Immunity against Moraxella catarrhalis requires guanylate-binding proteins and caspase-11-NLRP3 inflammasomes.

ABSTRACT: Moraxella catarrhalis is an important human respiratory pathogen and a major causative agent of otitis media and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Toll-like receptors contribute to, but cannot fully account for, the complexity of the immune response seen in M. catarrhalis infection. Using primary mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages to examine the host response to M. catarrhalis infection, our global transcriptomic and targeted cytokine analyses revealed activation of immune signalling pathways by both membrane-bound and cytosolic pattern-recognition receptors. We show that M. catarrhalis and its outer membrane vesicles or lipooligosaccharide (LOS) can activate the cytosolic innate immune sensor caspase-4/11, gasdermin-D-dependent pyroptosis, and the NLRP3 inflammasome in human and mouse macrophages. This pathway is initiated by type I interferon signalling and guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs). We also show that inflammasomes and GBPs, particularly GBP2, are required for the host defence against M. catarrhalis in mice. Overall, our results reveal an essential role for the interferon-inflammasome axis in cytosolic recognition and immunity against M. catarrhalis, providing new molecular targets that may be used to mitigate pathological inflammation triggered by this pathogen.

Project description:To investigate the effects of long intergenic noncoding RNA-erythroid prosurvival (lincRNA-EPS) on periodontal inflammation mediated by inflammasomes and to explore its mechanism. Experimental periodontitis was induced in KO (lincRNA-EPS-/- ) and WT (lincRNA-EPS+/+ ) mice to compare the periodontal bone loss and inflammation by using micro-computed tomography, immunofluorescence staining and haematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression and activation of cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-11 (caspase-11) and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes, as well as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation in mouse gingival fibroblasts (MGFs), were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent and lactate dehydrogenase assays. MGFs were transfected with overexpression plasmids to assess the biological functions of lincRNA-EPS. RNA pull-down and immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to identify the interacting protein of lincRNA-EPS. LincRNA-EPS-expressing lentivirus was locally administered to inflamed periodontal tissues to evaluate its salvage function in periodontitis. The absence of lincRNA-EPS increased bone loss and expression of myeloperoxidase, interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and IL-1β in the inflammatory periodontium. LincRNA-EPS KO MGFs exhibited increased expression and activation of caspase-11/NLRP3 inflammasome components than WT MGFs under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. The expression and activation of these molecules were inhibited in lincRNA-EPS overexpressed MGFs. Mechanistically, lincRNA-EPS directly bound to transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP43) in the nucleus of MGFs, and TDP43 knockdown exerted a similar inhibitory effect on NF-κB activation and the inflammasomes as lincRNA-EPS overexpression. Locally injecting lincRNA-EPS-expressing lentivirus weakened the periodontal damage. LincRNA-EPS inhibits the LPS-induced production and activation of caspase-11 and NLRP3 inflammasomes by suppressing the activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway via interacting with TDP43, thereby alleviating periodontitis.
