Abstract

Endogenous danger signals released from necrotic cells are thought to be sensed by phagocytes leading to secretion of IL-1α and neutrophilic recruitment. However, the mechanisms for IL-1α production and IL-1α-mediated sterile inflammation remain poorly understood. We report here that necrotic cell extracts elicited little secretion of CXCL1 and IL-6 from macrophages but robust production in mesothelial cells. The induction of CXCL1 as well as activation of NF-κB and MAPKs by cytosolic extracts required the presence of IL-1α in the necrotic cell. Conversely, expression of IL-1R and MyD88 but not IL-1α, RICK, TLR2, TLR4, TRIF, or inflammasome components in mesothelial cells was critical for the production of CXCL1. Furthermore, IL-1α was critical to induce the recruitment of neutrophils in the peritoneal cavity via CXCR2. These studies show that IL-1α is a key danger signal released from necrotic cells to trigger CXCL1 secretion and recruitment of neutrophils via IL-1R/MyD88 on neighboring mesothelial cells.

  • Intracellular stores of biologically active pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-1α and IL-33, may be released by necrotic cells.

    “Similarly, in addition to intracellular molecules, intracellular stores of biologically active pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-1α15 and IL-33 (REF. 16), may be released by necrotic cells.”

  • IL-1α released by necrotic cells was crucial for the production of CXCL1, which recruits neutrophils, by non-haematopoietic cells such as mesothelial cells.

    “Subsequently, it was shown that IL-1α released by necrotic cells was crucial for the production of CXCL1, which recruits neutrophils, by non-haematopoietic cells such as mesothelial cells15.”

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.
