases and promotes activation of pattern recognition receptors in the bronchial epithelium. NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3)...

Caspase-8 activation by cigarette smoke induces pro-inflammatory cell death of human macrophages exposed to lipopolysaccharide
Cristaldi M, Buscetta M, Cimino M, La Mensa A, Giuffre M, Fiore L, et al.
Cell Death Dis . 2023 Nov; 14(11):773. PMID: 38007509
Cigarette smoking impairs the lung innate immune response making smokers more susceptible to infections and severe symptoms. Dysregulation of cell death is emerging as a key player in chronic inflammatory...

Cigarette smoke promotes inflammasome-independent activation of caspase-1 and -4 leading to gasdermin D cleavage in human macrophages
Buscetta M, Cristaldi M, Cimino M, La Mensa A, Dino P, Bucchieri F, et al.
FASEB J . 2022 Aug; 36(9):e22525. PMID: 36004615
Mechanisms and consequences of gasdermin D (GSDMD) activation in cigarette smoke (CS)-associated inflammation and lung disease are unknown. GSDMD is a downstream effector of caspase-1, -8, and -4. Upon cleavage,...

Hfq-Assisted RsmA Regulation Is Central to Biofilm Polysaccharide PEL Expression
Irie Y, La Mensa A, Murina V, Hauryliuk V, Tenson T, Shingler V
Front Microbiol . 2020 Dec; 11:482585. PMID: 33281751
To appropriately switch between sessile and motile lifestyles, bacteria control expression of biofilm-associated genes through multiple regulatory elements. In , the post-transcriptional regulator RsmA has been implicated in the control...

Genetic Profiles and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Infantis Strains Isolated in Italy in the Food Chain of Broiler Meat Production
Casagrande Proietti P, Stefanetti V, Musa L, Zicavo A, Dionisi A, Bellucci S, et al.
Antibiotics (Basel) . 2020 Nov; 9(11). PMID: 33207568
This work aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of 87 Infantis strains isolated in Italy from 2016 to 2019 along the food chain of broiler meat production and in humans...

Studies of Persister Cells
Kaldalu N, Hauryliuk V, Turnbull K, La Mensa A, Putrins M, Tenson T
Microbiol Mol Biol Rev . 2020 Nov; 84(4). PMID: 33177189
Many bacterial pathogens can permanently colonize their host and establish either chronic or recurrent infections that the immune system and antimicrobial therapies fail to eradicate. Antibiotic persisters (persister cells) are...
