Objective To summarize the research advances of pyroptosis in hepatic ischamia-reperfusion injury (IRI).Method The literatures about the studies of mechanism of pyroptosis in hepatic IRI were retrieved and analyzed.Results Pyroptosis, also known as inflammatory necrocytosis, was proven to play an important role in the hepatic IRI. When hepatic ischemia-reperfusion occurred, the classical pathway of pyroptosis dependenting on caspase-1 and the non-classical pathway of pyroptosis dependenting on caspase-11 were initiated by specific stimulants, and leaded to the activation of gasdermin D, releases of proinflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-18, etc., and the recruitment and activation of neutrophils. Consequently, pyroptosis caused more severe hepatic inflammation and aggravated existing cell injury and dysfunction of liver during hepatic IRI.Conclusions Pyroptosis plays an important role in liver IRI. Further researches about mechanism of pyroptosis will be beneficial to the prevention and treatment of the pyroptosis of related diseases.
