Abstract

Mutations in the NALP3/CIAS1/cryopyrin gene are linked to three autoinflammatory disorders: Muckle-Wells syndrome, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, and chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous and articular syndrome. NALP3, with the adaptor molecule ASC, has been proposed to form a caspase-1-activating "inflammasome," a complex with pro-IL1beta-processing activity. Here, we demonstrate the effect of NALP3 deficiency on caspase-1 function. NALP3 was essential for the ATP-driven activation of caspase-1 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages and for the efficient secretion of the caspase-1-dependent cytokines IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-18. IL-1beta has been shown to play a key role in contact hypersensitivity; we show that ASC- and NALP3-deficient mice also demonstrate an impaired contact hypersensitivity response to the hapten trinitrophenylchloride. NALP3, however, was not required for caspase-1 activation by Salmonella typhimurium, and NALP3 deficiency only partially protects mice from the lethal effects of endotoxin. These data suggest that NALP3 plays a specific role in the caspase-1 activation pathway.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
