Abstract

Microparticles (MPs) are shed from activated and dying cells. They can transmit signals from cell to cell, locally or at a distance through the circulation. Monocytic MPs are elevated in different diseases, including bacterial infections. Here, we investigated how monocytic MPs activate endothelial cells. We found that MPs from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)–treated THP-1 monocytic cells bind to and are internalized by human endothelial cells. MPs from LPS-treated THP-1 cells, but not untreated cells, induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, activation of the nuclear factor-κB pathway and expression of cell adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and E-selectin. Similar results were observed using MPs from LPS-treated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We next investigated the mechanism by which monocytic MPs activated endothelial cells and found that they contain IL-1β and components of the inflammasome, including apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD, caspase-1, and NLRP3. Importantly, knockdown of NLRP3 in THP-1 cells reduced the activity of the MPs and blockade of the IL-1 receptor on endothelial cells decreased MP-dependent induction of cell adhesion molecules. Therefore, monocytic MPs contain IL-1β and may amplify inflammation by enhancing the activation of the endothelium.

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.
