Pyroptosis, a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, affects endotoxin tolerance in macrophages. However, the factors acting on the nod-like receptor 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasome and caspase1 activation to impede pyroptosis and resulting in tolerance and survival in sepsis were needed to discovered. Here, we found that signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5a) restrains pyroptosis in Kupffer cells (KCs) and induces endotoxin tolerance (ET) in a sepsis model. The lentiviral knockdown of STAT5a led to enhanced pyroptosis in KCs, increase
