Activation of NLRP3 by uropathogenic Escherichia coli is associated with IL-1β release and regulation of antimicrobial properties in human neutrophils
Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β have recently been linked to the severity of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)-mediated urinary tract infection (UTI). However, not much is known about the contribution of NLRP3 to the antimicrobial properties of neutrophils and the release of IL-1β duri...

We found that the UPEC strain CFT073 increased the expression of NLRP3 and increased caspase-1 activation and IL-1β release from human neutrophils.

Furthermore, inhibition of caspase-1 and NLRP3 activation increased neutrophil ROS-production, phagocytosis and the ability of neutrophils to suppress UPEC growth. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that UPEC can induce NLRP3 and serine protease-dependent release of IL-1β from human neutrophils and that NLRP3 and caspase-1 can regulate the antimicrobial activity of human neutrophils against UPEC.Isak DemirelAlexander PerssonAnnelie BraunerEva SärndahlRobert KruseKatarina PerssonNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 10, Iss 1, Pp 1-12 (2020) |
