Abstract

The NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which is activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and repressed by autophagy, has been identified as a novel agent of pulmonary fibrosis. Angiotensin II (AngII), the bioactive pro-oxidant in the renin-angiotensin system, aggravates lung fibrosis. However, the effect of AngII on NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy in lung fibrosis remains unknown. This study investigates the potential link between AngII-induced autophagy in the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β axis in lung fibrosis. In vivo, autophagy and the NLRP3 inflammasome were activated in fibrotic patients and positively correlated with oxidation. Treatment with rapamycin promoted autophagy but inhibited oxidation, NLRP3 inflammasome, and lung fibrosis after bleomycin (BLM) infusion. The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine reduced BLM-induced lung fibrosis and concurrently facilitated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and oxidation in fibroblasts. In vitro, AngII promoted intercellular ROS, hydrogen peroxide, and NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) protein levels and reduced the glutathione concentration, thereby leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation and consequent collagen synthesis. AngII induced autoph...Continue Reading
