cFLIPs regulates alternative NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human monocytes

The innate immune responses,including inflammasome activation,are paramount for host defense against pathogen infection.In contrast to canonical and noncanonical inflammasome activation,in this study,heat-killed gram-negative bacteria(HK bacteria)were identified as single-step stimulators of the NLRP3 inflammasome in human monocytes,and they caused a moderate amount of IL-1 β to be released from cells.Time course experiments showed that this alternative inflammasome response was finished within a few hours.Further analysis showed that the intrinsically limited NLRP3 inflammasome activation response was due to the negative regulation of caspase-8 by the short isoform of cFLIP(cFLIPs),which was activated by NF-κB.In contrast,overexpressed cFLIPs,but not overexpressed cFLIPL,inhibited the activation of caspase-8 and the release of IL-1 β in response to HK bacteria infection in human monocytes.Furthermore,we demonstrated that TAK1 activity mediated the expression of cFLIPs and was upstream and essential for the caspase-8 cleavage induced by HK bacteria in human monocytes.The functional specificity of cFLIPs and TAK1 revealed unique responses of human monocytes to a noninvasive pathogen,providing novel insights into an alternative regulatory pathway of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
