Induced pluripotent stem cells from CINCA syndrome patients as a model for dissecting somatic mosaicism and drug discovery

ABSTRACT: Chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular (CINCA) syndrome is an IL-1-driven autoinflammatory disorder caused mainly by NLRP3 mutations. The pathogenesis of CINCA syndrome patients who carry NLRP3 mutations as somatic mosaicism has not been precisely described because of the difficulty in separating individual cells based on the presence or absence of the mutation. Here, we report the generation of NLRP3-mutant and non-mutant induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from two CINCA syndrome patients with somatic mosaicism, and describe their differentiation into macrophages (iPS-MPs). We found that mutant cells are predominantly responsible for the pathogenesis in these mosaic patients because only mutant iPS-MPs showed the disease relevant phenotype of abnormal IL-1β secretion. We also confirmed that the existing anti-inflammatory compounds inhibited the abnormal IL-1β secretion, indicating that mutant iPS-MPs are applicable for drug screening for CINCA syndrome and other NLRP3-related inflammatory conditions. Our results illustrate that patient-derived iPSCs are useful for dissecting somatic mosaicism, and that NLRP3-mutant iPSCs can provide a valuable platform for drug discovery for multiple NLRP3-related disorders.

Project description:BACKGROUND: 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.OBJECTIVES: To study the regulation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in CAPS.METHODS: 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.RESULTS: 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.CONCLUSIONS: 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.
