Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) is critical for the in vivo survival, expansion and effector function of IL-17-producing helper T (T(H)17) cells during autoimmune responses, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the spatiotemporal role and cellular source of IL-1 beta during EAE pathogenesis are poorly defined. In the present study, we uncovered a T cell-intrinsic inflammasome that drives IL-1 beta production during T(H)17-mediated EAE pathogenesis. Activation of T cell antigen receptors induced expression of pro-IL-1 beta, whereas ATP stimulation triggered T cell production of IL-1 beta via ASC-NLRP3-dependent caspase-8 activation. IL-1R was detected on T(H)17 cells but not on type 1 helper T (T(H)1) cells, and ATP-treated T(H)17 cells showed enhanced survival compared with ATP-treated T(H)1 cells, suggesting autocrine action of T(H)17-derived IL-1 beta. Together these data reveal a critical role for IL-1 beta produced by a T(H)17 cell-intrinsic ASC-NLRP3-caspase-8 inflammasome during inflammation of the central nervous system.
