Project description:Inflammasomes are multi-protein complexes that control the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta. Inflammasomes play an important role in the control of immunity to tumors and infections, and also in autoimmune diseases, but the mechanisms controlling the activation of human inflammasomes are largely unknown. We found that human activated CD4+CD45RO+ memory T-cells specifically suppress P2X7R-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, without affecting P2X7R-independent NLRP3 or NLRP1 inflammasome activation. The concomitant increase in pro-IL-1β production induced by activated memory T-cells concealed this effect. Priming with IFNβ decreased pro-IL-1β production in addition to NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition and thus unmasked the inhibitory effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. IFNβ did not suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation by acting directly on monocytes. The inhibition of pro-IL-1β production and suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by IFNβ-primed human CD4+CD45RO+ memory T-cells is partly mediated by soluble FasL and is associated with down-regulated P2X7R mRNA expression and reduced response to ATP in monocytes. CD4+CD45RO+ memory T-cells from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients showed a reduced ability to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation, however their suppressive ability was recovered following in vivo treatment with IFNβ. Thus, our data demonstrate that human P2X7R-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation is regulated by activated CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells, and provide new information on the mechanisms mediating the therapeutic effects of IFNβ in MS. Memory T-cells were cultured in the presence of monocytes with and without Interferon-beta, resorted and expression profile was determined

Project description:Activation of the NACHT, LRR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome complex is an essential innate immune signalling mechanism. To reveal how NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation are controlled, in particular by components of the ubiquitin system, proximity labelling, affinity purification and RNAi screening approaches were performed. Our study provides an intricate time-resolved molecular map of different phases of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. We discovered that ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCH-L1) interacts with the NACHT domain of NLRP3, and downregulation of UCH-L1 decreases pro-IL-1β levels. UCH-L1 chemical inhibition with small molecules interfered with NLRP3 puncta formation and ASC oligomerisation, leading to altered IL-1β cleavage and secretion, particularly in microglia cells, which exhibited elevated UCH-L1 expression as compared to monocytes/macrophages. Altogether, we profiled NLRP3 inflammasome activation dynamics and highlight UCH-L1 as an important modulator of NLRP3-mediated IL-1β production, suggesting that a pharmacological inhibitor of UCH-L1 may decrease inflammation-associated pathologies.

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are key players in intestinal homeostasis. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Herein, we used cell culture, novel mouse models, and human specimens to examine if ER stress in ILC3s impacts IBD pathophysiology. We show that mouse intestinal ILC3s exhibited a 24h-rhythmic expression pattern of the master ER stress response regulator, IRE1α-XBP1. Proinflammatory cytokine IL-23 selectively stimulated IRE1α-XBP1 in mouse ILC3s through mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). IRE1α-XBP1 was activated in ILC3s of mice exposed to experimental colitis and in inflamed human IBD specimens. Mice with Ire1α deletion in ILC3s (Ire1αΔRorc) showed reduced expression of ER stress response and cytokine genes including Il22 in ILC3s and were highly vulnerable to infections and colitis. Administration of IL-22 counteracted their colitis susceptibility. In human ILC3s, IRE1 inhibitors suppressed cytokine production, which was upregulated by an IRE1 activator. Moreover, the frequencies of intestinal XBP1s+ ILC3s in Crohn’s disease patients before administration of ustekinumab, an anti-IL-12/IL-23 antibody, positively correlated with response to treatment. We demonstrate that a non-canonical mtROS-IRE1α-XBP1 pathway augments cytokine production by ILC3s and identify XBP1+ ILC3s as a potential biomarker for predicting response to anti-IL-23 therapies in IBD. Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) have recently emerged as important regulators and potential drug targets for IBD. However, the response of ILC3s to environmental stimuli during intestinal inflammation remains elusive. IRE1a-XBP1 serves as the regulatory hub of the unfolded protein response (UPR) that plays a vital role in intestinal inflammation.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Murine models of CH suggest a central role of inflammasomes and IL-1β in accelerated atherosclerosis and plaque destabilization. Here we show using scRNAseq in human carotid plaques that inflammasome components are enriched in macrophages, while the receptor for IL-1β is enriched in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). To address the role of inflammatory crosstalk in features of plaque destabilization, we conducted SMC fate mapping in mice modeling Jak2VF or Tet2 CH treated with IL-1β antibodies. Unexpectedly, this treatment minimally affected SMC differentiation, leading instead to a prominent expansion of fibroblast-like cells. Depletion of fibroblasts from mice treated with IL-1β antibody resulted in thinner fibrous caps. Conversely, genetic inactivation of Jak2VF during plaque regression promoted fibroblasts accumulation and fibrous cap thickening. Our studies suggest that suppression of inflammasomes promotes plaque stabilization by recruiting fibroblast-like cells to the fibrous cap.

