The kinase receptor-interacting protein 1 is required for inflammasome activation induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress
Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to the development and progression of many chronic inflammatory diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. ER stress has been reported to induce inflammasome activation and release of mature IL-1β, which contributes to many inflammatory diseases. The molecular mechanisms that activate the inflammasome during ER stress are still poorly understood. Here we report that the kinase receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) plays an important role in ER stress-induced activation of inflammasome. Inhibition of RIP1 kinase activity by Necrostatin-1 or siRNA-mediated RIP1 knockdown significantly reduced ER stress-induced caspase-1 cleavage and IL-1β secretion in both bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and J774A.1 macrophages. We speculate that the mitochondria fission factor dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) might function as the effectors downstream of RIP1 to mediate inflammasome activation. Our study reveals a critical role for RIP1 in regulating ER stress-induced inflammation responses, and proposes RIP1 as a potential pharmaceutical target to treat diseases resulting from unresolved ER stress-r...Continue Reading
