Ochratoxin A induces NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis via activation of ROS modulated by autophagy in vitro
Ochratoxin A (OTA), one of the major food contaminating mycotoxins, has been reported to cause renal fibrosis through pyroptosis, but the detailed mechanism of its nephrotoxicity remains to be further investigated. Autophagy can be seen in the physiological and pathological processes of the body, an...

Ochratoxin A (OTA), one of the major food contaminating mycotoxins, has been reported to cause renal fibrosis through pyroptosis, but the detailed mechanism of its nephrotoxicity remains to be further investigated. Autophagy can be seen in the physiological and pathological processes of the body, and whether its role is positive or negative has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this paper was to explore the role of autophagic-inflammasomal pathway on pyroptosis caused by low levels of OTA in vitro. The results showed that OTA dose-dependently decreased cell viability in PK-15 cells and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 5.9 µM. OTA could significantly increase pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6) expression, induced pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome formation at 1.0–4.0 µM for 48 h according to the results of qPCR, Western blotting, Immunofluorescence staining and morphologic observation. But MCC950 (an inhibitor of NLRP3) treatment or caspase-1 (sicaspase-1) knockdown could restore these changes. Additionally, we further found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributed to OTA-induced NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis in PK-15 cells as indicated by Western blotting and immunofluorescence.
