Caspase-11 signaling enhances graft-versus-host disease.


ABSTRACT: Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major obstacle for the wider usage of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), which is an effective therapy for hematopoietic malignancy. Here we show that caspase-11, the cytosolic receptor for bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide: LPS), enhances GVHD severity. Allo-HSCT markedly increases the LPS-caspase-11 interaction, leading to the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD). Caspase-11 and GSDMD mediate the release of interleukin-1? (IL-1?) in allo-HSCT. Deletion of Caspase-11 or Gsdmd, inhibition of LPS-caspase-11 interaction, or neutralizing IL-1? uniformly reduces intestinal inflammation, tissue damage, donor T cell expansion and mortality in allo-HSCT. Importantly, Caspase-11 deficiency does not decrease the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) activity, which is essential to prevent cancer relapse. These findings have major implications for allo-HSCT, as pharmacological interference with the caspase-11 signaling might reduce GVHD while preserving GVL activity.
