ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Spontaneous inflammatory responses initiated by NLRP3 mutations promote inflammasome-mediated interleukin-1? (IL-1?) processing and release and can induce rapid necrotic cell death. The cells that produce IL-1? in neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) have not been clearly identified, nor have the mechanisms mediating IL-1? release and cell death been completely elucidated. METHODS:Whole blood cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the presence of cathepsin B and caspase 1 inhibitors, followed by ATP treatment. Supernatants were collected and incubated with IL-1?-capturing beads. Cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained for a combination of cell surface and intracellular markers, and a novel flow cytometry bead-based assay was used to measure secreted IL-1?. LPS-stimulated cells were also evaluated using immunofluorescence microscopy. RESULTS:Monocytes characterized by CD14(high) -CD16(low) expression and intracellular CD83 were increased in NOMID patients and were responsible for the majority of IL-1? production in response to LPS stimulation. This population of monocytes also underwent a rapid death response with LPS alone that is temporally associated with IL-1? and ASC release and has characteristic features of pyronecrotic but not pyroptotic cell death. Inhibition of cell death reduced IL-1? production from NOMID patient cells. In addition, IL-1 triggered cell death in monocytes from NOMID patients. CONCLUSION:Our findings indicate that monocytes are the predominant IL-1?-producing cell population in the peripheral blood of NOMID patients. Furthermore, they suggest that IL-1 receptor blockade may work in part by preventing pyronecrotic cell death, which may be an important target in NOMID and other forms of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes.
