Rotenone-induced Impairment of Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Confers a Selective Priming Signal for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation
Open accessAbstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered crucial for NLRP3 inflammasome activation partly through its release of mitochondrial toxic products, such as mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) 2 2The abbreviations used are: mROSmitochondrial reactive oxygen speciesmtDNAmitochondrial DNABMDMbone marrow-derived macrophageETCelectron transport chainMPTmitochondrial permeability transitionCCCPcarbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazoneNACN-acetyl-l-cysteineZ-benzyloxycarbonyl-fmkfluoromethyl ketone. and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Although previous studies have shown that classical NLRP3-activating stimulations lead to mROS generation and mtDNA release, it remains poorly understood whether and how mitochondrial damage-derived factors may contribute to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Here, we demonstrate that impairment of the mitochondrial electron transport chain by rotenone primes NLRP3 inflammasome activation only upon costimulation with ATP and not with nigericin or alum. Rotenone-induced priming of NLRP3 in the presence of ATP triggered the formation of specklike NLRP3 or ASC aggregates and the association of NLRP3 with ASC, resulting in NLRP3-dependent caspase-1 activation. Mechanistically, rotenone confers a priming signal for NLRP3 inflammasome activation only in the context of aberrant high-grade, but not low-grade, mROS production and mitochondrial hyperpolarization. By contrast, rotenone/ATP-mediated mtDNA release and mitochondrial depolarization are likely to be merely an indication of mitochondrial damage rather than triggering factors for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our results provide a molecular insight into the selective contribution made by mitochondrial dysfunction to the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Inhibition of mitochondrial complex I by rotenone or complex III by antimycin A induces robust ROS production by mitochondria, sufficient to drive NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
“Several studies have shown that inhibition of mitochondrial complex I by rotenone or of complex III by antimycin A induces robust ROS production by mitochondria, which is sufficient to drive NLRP3 inflammasome activation.39, 40”

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.
