The neuropeptide CGRP enters the macrophage cytosol to suppress the NLRP3 inflammasome during pulmonary infection

The NLRP3 inflammasome plays an essential role in resistance to bacterial infection.The nervous system secretes multiple neuropeptides affecting the nervous system as well as immune cells.The precise impact of the neuropeptide CGRP on NLRP3 inflammasome activation is still unclear.Here,we show that CGRP negatively regulates the antibacterial process of host cells.CGRP prevents NLRP3 inflammasome activation and reduces mature IL-1β secretion.Following NLRP3 inflammasome stimulation that triggers endosome leakage,CGRP internalized to endosomal compartments is released into the cell cytosol.Cytosolic CGRP binds directly to NLRP3 and dismantles the NLRP3-NEK7 complex,which is crucial for NLRP3 inflammasome activation.CGRP administration exacerbates bacterial infection,while the treatment with a CGRP antagonist has the opposite effect.Our study uncovers a unique role of CGRP in inhibiting inflammasome activation during infections,which might shed new light on antibacterial therapies in the future.
