Project description:Francisella are pathogenic bacteria whose virulence is linked to their ability to replicate within the host cell cytosol. Entry into the macrophage cytosol activates a host protective multimolecular complex called the inflammasome to release the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-18 and trigger caspase-1 dependent cell death. Here we show that cytosolic Francisella induce a type I interferon (IFN) response that is essential for caspase-1 activation, inflammasome mediated cell death, and release of IL-1 and IL-18. Extensive type I IFN dependent cell death resulting in macrophage depletion occurs in vivo during Francisella infection. Type I IFN is also necessary for inflammasome activation in response to cytosolic Listeria but not vacuole localized Salmonella or extracellular ATP. These results show the specific connection between type I IFN signaling and inflammasome activation, two sequential events triggered by recognition of cytosolic bacteria. To our knowledge, this is the first example of positive regulation of inflammasome activation. This connection underscores the importance of cytosolic recognition of pathogens and highlights how multiple innate immunity pathways interact before commitment to critical host responses.

Project description:The pediatric immune deficiency X-linked proliferative disease-2 (XLP-2) is a unique disease, with patients presenting with either hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) or intestinal bowel disease (IBD). Interestingly, XLP-2 patients display high levels of IL-18 in the serum even while in stable condition, presumably through spontaneous inflammasome activation. Recent data suggests that LPS stimulation can trigger inflammasome activation through a TNFR2/TNF/TNFR1 mediated loop in xiap−/− macrophages. Yet, the direct role TNFR2-specific activation plays in the absence of XIAP is unknown. We found TNFR2-specific activation leads to cell death in xiap−/− myeloid cells, particularly in the absence of the RING domain. RIPK1 kinase activity downstream of TNFR2 resulted in a TNF/TNFR1 cell death, independent of necroptosis. TNFR2-specific activation leads to a similar inflammatory NF-kB driven transcriptional profile as TNFR1 activation with the exception of upregulation of NLRP3 and caspase-11. Activation and upregulation of the canonical inflammasome upon loss of XIAP was mediated by RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production. While both the inhibition of RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production reduced cell death, as well as release of IL-1β, the release of IL-18 was not reduced to basal levels. This study supports targeting TNFR2 specifically to reduce IL-18 release in XLP-2 patients and to reduce priming of the inflammasome components.

Project description:S100A8/A9 is a proinflammatory mediator released by myeloid cells during many acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the precise mechanism of its release from the cytosolic compartment of neutrophils is still elusive. We report here that E-selectin-induced rapid S100A8/A9 release during inflammation occurs in a NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent fashion. Mechanistically, E-selectin engagement triggers Bruton?s tyrosine kinase dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of NLRP3. Concomitant potassium efflux via the voltage-gated potassium channel KV1.3 mediates ASC oligomerization. This is followed by caspase-1 cleavage and downstream activation of pore forming gasdermin D, enabling cytosolic S100A8/A9 to be released. Strikingly, E-selectin-mediated gasdermin D pore formation does not result in cell death, but is a transient process involving activation of the ESCRT-III membrane repair machinery. These findings do not only elucidate the molecular mechanisms of controlled S100A8/A9 release but also identify the NLRP3/gasdermin D axis as a rapid and reversible activation system in neutrophils during inflammation.

Project description:Human macrophages secrete extracellular vesicles loaded with numerous immunoregulatory proteins. Here we employed high throughput quantitative proteomics to characterize the modulation of vesicle-mediated protein secretion during non-canonical caspase-4/5-dependent inflammasome activation. We show that human macrophages activate robust caspase-4- dependent extracellular vesicle secretion upon transfection of LPS, and this process is also partially dependent on NLRP-3 and caspase-5. Similar effect occurs with delivery of the LPS with E. coli-derived outer membrane vesicles. Moreover, sensitization of the macrophages through TLR4 prior to LPS transfection dramatically augments the EV-mediated protein secretion. Our data demonstrate that this process differs significantly from ATP-induced vesiculation, and is dependent on autocrine interferon signal associated with TLR4 activation. TLR4 activation preceding the non-canonical inflammasome activation significantly enhances vesicle-mediated secretion of inflammasome components caspase-1, ASC and lytic cell death effectors GSDMD, MLKL and NINJ1, suggesting that inflammatory EV transfer may exert paracrine effects in recipient cells. Moreover, using bioinformatic methods, we identify 15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 and parthenolide as inhibitors of caspase-4-mediated inflammation and vesicle secretion, indicating potential new therapeutic potential of these anti-inflammatory drugs.

