Abstract

SUMMARY Virus-induced IL-1β and IL-18 production in macrophages is mediated via a caspase-1 pathway. Multiple microbial components, including viral RNA, are thought to trigger assembly of the cryopyrin inflammasome and consequent caspase-1 activation. Here we demonstrate that cryopyrin−/− and caspase-1−/− mice are more susceptible than wildtype controls following infection with a pathogenic influenza A virus. This profile of enhanced morbidity correlates with decreased neutrophil and monocyte recruitment and reduced cytokine and chemokine production. Despite the effect on innate immunity, cryopyrin-deficiency was not associated with any obvious defect in virus control or on the later emergence of the adaptive response. Early epithelial necrosis was, however, more severe in the infected mutants, with extensive collagen deposition leading to later respiratory compromise. These findings reveal a novel function of the cryopyrin inflammasome in healing responses. Cryopyrin and caspase-1 are clearly central to both innate immunity and to moderating lung pathology in influenza pneumonia.

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.
