Indoxyl Sulfate Mediates the Low Inducibility of the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Hemodialysis Patients.


ABSTRACT: The NLRP3 inflammasome is responsible for the maturation of caspase-1 and interleukin-1? (IL-1?). Despite the study about basal activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome in hemodialysis (HD) patients, little is known about its inducibility in the milieu of uremia. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 11 HD patients and 14 volunteers without a history of chronic kidney disease, as well as macrophages with or without the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (IS) pretreatment, underwent canonical NLRP3 inflammasome induction. Despite the high plasma levels of IL-1? in HD patients, caspase-1 and IL-1? in the PBMCs of HD patients remained predominantly immature and were not secreted in response to the canonical stimulus. In addition, while IS alone facilitated the inflammasome-independent secretion of IL-1? from macrophages, IS exposure before induction reduced the inducibility of the NLRP3 inflammasome, characterized by insufficient maturation of caspase-1. The low expression of inflammasome components, which was observed in both IS-pretreated cells and the PBMCs of HD patients, was probably responsible for the low inducibility.

The NLRP3 inflammasome is responsible for the maturation of caspase-1 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Despite the study about basal activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome in hemodialysis (HD) patients, little is known about its inducibility in the milieu of uremia. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 11 HD patients and 14 volunteers without a history of chronic kidney disease, as well as macrophages with or without the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (IS) pretreatment, underwent canoni  ...[more]