Project description:Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) catalyzes the conversion of GTP into cyclic guanosine-3',5’-monophosphate (cGMP), a key second messenger in cell signaling and tissue homeostasis. We and others recently demonstrated that sGC stimulation is associated with a remarkable anti-inflammatory effect in the liver of mice experimentally induced to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Here, we investigated the mechanisms of action underlying the anti-inflammatory effect of the sGC stimulator praliciguat (PRL) in the liver. Therapeutic administration of PRL exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic actions in mice fed with choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined high-fat diet (CDAHFD), an optimized experimental model of NASH. The anti-inflammatory effect of PRL was associated with lower F4/80- and CX3CR1-positive macrophage infiltration into the liver in parallel with lower Ly6CHigh- and higher Ly6CLow-expressing monocytes in peripheral circulation. The PRL anti-inflammatory effect was also associated with a remarkable suppression of hepatic levels of IL-1β, NLPR3, ASC and active cleaved-Caspase-1, which are components of the NLRP3 inflammasome. In vitro, in Kupffer cells challenged with the classical inflammasome model of LPS plus ATP, PRL inhibited the priming (expression of Il1b and Nlrp3) and blocked the release of mature IL-1β. Mechanistically, PRL induced the PKG-mediated phosphorylation of the VASP Ser239 residue, which in turn, reduced NF- κB activity and Il1b and Nlrp3 gene transcription. PRL also reduced active cleaved-Caspase-1 levels independently of pannexin-1 activity. These data indicate that sGC stimulation with PRL exerts anti-inflammatory actions in the liver through mechanisms related to a PKG/VASP/NF-kB/NLRP3 inflammasome circuit.

Project description:Activating macrophage NLRP3 inflammasome can promote excessive inflammation, with severe cell and tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Here, we show that pharmacological or genetic inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) significantly attenuates NLRP3 inflammasome activation in murine and human macrophages and septic mice by lowering caspase-1 cleavage and IL-1beta secretion. Inhibiting PDHK reverses NLRP3 inflammasome-induced metabolic reprogramming, enhances autophagy, promotes mitochondrial fusion over fission, preserves cristae ultrastructure, and attenuates mitochondrial ROS production. The suppressive effect of PDHK inhibition on the NLRP3 inflammasome is independent of its canonical role as a pyruvate dehydrogenase regulator. We suggest that PDHK inhibition improves mitochondrial fitness by reversing NLRP3 inflammasome activation in acutely inflamed macrophages.

Project description:Kallenberger2014 - CD95L induced apoptosis initiated by caspase-8, CD95 HeLa cells (cis/trans variant)
The paper describes a new approach that combines single cell and population data in the same model. The model consists of a large number of single cell models, which are fitted to single cell data. Simultaneously, ensemble averages are fitted to population data. It is assumed that the kinetics in each cell can be described with the same kinetic parameters. Therefore, cell-to-cell variability is explained by variable initial protein concentrations.
There are four variants of the model (with [CD95L]=500ng/ml = 16.6nM), i) cistrans (in CD95-HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050000
], ii) cistrans (in wild-type HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050001
], iii) cistrans-cistrans (in CD95-HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050002
], and iv) cistrans-cistrans (in wild-type HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050003
].
These model contain the equations for one "average cell" with median initial concentrations for CD95, FADD, p55, BID, PrNES_mCherry and PrER_mGFP. By integrating the model, it should be possible to obtain trajectories for PrER_mGFP, PrNES_mCherry, p43 and p18 similar as in Figure 4A (CD95-HeLa cells) and Figure 4B (wild-type HeLa cells).
This model is described in the article:

Abstract:
Apoptosis in response to the ligand CD95L (also known as Fas ligand) is initiated by caspase-8, which is activated by dimerization and self-cleavage at death-inducing signaling complexes (DISCs). Previous work indicated that the degree of substrate cleavage by caspase-8 determines whether a cell dies or survives in response to a death stimulus. To determine how a death ligand stimulus is effectively translated into caspase-8 activity, we assessed this activity over time in single cells with compartmentalized probes that are cleaved by caspase-8 and used multiscale modeling to simultaneously describe single-cell and population data with an ensemble of single-cell models. We derived and experimentally validated a minimal model in which cleavage of caspase-8 in the enzymatic domain occurs in an interdimeric manner through interaction between DISCs, whereas prodomain cleavage sites are cleaved in an intradimeric manner within DISCs. Modeling indicated that sustained membrane-bound caspase-8 activity is followed by transient cytosolic activity, which can be interpreted as a molecular timer mechanism reflected by a limited lifetime of active caspase-8. The activation of caspase-8 by combined intra- and interdimeric cleavage ensures weak signaling at low concentrations of CD95L and strongly accelerated activation at higher ligand concentrations, thereby contributing to precise control of apoptosis.
