- W3003644827 abstract "ABSTRACT Interleukin (IL)-1 family of cytokines modulate immune responses during infection and inflammation. IL-18 and IL-1β are members of the IL-1 family, which contribute to inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease. IL-18 and IL-1β are produced as inactive precursors that are activated by large macromolecular complexes called inflammasomes upon sensing damage or pathogenic signals. Canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation is regarded to require a priming step that causes NLRP3 and IL-1β gene upregulation, and also NLRP3 post-translational licencing. A subsequent activation step leads to the assembly of the inflammasome and the cleavage of pro-IL-18 and pro-IL-1β by caspase-1 into their mature forms, allowing their release. Here we show that in primary human monocytes, the initial priming step is dispensable to form an active NLRP3 inflammasome. We found that, in the absence of priming, the NLRP3 activator nigericin caused the processing and release of constitutively expressed IL-18. Another IL-1 family member, IL-37, is constitutively cleaved but the release of its mature form was mediated by inflammasome activation, also in the absence of a priming step. This NLRP3 activation was characterised by ASC oligomerisation as well as caspase-1 and GSDMD cleavage and was blocked by the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 and in NLRP3 deficient cells. IL-18 and IL-37 release were impaired in GSDMD deficient THP-1s, suggesting that pyroptosis is required for release of these cytokines. This work highlights the readiness of the NLRP3 inflammasome to assemble in the absence of priming and hence contribute to sterile inflammatory processes in health and disease. Significance Statement The NLRP3 inflammasome is a driver of inflammation through the processing of Interleukins (IL)-1β and IL-18. Human monocytes coordinate the innate immune response through inflammasome activation following exposure to pathogens and damage signals. We currently think of NLRP3 activation as a 2 step process: priming (NLRP3 gene upregulation and post-translational licencing) and assembly. Here we show that the priming step is dispensable for NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human monocytes. The second signal alone is sufficient for caspase-1 activation, leading to cell death and the release of the constitutively expressed IL-18 and mIL-37. This reveals that in human monocytes, the NLRP3 inflammasome is already licenced and able to quickly assemble to mount an inflammatory response." @default.
