Irgm2 and Gate-16 cooperatively dampen Gram-negative bacteria-induced caspase-11 response.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory caspase-11 (rodent) and caspases-4/5 (humans) detect the Gram-negative bacterial component LPS within the host cell cytosol, promoting activation of the non-canonical inflammasome. Although non-canonical inflammasome-induced pyroptosis and IL-1-related cytokine release are crucial to mount an efficient immune response against various bacteria, their unrestrained activation drives sepsis. This suggests that cellular components tightly control the threshold level of the non-canonical inflammasome in order to ensure efficient but non-deleterious inflammatory responses. Here, we show that the IFN-inducible protein Irgm2 and the ATG8 family member Gate-16 cooperatively counteract Gram-negative bacteria-induced non-canonical inflammasome activation, both in cultured macrophages and in vivo. Specifically, the Irgm2/Gate-16 axis dampens caspase-11 targeting to intracellular bacteria, which lowers caspase-11-mediated pyroptosis and cytokine release. Deficiency in Irgm2 or Gate16 induces both guanylate binding protein (GBP)-dependent and GBP-independent routes for caspase-11 targeting to intracellular bacteria. Our findings identify molecular effectors that fine-tune bacteria-activated non-canonical inflammasome responses and shed light on the understanding of the immune pathways they control.

TRIF licenses caspase-11-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation by gram-negative bacteria.

Project description:Systemic infections with Gram-negative bacteria are characterized by high mortality rates due to the "sepsis syndrome," a widespread and uncontrolled inflammatory response. Though it is well recognized that the immune response during Gram-negative bacterial infection is initiated after the recognition of endotoxin by Toll-like receptor 4, the molecular mechanisms underlying the detrimental inflammatory response during Gram-negative bacteremia remain poorly defined. Here, we identify a TRIF pathway that licenses NLRP3 inflammasome activation by all Gram-negative bacteria. By engaging TRIF, Gram-negative bacteria activate caspase-11. TRIF activates caspase-11 via type I IFN signaling, an event that is both necessary and sufficient for caspase-11 induction and autoactivation. Caspase-11 subsequently synergizes with the assembled NLRP3 inflammasome to regulate caspase-1 activation and leads to caspase-1-independent cell death. These events occur specifically during infection with Gram-negative, but not Gram-positive, bacteria. The identification of TRIF as a regulator of caspase-11 underscores the importance of TLRs as master regulators of inflammasomes during Gram-negative bacterial infection.

Caspase-6 promotes activation of the caspase-11-NLRP3 inflammasome during gram-negative bacterial infections.

Project description:The innate immune system acts as the first line of defense against infection. One key component of the innate immune response to gram-negative bacterial infections is inflammasome activation. The caspase-11 (CASP11)-nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is activated by cytosolic lipopolysaccharide, a gram-negative bacterial cell wall component, to trigger pyroptosis and host defense during infection. Although several cellular signaling pathways have been shown to regulate CASP11-NLRP3 inflammasome activation in response to lipopolysaccharide, the upstream molecules regulating CASP11 activation during infection with live pathogens remain unclear. Here, we report that the understudied caspase-6 (CASP6) contributes to the activation of the CASP11-NLRP3 inflammasome in response to infections with gram-negative bacteria. Using in vitro cellular systems with bone marrow-derived macrophages and 293T cells, we found that CASP6 can directly process CASP11 by cleaving at Asp59 and Asp285, the CASP11 auto-cleavage sites, which could contribute to the activation of CASP11 during gram-negative bacterial infection. Thus, the loss of CASP6 led to impaired CASP11-NLRP3 inflammasome activation in response to gram-negative bacteria. These results demonstrate that CASP6 potentiates activation of the CASP11-NLRP3 inflammasome to produce inflammatory cytokines during gram-negative bacterial infections.

Role of Gate-16 and Gabarap in Prevention of Caspase-11-Dependent Excess Inflammation and Lethal Endotoxic Shock.

Project description:Sepsis is a life-threating multi-organ disease induced by host innate immunity to pathogen-derived endotoxins including lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Direct sensing of LPS by caspase-11 activates inflammasomes and causes lethal sepsis in mice. Inhibition of caspase-11 inflammasomes is important for the prevention of LPS-induced septic shock; however, whether a caspase-11 inflammasome-specific suppressive mechanism exists is unclear. Here we show that deficiency of GABARAP autophagy-related proteins results in over-activation of caspase-11 inflammasomes but not of canonical inflammasomes. Gate-16 -/- Gabarap -/- macrophages exhibited elevated guanylate binding protein 2 (GBP2)-dependent caspase-11 activation and inflammatory responses. Deficiency of GABARAPs resulted in formation of GBP2-containing aggregates that promote IL-1β production. High mortality after low dose LPS challenge in Gate-16 -/- Gabarap -/- mice primed with poly(I:C) or polymicrobial sepsis was ameliorated by compound GBP2 deficiency. These results reveal a critical function of Gate-16 and Gabarap to suppress GBP2-dependent caspase-11-induced inflammation and septic shock.