Project description:The repair of injured enthesis remains a challenging clinical issue in sports medicine due to dysregulated inflammation and limited regenerative capability. Nevertheless, the mechanisms through which this dysregulated inflammation deteriorates the regenerative niche of enthesis remain unclear. Here, we found that Nlrp3 inflammasomes were activated in macrophages after enthesis injury and subsequently suppressed the regeneration. Nlrp3 inflammasomes generated a proinflammatory niche through an imbalance between the pro-inflammatory factor IL-1β and anti-inflammatory factors including IL-10 and IL-13. Mechanistically, IL-1β was identified as an inhibitory inflammation signaling in proinflammatory niche, reducing the differentiation and migration of stem cells. Moreover, the P2rx7 receptors were verified as an activation signal for Nlrp3 inflammasome post-injury, and conditional knockout of P2rx7 receptors on myeloid cells promoted enthesis regeneration. Together, these results illustrate that Nlrp3 inflammasome generates a proinflammatory niche to suppress enthesis regeneration, and demonstrate that the P2rx7/Nlrp3 inflammasome axis and IL-1β are promising niche-directed regenerative therapeutic targets for enthesis injury treatment.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS) is an autoinflammatory condition consequence of monoallelic variants in the NLRP3 gene that exacerbate IL-1β production. These variants are gain-of-function, but the exact regulatory mechanism of the NLRP3 CAPS-inflammasome is not well yet understood. It is considered as a hypersensitive inflammasome triggered by cell priming, but patients with CAPS and animal disease models present inflammatory flares in the absence of external triggers.</p><p><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong> To study the regulation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in CAPS.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> CAPS derived blood samples and genetically modified macrophages expressing different NLRP3 CAPS-associated variants were used to assess NLRP3 function dissociated from cell priming and cell metabolism.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> We found that CAPS-associated variants constitutively result in active NLRP3 inflammasomes, that induce a basal cleavage of gasdermin D, IL-18 release and pyroptosis. The constitutive active NLRP3 inflammasome was blocked by MCC950 and was dependent on NLRP3 expression level, being further regulated by deubiquitination. We also showed that activation of NF-κB with lipopolysaccharide or other endogenous host-derived molecules (palmitate, S100A9 or IL-6) further modulated the activation of the NLRP3 CAPS inflammasome and expanded the repertoire of molecules secreted from CAPS macrophages to IL-1β, IL-1α, HMGB1, cystatin B and the P2X7 receptor, identifying novel proteins involved in CAPS pathogenesis. NLRP3 inflammasomes with CAPS associated variants affected the immunometabolism of the myeloid compartment and impaired glycolysis.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> These findings demonstrate that NLRP3 CAPS-associated variants form a constitutive active inflammasome that induce basal pyroptosis and IL-18 release without cell priming, suggesting a priming-independent mechanism for the initiation of CAPS flares characterized with a profound affection in the immunometabolism.</p>

Project description:Trachoma is a poorly understood immuno-fibrogenic disease process, initiated by Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct). Differences in conjunctival gene expression profiles between Ethiopians with trachomatous trichiasis (with (TTI) and without (TT) inflammation) and controls (NC) were investigated to identify relevant host responses. Tarsal conjunctival swab samples were collected for RNA isolation and Ct PCR. Transcriptome-wide microarray experiments were conducted on 42 samples (TTI 13, TT 15, NC14). Specific results were confirmed using multiplex quantitative RT-PCR for 16 mRNA targets in an independent collection of case-control samples: 386 case-control pairs (TTI 244, TT 142, NC 386). The gene expression profiles of cases were consistent with: squamous metaplasia (Keratins, SPRR), pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IL-1β, CXCL5, S100A7) and tissue remodelling (MMP7, MMP9, MMP12, HAS3). There was no difference in the level of IFNG between cases and controls. However, cases had increased INDO, NOS2A, and IL13RA2 and reduced IL13. Ct was detected in 1/772. Cases show evidence of ongoing inflammation and tissue remodelling, which were more marked where clinical inflammation was also present. Significantly, these processes appear to be active in the absence of current Ct infection. There was limited evidence of a TH1 response (INDO, NOS2A) and no association between a TH2 response and cases. The epithelium appears actively involved in late cicatricial stages of trachoma through production of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β, CXCL5, S100A7). Longitudinal studies are needed to investigate which aetiological factors and pathways are associated with progressive scarring and whether simply controlling chlamydial infection will halt progression in people with established cicatricial disease. Case - control study. Conjunctival swab samples were collected from people with trachomatous trichiasis with (TTI) and without (TT) clinically visable inflammation compared to normal controls (C). Total RNA extracted and analysed on the Illumina WG-6 platrom. Additional extensive qRT-PCR work done on a large set of case-control pairs.
