NLRP3 Inflammasome in Neurodegenerative
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/genes11020131

Inflammasomes are intracellular multiprotein complexes in the cytoplasm that regulate inflammation activation in the innate immune system in response to pathogens and to host self-derived molecules. The NLRP3 belongs to the subfamily of NLRP which activates caspase 1, thus causing the production of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin 1β and interleukin 18) and pyroptosis. This inflammasome is involved in multiple neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and gout.

1. The NLRP3 Inflammasome

NLRP3 was initially characterized in an autoinflammatory disease named Muckle–Wells syndrome [1]. The NLRP3 inflammasome complex is mainly composed of three units: a receptor protein (NLRP3), an adaptor protein (ASC), and an effector protein (caspase 1) [2][3]. The receptor protein acts as a sensor that is switched on after sensing a PAMP and/or DAMP. The ASC adaptor protein contains two death domains: The N-terminal pyrin domain (PYD) and the C-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD) [3][4], which serves as a mediator between the sensor and effector protein.
The NLRP3 complex is primarily expressed in immune cells such as inflammatory and antigen-presenting cells (APCs). It is comprised of central nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NBD), a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat LRR domain, and an N-terminal pyrin domain. NLRP3 as a receptor protein is stimulated by the presence of PAMPs and/or DAMPs including nucleic acids, lipooligosaccharide (LPS) and muramyl dipeptide (MDP) [5][6]. NLRP3 activation is divided into two steps: priming and activation [7]. The priming signal (first signal) includes a large number of DAMPs and/or PAMPs which activate PRR (such as TLR) signaling to stimulate the nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) pathway. This pathway promotes the transcription and expression of NLRP3 along with pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 that are translocated from the nucleus to cytoplasm in an inactive form [8]. Moreover, the priming signal includes injury-related factors such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein [9], whose accumulation has been identified in metabolically induced obesity-related diseases. The activating signal (second signal)—that initiates NLRP3 inflammasome stimulation—originates from a variety of activators such as PAMPs, DAMPs, exogenous adenosine, amyloid β (Aβ), mitochondrial DNA, or substances (e.g., asbestos and aluminum or silica and uric acid crystals) [10][11][12]. Furthermore, ATP-induced P2X7R activation raises K+ efflux, which is also critical for NLRP3 activation [13]. Eventually, ASC via the CARD domain mediates the recruitment of pro-caspase 1, which drives NLRP3 inflammasome assembly. The proximity to neighboring pro-caspase 1 leads to its autocleavage and conversion into mature caspase 1, which subsequently cleaves the precursor cytokines (pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18) into their mature forms (IL-1β and IL-18) [14][15]. This event next initiates pyroptosis, an inflammatory type of programmed cell death that is controlled by gasdermin D (GSDMD) [16]. In pyroptosis, pores are formed in the plasma membrane as the N-terminal fragment of GSDMD detaches from its C-terminal inhibitory domain and attaches to phosphoinositides, which oligomerize to produce membrane pores [17][18]. The formation of membrane pores disturbs the cellular osmotic potential, thereby leading to cell swelling and lysis with the ultimate release of mature IL-1β and IL-18 into the extracellular environment [16].
So far, numerous factors have been found to initiate NLRP3 inflammasome activation; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear and represents an area of active investigation. A possible mechanism underlying the initiation of the NLRP3 inflammasome includes reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidized mitochondrial DNA release, K+ efflux, a cathepsin B release from disrupted lysosomes, changes in extracellular Ca2+ ion gradients, and the formation of transmembrane pores [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Moreover, NIMA-related kinase 7 (NEK7) has been reported to bind to the LRR domain of NLRP3 thus leading to its activation and oligomerization (Figure 1) [25]. On the other hand, opposing evidence highlights the controversial role of mitochondrial ROS in the inhibition of NLRP3 activation [26]. Moreover, studies have revealed that post-translational modifications are significantly involved in NLRP3 activation [14][27][28]. Nonetheless, ubiquitination and post-translational modifications at the priming step have been found to induce NLRP3 inflammasome inactivation [29][30], whereas dephosphorylation and deubiquitination cause its activation [28][31]. Additionally, protein kinase A–associated NLRP3 phosphorylation on residue Ser291 is important for NLRP3 inflammasome inactivation [32]. Moreover, recent studies uncovered the function of microRNAs in the regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. For example, myeloid-derived miR-223 controls intestinal inflammation by repressing the NLRP3 inflammasome [33]. miR-33 has also been demonstrated to regulate the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages because this pathway plays a critical part in the development of rheumatoid arthritis [34]. This observation provides further insights into the events that epigenetic regulators induce in this inflammasome.
Figure 1. The mechanism of action of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. The priming step involves the recognition of a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) or a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) by a specific pattern recognition receptors (PRR), which activates the NF-κB pathway to release precursor forms of IL-1β and IL-18 into the cytoplasm. NLRP3 is turned on by lysosome-mediated cathepsin B, K+ efflux, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via dysfunctional mitochondria, the release of mitochondrial DNA in oxidized form, and alterations in Ca2+ concentration. The oligomerization and activation of NLRP3 take place after it interacts with the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of NEK7. This event is followed by the cleavage of pro-caspase 1 into caspase 1, which converts pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 into their respective mature forms, which are finally released from the cell via pores generated by gasdermin D (GSDMD) (N-terminal fragments).
Thus, numerous stimuli are recognized by their receptors and serve as first, second, or both signals to make NLRP3 active; nevertheless, further research is necessary to determine the exact mechanism.

