Project description:Previous studies showed that the anti-rheumatic agent auranofin inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome; thus, this study evaluate the anti-fibrotic effect of auranofin in vivo and explored the underlying molecular mechanism. The antifibrotic effect of auranofin is assessed in thioacetamide- and carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis models. In this study, we use RNA-sequencing in hepatic stellate cell (HSC), and bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) to examine the underlying mechanism of auranofin.

Project description:Background and Aims: The activation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and NOD-like receptors protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes-mediated pyroptosis signaling pathways represent two distinct central mechanisms in liver disease. However, the interconnection between these two pathways and the epigenetic regulation of the STING-NLRP3 axis in hepatocyte pyroptosis during liver fibrosis remain unknown and is the focus of this study. Approach and Results: Liver fibrosis was induced in Sting knockout, Gasdermin D (Gsdmd) knockout mice, and in mice with hepatocyte-specific Nlrp3 deletion. RNA-sequencing, metabolomics, epigenetic compound screening system, and chromatin immunoprecipitation were utilized. STING and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathways were activated in cirrhotic livers but were suppressed by Sting knockout. Sting knockout also ameliorated hepatic pyroptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in the murine cirrhotic model. In vitro, STING induced pyroptosis in primary murine hepatocytes via activating the NLRP3 inflammasome. H3K4-specific histone methyltransferase WD repeat-containing protein 5 (WDR5) and DOT1-like histone H3K79 methyltransferase (DOT1L) were identified to regulate NLRP3 expression in STING-overexpressed AML12 hepatocytes. WDR5/DOT1L-mediated histone methylation enhanced interferon regulatory transcription factor 3 (IRF3) binding to the Nlrp3 promoter and promoted STING-induced Nlrp3 transcription in hepatocytes. The RNA-sequencing and metabolomics analysis in murine livers and primary hepatocytes showed that metabolic reprogramming might participate in NLRP3-mediated hepatocyte pyroptosis and liver fibrosis. Moreover, hepatocyte-specific Nlrp3 deletion and downstream Gsdmd knockout attenuated hepatic pyroptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in murine cirrhotic models. Conclusions: This study describes a novel epigenetic mechanism by which the STING-WDR5/DOT1L/IRF3-NLRP3 signaling pathway enhances hepatocyte pyroptosis and hepatic inflammation in liver fibrosis.

Project description:Inflammasome, activated by pathogen-derived and host-derived danger signals, constitutes a multimolecular signaling complex that serves as a platform for caspase-1 (CASP1) activation and interleukin-1beta (IL1B) maturation. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome requires two-step signals. The first “priming” signal (Signal 1) enhances gene expression of inflammasome components. The second “activation” signal (Signal 2) promotes the assembly of inflammasome components. Deregulated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the pathological processes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, at present, the precise mechanism regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation and deactivation remains largely unknown. By genome-wide gene expression profiling, we studied the molecular network of NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes in a human monocyte cell line THP-1 sequentially given two-step signals. We identified the set of 83 NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes. Among them, we found the NR4A nuclear receptor family NR4A1, NR4A2, and NR4A3, the EGR family EGR1, EGR2, and EGR3, the IkappaB family NFKBIZ, NFKBID, and NFKBIA as a key group of the genes that possibly constitute a negative feedback loop for shutting down inflammation following NLRP3 inflammasome activation. By molecular network analysis, we identified a complex network of NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes involved in cellular development and death, and immune and inflammatory responses, where transcription factors AP-1, NR4A, and EGR serve as a hub. Thus, NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes constitute the molecular network composed of a set of negative feedback regulators for prompt resolution of inflammation. To load the Signal 1 (S1), THP-1 cells were incubated for 3 hours in the culture medium with or without inclusion of 0.2 microgram/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To load the Signal 2 (S2), they were incubated further for 2 hours in the culture medium with inclusion of 10 microM nigericin sodium salt dissolved in ethanol or the equal v/v% concentration of ethanol (vehicle), followed by processing for microarray analysis on Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix).

