Propionibacterium acnes induction of inflammatory responses is a major etiological factor contributing to the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. In particular, the IL-1 family of cytokines has a critical role in both initiation of acne lesions and in the inflammatory response in acne. In this study, we demonstrated that human monocytes respond to P. acnes and secrete mature IL-1 beta partially via the NLRP3-mediated pathway. When monocytes were stimulated with live P. acnes, caspase-1 and caspase-5 gene expression was upregulated; however, IL-1 beta secretion required only caspase-1 activity. P. acnes induced key inflammasome genes including NLRP1 and NLPR3. Moreover, silencing of NLRP3, but not NLRP1, expression by small interfering RNA attenuated P. acnes-induced IL-1 beta secretion. The mechanism of P. acnes-induced NLRP3 activation and subsequent IL-1 beta secretion was found to involve potassium efflux. Finally, in acne lesions, mature caspase-1 and NLRP3 were detected around the pilosebaceous follicles and colocalized with tissue macrophages. Taken together, our results indicate that P. acnes triggers a key inflammatory mediator, IL-1 beta, via NLRP3 and caspase-1 activation, suggesting a role for inflammasome-mediated inflammation in acne pathogenesis.
