Inflammasomes, which are intracellular sensors of endogenous or exogenous danger signals, activate caspase-1, resulting in interleukin (IL)-1β maturation. Although most studies on inflammasomes have been performed in human and/or mouse-derived macrophages, porcine inflammasome activation has not been elucidated even though pigs are considered one of the best animal models for translational and preclinical investigations. In this study, we optimized detection of porcine IL-1β secretion, which is the most well established indicator of inflammasome activation, and compared inflammasome activation between miniature and domestic pigs as well as between porcine and murine macrophages. In our results, anti-sera against murine IL-1β had higher affinity to porcine IL-1β than anti-sera against human IL-1β, even though the amino acid sequence of porcine IL-1β was more similar to that of human IL-1β. In addition, there was no significant difference in inflammasome activation between miniature and domestic pigs. Furthermore, well established inflammasome triggers (ATP, nigericin, and crystals) in humans and mice had similar effects on porcine NLRP3 inflammasome activation. We further elucidated the upstream signaling pathway of porcine inflammasome activation using pharmacological inhibitors. Similar to the mechanisms of inflammasome activation in humans and mice, potassium efflux and reactive oxygen species generation were confirmed as key pathways in porcine inflammasome activation. Thus, inflammasome activation in pigs is not different from that in humans or mice. 相似文献

Pigs are an important livestock and serve as a large animal model due to physiological and anatomical similarities with humans. Thus, components of the porcine immune system such as inflammasomes need to be characterized for disease control, vaccination, and translational research purposes. Previously, we and others elucidated porcine nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) family Pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. However, until now, porcine NLR family caspase recruitment domain (CARD)-containing 4 (NLRC4) and absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasomes have been not well studied. In this study, we treated well defined NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasome triggers to porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and murine bone-marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) and observed interleukin (IL)-1β maturation as a readout of inflammasome activation. NLRC4 (flagellin) and AIM2 (dsDNA) triggers led to IL-1β secretion in both porcine PBMCs and mice macrophages. In addition, porcine and mouse NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes responded differently to NLRP3 inhibitors. Bacterial inflammasome triggers, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli, also induced IL-1β secretion in porcine PBMCs. Taken together, we suggest that known triggers of NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes in mice induce IL-1β secretion in porcine PBMCs. 相似文献
