Abstract

The inflammasome has an essential function in innate immune, responding to a wide variety of stimuli. Here we show that the lncRNA Neat1 promotes the activation of several inflammasomes.Neat1 associates with the NLRP3, NLRC4, and AIM2 inflammasomes in mouse macrophages to enhance their assembly and subsequent pro-caspase-1 processing.Neat1 also stabilizes the mature caspase-1 to promote interleukin-1β production and pyroptosis. Upon stimulation with inflammasome-activating signals,Neat1, which normally resides in the paraspeckles, disassociates from these nuclear bodies and translocates to the cytoplasm to modulate inflammasome activation using above mechanism.Neat1 is also up-regulated under hypoxic conditions in a HIF-2α-dependent manner, mediating the effect of hypoxia on inflammasomes. Moreover, in the mouse models of peritonitis and pneumonia,Neat1 deficiency significantly reduces inflammatory responses. These results reveal a previously unrecognized role of lncRNAs in innate immunity, and suggest that Neat1 is a common mediator for inflammasome stimuli.

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.
