Differential Binding of NLRP3 to non-oxidized and Ox-mtDNA mediates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation.

ABSTRACT: The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key mediator of the innate immune response to sterile tissue injury and is involved in many chronic and acute diseases. Physically and chemically diverse agents activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. Here, we show that NLRP3 binds non-oxidized and Ox-mtDNA differentially, with a half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) for non-oxidized and Ox-mtDNA of 4 nM and 247.2 nM, respectively. The NLRP3 Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMIDFCAS) gain of function mutant could bind non-oxidized mtDNA but had higher affinity for Ox-mtDNA compared to WT with an IC₅₀ of 8.1 nM. NLRP3 lacking the pyrin domain can bind both oxidized and non-oxidized mtDNA. Isolated pyrin domain prefers Ox-mtDNA. The NLRP3 pyrin domain shares a protein fold with DNA glycosylases and generate a model for DNA binding based on the structure and sequence alignment to Clostridium acetobutylicum and human OGG1, an inhibitor of Ox-mtDNA generation, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylases. We provide a new model for how NLRP3 interacts with Ox-mtDNA supported by DNA binding in the presence of a monoclonal antibody against the pyrin domain. These results give new insights into the mechanism of inflammasome assembly, and into the function of reactive oxygen species in establishing a robust immune response.

Project description:Paclitaxel is a chemotherapeutic drug commonly used to treat different types of cancer. In addition to its antitumor effect, paclitaxel is also known to promote Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4-dependent inflammatory responses, which may lower its chemotherapeutic efficacy. However, it remains unclear whether paclitaxel is able to affect inflammasome signaling in myeloid or cancer cells. Therefore, we examined the potential effect of paclitaxel on the activation of an inflammasome complex by examining caspase-1 activation and interleukin (IL)-1β secretion in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). The results showed that treatment with paclitaxel alone or following LPS priming failed to trigger the secretion of active caspase-1 and IL-1β from BMDMs. However, paclitaxel could induce robust activation of caspase-1 in BMDMs in the presence of NLRP3 inflammasome-activating signal 2, such as ATP or nigericin. This paclitaxel/ATP-mediated inflammasome activation was completely abrogated in Nlrp3-deficient macrophages. Mechanistically, paclitaxel treatment induced robust activation of the TLR4 signaling cascade, including phosphorylation of IκB and JNK and upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine mRNA levels in a TLR4-dependent manner. In contrast, paclitaxel treatment alone did not induce mitochondrial damages such as the loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential and production of mitochondrial ROS. These findings suggest that paclitaxel can drive the priming of signal-mediated events for NLRP3 activation but not a second signal-triggered phenomenon such as mitochondrial damage. This suggestion was supported by the observations that paclitaxel treatment caused robust IL-1β production in macrophages in the presence of cell-free medium derived from growth of injured cells and also in the spleen of mice. Collectively, our data strongly indicate that paclitaxel is able to facilitate the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in a certain physiological environment.
