"USP18 enhances the autophagic degradation of GSDMD."

reach
"USP18 down-regulates the protein abundance of GSDMD, thereby inhibiting the activation of GSDMD and pyroptosis (Fig. 7)."

reach
"Accordingly, overexpression of USP18 decreases the GSDMD protein levels and LPS-triggered inflammation in vivo."

reach
"These findings indicate that the degradation of GSDMD induced by USP18 predominantly occurs through the autolysosome pathway rather than the proteasome pathway."

reach
"Moreover, USP18 was found to enhance the degradation of GSDMD induced by EBSS (Fig. S2K and L)."

reach
"Additionally, we found that the degradation of GSDMD triggered by USP18 was almost completely abolished in BECN1- or ATG5-KO cells (Fig. 2M and N)."

reach
"Additionally, single knockdown of SQSTM1/p62, OPTN, or CALCOCO2/NDP52 could not completely block USP18-mediated GSDMD degradation, while USP18 failed to increase the degradation of GSDMD in triple knockdown cells (Fig. 2Q and Fig. S2U)."

reach
"Collectively, these findings suggest that USP18 promotes GSDMD degradation through ubiquitination of GSDMD at K168, thereby impairing its subsequent pyroptosis."

reach
"To examine the potential role of MIB2 in regulating USP18-mediated GSDMD ubiquitination and degradation, we performed siRNA-mediated knockdown of MIB2 in HEK293T cells, and observed that MIB2 knockdown resulted in the abrogation of USP18-mediated ubiquitination of GSDMD (Fig. 5A and B) as well as USP18-mediated GSDMD degradation (Fig. 5C and D)."

reach
"USP18 depletion induces both GSDMD and GSDME-dependent pyroptosis upon IFN treatment."

reach
"Depletion of USP18 induced GSDMD and GSDME cleavage, both markers of pyroptosis, upon IFN treatment."
