AbstractPyroptosis is an inflammatory form of programmed cell death that is distinct from necrosis and apoptosis. Pyroptosis is primarily mediated by the gasdermin family of proteins (GSDMA‐E and PVJK), which, when activated by proteolytic cleavage, form pores in the plasma membrane, leading to cell death. While much of the past research on pyroptosis has focused on its role in cancer, metabolic disorders, and infectious diseases, recent experimental and observational studies have begun to implicate pyroptosis in allergic diseases. These studies suggest that gasdermin‐mediated pyroptosis contributes to the development of allergic conditions and could offer novel targets for therapy. Here, we review our current understanding of pyroptosis with an emphasis on the role of gasdermins as executioners of pyroptosis and potential mediators to allergic disease. We highlight new discoveries that establish a mechanistic link between the biochemical actions of gasdermins and the onset of allergic diseases. Additionally, we discuss how pyroptosis and gasdermins might contribute to the dysfunction of epithelial barrier, a key factor believed to initiate the progression of various allergic diseases.
