摘要

Background The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein complex composed of several proteins, including NLRP3, ASC, Nek-7, and pro-caspase-1. Many immune cell populations express the NLRP3 inflammasome. In the presence of various exogenous stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or extracellular ATP, the NLRP3 inflammasome components assemble and become activated, releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. One of the critical steps in inflammasome assembly is the recruitment of ASC and the formation of ASC protein aggregates called specks. These specks are large enough to be measured through microscopy, and the ASC speck count indicates NLRP3 activation. The release of IL-1β and IL-18 and the upregulation of NLRP3 inflammasome component genes have been observed in many inflammatory and hematological disorders, suggesting the NLRP3 pathway is involved in the disease pathogenesis of many diseases. Purpose HT-6184 is a small molecule that blocks the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome through allosteric binding to the protein Nek7. Here we demonstrate the ability of HT-6184 to modulate NLRP3 inflammasome formation by measuring ASC specks using a human monocytic THP-1 cell line engineered to express a GFP-labeled ASC protein. Methods THP1-ASC-GFP cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 100 μg/mL normocin, and 100 μg/mL Pen-Strep. Cells were seeded at 400,000 cells per well in a 96-well plate and left overnight. Cells were then treated with vehicle or LPS for 3 hours. Following LPS stimulation, cells were treated with vehicle or HT-6184 for 2 hours. After incubation, cells were treated with 5 μM Nigericin and imaged in 3-minute intervals for 1 hour. The images were analyzed for specks. Results By treating THP1-ASC-GFP with LPS and nigericin, we induced the formation of ASC specks and visualized them using fluorescent microscopy. Cells treated with 200 nM HT-6184 had significantly fewer ASC specks than the LPS and nigericin-treated control. ASC speck inhibition by HT-6184 was dose-dependent, as inhibition of speck formation decreased with lower doses of HT-6184. Conclusions HT-6184 effectively prevents the formation of ASC specks in THP-1-ASC-GFP cells. Since THP-1 cells are a monocytic cell line, this data suggests our ability to inhibit the NLRP3 pathway in hematological disorders effectively. By preventing inflammasome formation and activation, we expect to be able to reduce disease burden in hematological diseases.
