Abstract

Pyroptosis is an inflammasome-induced lytic cell death mode, the physiological role of which in chronic inflammatory diseases is unknown. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease worldwide, affecting an estimated 150,000 patients. The disease is caused by missense mutations in Mefv that activate the Pyrin inflammasome, but the pathophysiologic mechanisms driving autoinflammation in FMF are incompletely understood. Here, we show that Clostridium difficile infection of FMF knock-in macrophages that express a chimeric FMF-associated MefvV726A Pyrin elicited pyroptosis and gasdermin D (GSDMD)–mediated interleukin (IL)-1β secretion. Importantly, in vivo GSDMD deletion abolished spontaneous autoinflammatory disease. GSDMD-deficient FMF knock-in mice were fully protected from the runted growth, anemia, systemic inflammatory cytokine production, neutrophilia, and tissue damage that characterize this autoinflammatory disease model. Overall, this work identifies pyroptosis as a critical mechanism of IL-1β–dependent autoinflammation in FMF and highlights GSDMD inhibition as a potential antiinflammatory strategy in inflammasome-driven diseases.

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.