Project description:Aging is the major risk factor for cardiovascular and many other chronic diseases. During this natural process, many alterations occur in the organism which are associated with progressive impairment of several metabolic pathways related to body composition, insulin resistance, mitochondrial and autophagy dysfunction and inflammation. Recently, the role of NLRP3 inflammasome has been studied in cardiovascular diseases showing its implication in the pathological progression of atherosclerosis, heart failure, and hypertension. However, the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiac aging has been less well studied. Herein, we investigate the molecular mechanisms by which NLRP3 inhibition may attenuate cardiac aging. Ablation of NLRP3 inflammasome increased lifespan and protected mice from age-related increased insulin sensitivity, reduced IGF-1 and leptin/adiponectin ratio levels, and reduced cardiac damage with protection of the prolongation of age–dependent PR interval, which is associated with atrial fibrillation by cardiovascular aging. Furthermore, old NLRP3 KO mice showed an inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and autophagy improvement compared with old wild type mice and preserved Nampt-mediated NAD+ levels with increased SIRT1 protein expression. These findings suggest that suppression of NLRP3 prevented many age-associated changes in the heart and preserved cardiac function of aged mice.

Project description:The immune system may respond to engineered nanomaterials (ENM) through inflammatory reactions. The NLRP3 inflammasome responds to a wide range of ENM, and its activation is associated with various inflammatory diseases. The objective of the study was to compare the effects of gold ENM of different shapes on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and related signalling pathways. Differentiated THP-1 cells (wildtype, ASC- or NLRP3-deficient), were exposed to PEGylated gold nanorods, nanostars, and nanospheres. Exposed cells were subjected to gene expression analysis. Nanorods, but not nanostars or nanospheres, showed NLRP3 inflammasome activation. ASC- or NLRP3-deficient cells did not show this effect. Gold nanorod-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation was accompanied by downregulated sterol/cholesterol biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and purinergic receptor signalling. In conclusion, the shape and surface chemistry of gold nanoparticles determine NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome is dysregulated in autoinflammatory disorders caused by inherited mutations and contributes to the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases. In this study, we discovered that disulfiram, a safe FDA-approved drug, specifically inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome, but not the NLRC4 or AIM2 inflammasomes. Disulfiram suppresses caspase-1 activation, ASC speck formation, and pyroptosis induced by several stimuli that activate NLRP3. Mechanistically, NLRP3 is palmitoylated at cysteine 126, a modification required for its localization to the trans-Golgi network and inflammasome activation which was inhibited by disulfiram. Administration of disulfiram to animals inhibited the NLRP3, but not the NLRC4 inflammasome in vivo. Our study uncovers a mechanism by which disulfiram targets NLRP3 and provides a rationale for using a safe FDA-approved drug for the treatment of NLRP3-associated inflammatory diseases.

Project description:This experiment was performed to analyze the contribution of NLRP3 inflammasome activation to age-related changes in hippocampal RNA. The hypothesis was that decreased inflammasome activation would reduce hippocampal inflammation. Results indicate that inflammasome knockout animals are protected from age-related changes in hippocampal gene expression Gene expression profiles of young (1 month) and old (21-23 month) wild type, CIAS -/- and ASC -/- mouse hippocampal tissue were compared. Total mRNA was extracted using Trizol.

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome is linked to sterile and pathogen-dependent inflammation, and its dysregulation underlies many chronic diseases. Mitochondria have been implicated as regulators of NLRP3 inflammasome through multiple mechanisms including generation of mitochondrial ROS. Here we report that mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complexes I, II, III and V inhibitors all prevent NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NADH dehydrogenase (NDI1) or Ciona intestinalis alternative oxidase (AOX), which can respectively complement the functional loss of mitochondrial complex I or III, without generation of ROS, rescued NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the absence of endogenous mitochondrial complex I or complex III function. Metabolomics revealed phosphocreatine (PCr), which can sustain ATP levels, as a common metabolite that is diminished by mitochondrial ETC inhibitors. PCr depletion decreased ATP levels and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thus, mitochondrial ETC sustains NLRP3 inflammasome activation through PCr-dependent generation of ATP but a ROS independent mechanism.

Project description:Autophagy and autophagy-associated genes are closely linked to NLRP3-mediated inflammation in inflammatory disorders. This study determined that the functions of CCDC50, the novel autophagy receptor, in regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and associated inflammatory diseases. We performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) in shCtrl and shCCDC50 cells to evaluate the inflammatory responses regulated by CCDC50. The deep sequencing results showed that CCDC50 defciency caused increased NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and upregulation of associated disease pathways.
