This study confirms the presence of multiple canonical inflammasomes in neutrophils and identifies their differential roles in neutrophil immune responses. It provides new insights into the immune mechanisms of neutrophils.
Neutrophils are the most prevalent immune cells in circulation, but the repertoire of canonical inflammasomes in neutrophils and their respective involvement in neutrophil IL-1 beta secretion and neutrophil cell death remain unclear. Here, we show that neutrophil-targeted expression of the disease-associated gain-of-function Nlrp3(A350V) mutant suffices for systemic autoinflammatory disease and tissue pathology in vivo. We confirm the activity of the canonical NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasomes in neutrophils, and further show that the NLRP1b, Pyrin and AIM2 inflammasomes also promote maturation and secretion of interleukin (IL)-1 beta in cultured bone marrow neutrophils. Notably, all tested canonical inflammasomes promote GSDMD cleavage in neutrophils, and canonical inflammasome-induced pyroptosis and secretion of mature IL-1 beta are blunted in GSDMD-knockout neutrophils. In contrast, GSDMD is dispensable for PMA-induced NETosis. We also show that Salmonella Typhimurium-induced pyroptosis is markedly increased in Nox2/Gp91(Phox)-deficient neutrophils that lack NADPH oxidase activity and are defective in PMA-induced NETosis. In conclusion, we establish the canonical inflammasome repertoire in neutrophils and identify differential roles for GSDMD and the NADPH complex in canonical inflammasome-induced neutrophil pyroptosis and mitogen-induced NETosis, respectively.
