OXSR1 inhibits inflammasome activation by limiting potassium efflux during mycobacterial infection

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic mycobacteria inhibit inflammasome activation as part of their pathogenesis. While it is known that potassium efflux is a trigger for inflammasome activation, the interaction between mycobacterial infection, potassium efflux and inflammasome activation has not been investigated. Here we use Mycobacterium marinum infection of zebrafish embryos to demonstrate that pathogenic mycobacteria upregulate the host WNK signalling pathway kinases SPAK and OXSR1 which control intracellular potassium balance. We show that genetic depletion or inhibition of OXSR1 decreases bacterial burden and intracellular potassium levels. The protective effects of OXSR1 depletion are mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome activation and are dependent on caspase-mediated release of IL-1β and the downstream activation of protective TNF-α. The elucidation of this druggable pathway to potentiate inflammasome activation provides a new avenue for the development of host-directed therapies against intracellular infections.

Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen for novel regulators of mechanical stress on NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Project description:Immune cells sense the microenvironment to fine-tune their inflammatory responses. Patients with cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), caused by mutations in the NLRP3 gene, present auto-inflammation and its manifestation is largely dependent on environmental cues. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we uncover that KCNN4, a calcium-activated potassium channel, links PIEZO-mediated mechanotransduction to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Yoda1, a PIEZO1 agonist, lowers the threshold for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. PIEZO-mediated sensing of stiffness and shear stress increases NLRP3-dependent inflammation. Myeloid-specific deletion of PIEZO1/2 protects mice from gouty arthritis. Activation of PIEZO1 triggers calcium influx, which activates KCNN4 to evoke potassium efflux promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Activation of PIEZO signaling is sufficient to activate the inflammasome in cells expressing CAPS-causing NLRP3 mutants via KCNN4. Finally, pharmacologic inhibition of KCNN4 alleviates auto-inflammation in CAPS patient cells and in CAPS-mimicking mice. Thus, PIEZO-dependent mechanical inputs augment inflammation in NLRP3-dependent diseases including CAPS.

FADD is a new protein secreted unconventionally following classical NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Project description:NLRP3 inflammasome assembles in response to stress or danger signals and leads to unconventional secretion of proinflammatory IL-1. FADD is an NLRP3 inflammasome component. Here we found that classical NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human monocytes/macrophages induced FADD secretion, which required potassium efflux, functional NLRP3 sensor, ASC adaptor and caspase-1 scaffold molecule. FADD is a leaderless protein unconventionally secreted through plasma membrane-derived microvesicles. Blood-derived monocytes from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients secreted more FADD following NLRP3 inflammasome activation than those from healthy donors, and we found increased levels of FADD in the sera (ESPOIR cohort) and synovial fluids from RA patients. Levels of synovial FADD correlated with the inflammatory status of the joint. These data reveal that FADD secretion occurs during inflammatory disease in vivo.

E-selectin-mediated rapid NLRP3 inflammasome activation regulates S100A8/A9 release from neutrophils via transient gasdermin D pore formation

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.

Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by bacterial outer membranes vesicles activates intrinsic apoptosis and inflammation

Project description:Sensing of microbes activates the immune system, depending on functional mitochondria. However, pathogenic bacteria inhibit mitochondria activity by delivering toxins via outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). How innate immune cells respond to pathogenic microbes that target mitochondria remains unclear. Here, we show that macrophages induce mitochondrial apoptosis and the NLRP3 inflammasome in response OMVs. Macrophages treated with OMVs and toxins that cause mitochondria dysfunction cease host protein translation which depletes pro-survival BCL-2 family member, MCL-1, and induces BAK-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis. Mitochondrial apoptosis and potassium ion efflux activate the NLRP3 inflammasome after OMV exposure. Importantly, mitochondrial apoptosis modulates IL-1 serum levels in response to OMVs. Our data highlight how innate immune cells sense infections by monitoring mitochondrial health.

Mycobacterial p(1)-type ATPases mediate resistance to zinc poisoning in human macrophages.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis thrives within macrophages by residing in phagosomes and preventing them from maturing and fusing with lysosomes. A parallel transcriptional survey of intracellular mycobacteria and their host macrophages revealed signatures of heavy metal poisoning. In particular, mycobacterial genes encoding heavy metal efflux P-type ATPases CtpC, CtpG, and CtpV, and host cell metallothioneins and zinc exporter ZnT1, were induced during infection. Consistent with this pattern of gene modulation, we observed a burst of free zinc inside macrophages, and intraphagosomal zinc accumulation within a few hours postinfection. Zinc exposure led to rapid CtpC induction, and ctpC deficiency caused zinc retention within the mycobacterial cytoplasm, leading to impaired intracellular growth of the bacilli. Thus, the use of P(1)-type ATPases represents a M. tuberculosis strategy to neutralize the toxic effects of zinc in macrophages. We propose that heavy metal toxicity and its counteraction might represent yet another chapter in the host-microbe arms race. [Data is also available from http://bugs.sgul.ac.uk/E-BUGS-122]

Type I interferon signaling is required for activation of the inflammasome during Francisella infection

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. Keywords: murine macrophage response to Francisella tularensis subspecies novicida infection We analyzed a series of 18 MEEBO arrays on which were hybed RNA randomly amplified from bone marrow derived macrophages infected or not with WT Francisella tularensis subspecies novicida or a the mglA mutant strain GB2.

