We aimed to analyze the potential involvement of inflammasomes in obesity-associated CC.Methods: Ninety-nine volunteers [61 with obesity (OB) and 38 normoponderal (NP)] further subclassified according to the approved protocol for the diagnosis of CC (58 without CC and 41 with CC) were included in the case–control study.Results: CC (P< 0.01) and obesity (P< 0.01) were accompanied by increased mRNA levels of NLRP3, NLRP6, ASC, IL1B and NOD2 in VAT. Contrarily, patients with CC exhibited a downregulation of NLRP6 and IL18 in their colon. Additionally, we revealed that the decreased Nlrp1 (P< 0.05), Nlrp3 (P< 0.01) and Nlrp6 (P< 0.01) mRNA levels in the colon from obese rats significantly increase (P< 0.05) after caloric restriction. Adipocyte-conditioned media obtained from subjects with obesity reduced (P< 0.01) the mRNA of NLRP3 as well as molecules involved in maintaining the intestinal integrity (MUC2, CLDN1 and TJP1) and the anti-inflammatory factors FGF21, KLF4, and IL33 and in HT-29 cells. We also found that the knockdown of NLRP6 in HT-29 cells significantly upregulated (P< 0.05) the mRNA of NLRP1 and NLRP3 and inhibited (P< 0.05) the expression levels of MUC2. Finally, we showed that the incubation of HT-29 with Akkermansia muciniphila influence (P< 0.05) the inflammasome expression profile as well as intestinal integrity-related genes and aberrant inflammation.Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that the downregulated levels of NLRP6 and IL18 in the colon from patients with CC may be responsible for a reduced intestinal-barrier integrity, triggering local inflammation, which in turn acts on the dysfunctional AT in obesity, increasing the expression of different inflammasome components and flaring up a vicious cycle of uncontrollable inflammatory cascades that favours a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment.Keywords: inflammasome, NLRP, inflammation, colon cancer, obesity, adipose tissue, Akkermansia muciniphila