Experimental selection of long-term intracellular mycobacteria

Project description:Some intracellular bacteria are known to cause long-term infections for periods of time that last decades without compromising the viability of the host. Although of critical importance, the changes that intracellular bacteria suffer during this long process of residence in a host cell environment remain obscure. Here, we report an experimental approach to study the adaptations of intracellular mycobacteria forced by a long-term intracellular lifestyle. Long-term infection of host macrophages with mycobacteria was maintained for a period of years. Mycobacteria in the long-term infected macrophages underwent an adaptation process leading to impaired phenolic glycolipids (PGL) synthesis, preference for glucose as a carbon source and neutral lipids accumulation. These changes correlated with increased survival of mycobacteria in macrophages and mice during re-infection and specific expression of stress- and survival-related genes. Our findings identify bacterial traits implicated in the establishment of long-term cellular infections and represent a tool for understanding the physiological states of bacteria living in fluctuating intracellular environments.

ZBP1 is a cytosolic RNA virus sensor driving activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, pyroptosis, necroptosis and apoptosis

Project description:The innate immune system recognizes nucleic acids as a signature of microbial infection and initiates host-protective responses, including the production of type I IFN and proinflammatory cytokines. Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1, also known as DLM-1 or DAI) was previously identified as a dsDNA binding protein, triggering DNA-mediated activation of innate immune responses. However, mice or cells lacking ZBP1 produce normal levels of type I IFN in response to dsDNA. Therefore, the classification of ZBP1 as a true DNA sensor remains to be resolved. Here, we report that the single stranded RNA virus, influenza A virus (IAV) is a trigger of the cytosolic sensor ZBP1. Sensing of IAV infection by ZBP1 engages a novel NLRP3 inflammasome pathway that is not defined by the conventions of the canonical and non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Surprisingly, IAV-induced cell death was not prevented by the absence of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Instead, we identified parallel contributions from pyroptosis, necroptosis and apoptosis in the execution of ZBP1-dependent cell death, mediated by the kinase RIPK3. Overall, the ability of ZBP1 to sense IAV infection signifies a point of divergence for IAV-induced programmed cell death pathways and inflammasome activation. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in influenza-infected bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) isolated from Ifnar1-/- and wild-type mice.

The transcription factor IRF1 and guanylate-binding proteins target activation of the AIM2 inflammasome by Francisella infection

Project description:Inflammasomes are critical for mounting host defense against pathogens. The molecular mechanisms that control activation of the AIM2 inflammasome in response to different cytosolic pathogens remain unclear. Here we found that the transcription factor IRF1 was required for the activation of the AIM2 inflammasome during infection with the Francisella tularensis subspecies novicida (F. novicida), whereas engagement of the AIM2 inflammasome by mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) or transfected double-stranded DNA did not require IRF1. Infection of F. novicida detected by the DNA sensor cGAS and its adaptor STING induced type I interferon-dependent expression of IRF1, which drove the expression of guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs); this led to intracellular killing of bacteria and DNA release. Our results reveal a specific requirement for IRF1 and GBPs in the liberation of DNA for AIM2 sensing depending on the pathogen encountered by the cell. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in Francisella-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) isolated from Irf1-/-, Ifnar1-/-, Aim2-/- and wild-type mice.

Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome by Virus-like Particles of Human Polyomaviruses in Macrophages

Project description:Viral antigens can activate phagocytes inducing inflammation but the mechanisms are barely explored. This study aimed to investigate the capability of viral oligomeric proteins of different structure to induce inflammatory response in macrophages. Human THP-1 cell line was used to prepare macrophages which were treated with filamentous nucleocapsid-like particles (NLPs) of paramyxoviruses and spherical virus-like particles (VLPs) of human polyomaviruses. The effects of viral proteins on cell viability, pro-inflammatory cytokines’ production and formation of NLRP3 inflammasome components, ASC specks, were investigated. Filamentous NLPs did not induce inflammation markers while spherical VLPs mediated inflammatory response followed by NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Inhibitors of cathepsins and K+ efflux decreased IL-1β levels and cell death indicating a complex inflammasome activation process. Similar activation pattern was observed in primary human macrophages treated with VLPs. Single cell RNAseq analysis of THP-1 cells revealed several cell activation states characterized by high expression of inflammation-related genes. This study provides new insights into interaction of viral proteins with innate immune cells and suggests that structural properties of oligomeric proteins may define cell activation pathways.