2. Roles of NLRP3 Inflammasomes in Metabolic and Neurodegenerative Diseases

NLRP3 was initially characterized as a major causative factor of inflammation owing to NLRP3’ involvement in a group of rare heterogeneous autoinflammatory conditions, known as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome [35]. On the other hand, its activation by damage-associated stimuli activates innate response to tissue damage. Therefore, inflammasomes significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases including dementia, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and gout [36][37][38]. The most common form of dementia (60–80%) is Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which leads to neurodegeneration by various mechanisms such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a strong correlation to increased risk of AD [39][40][41]. This association involves increased accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) which is confirmed in various mouse models [42][43][44]. Obesity, T2D, and AD are affected by the involvement of NLRP3; here, the researchers focus on their association with each other from a therapeutic point of view.

2.1. Obesity and T2D

Anomalous activation of the innate immune system significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders such as T2D [45][46]. The latter is a chronic condition that was formerly termed as adult-onset diabetes, which is characterized by hyperglycemia and—according to more recent insights—by relative insulin deficiency triggered by pancreatic β-cell dysfunction [47]. In addition to other factors, obesity is a major factor responsible for T2D worldwide. Its prevalence may further increase globally, with the highest projected prevalence rates in developing or low-income countries [48]. Therefore, deeper insights into obesity pathogenesis as a significant risk factor for T2D hold huge promise for obesity prevention and treatment [49][50].
Obesity has multifactorial pathogenesis, which includes the growth of adipocytes and increased infiltration of macrophages into adipose tissue (AT) thereby activating inflammatory pathways and causing chronic inflammation [51]. Obesity-induced alterations in adipocytes and macrophages cause insulin resistance (IR) with subsequent induction of AT fibrosis [52]. Besides energy conservation, ATs secrete adipokines, molecules that contribute (via endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine signaling mechanisms) to various physiological and pathophysiological conditions, thereby regulating inflammation and immunity, insulin sensitivity, and food intake [53]. Furthermore, a reduction in the secretion of insulin-sensitive adipokines accompanied by oversecretion of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) is closely related to the etiology of various metabolic conditions. Other studies also point to the participation of NLRP3 in obesity because of its overexpression in AT [54][55][56][57][58][59]. Moreover, the results of studies on mouse models of obesity are consistent with this observation [60][61]. The release of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18) is the main culprit behind the AT inflammation in obese subjects [62] and thus this contributes to the development of T2D. The detailed function of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the pathogenesis of T2D is explained in a systematic review [63].
The activation of innate-immunity cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) owing to the emergence of a chronic proinflammatory state has been closely associated with IR [64][65]. Furthermore, the activation of inflammasomes is due to the priming signals produced by the engagement of PRRs such as TLRs [46][66][67]. These events contribute to the development of IR and liver fat storage in mice with diet-induced obesity because of macrophage infiltration into AT [68][69][70]. Additionally, overexpression of NLRP3 inflammasome components in AT is associated with the pathogenesis of obesity and therefore is directly associated with T2D, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction [54][71]. Increased amyloid polypeptide deposition in pancreatic islets is one of the key inducers of NLRP3 activation [72][73] via lysosomal disruption and high ROS concentrations in pancreas-infiltrating macrophages [74]. Additionally, in comparison to wild-type mice, NLRP3 knockout mice show substantial improvement in insulin sensitivity during a high-fat diet; this approach provides protection against obesity [54][75][76]. Activation of NLRP3 causes oversecretion of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, which impair islet cell function and induce dysregulation of blood glucose levels, thus resulting in the development of T2D [77][78]. The surface expression of functional IL-1β receptors on pancreatic β cells and infiltrating macrophages further enhances the production of IL-1β and the diffusion of inflammatory signals through the NF-kB pathway, which might ultimately cause β-cell dysfunction [77][79]. Even the early stage of T2D is characterized by dysfunctional β cells and a decrease in insulin production.

2.2. Alzheimer’s Disease

AD is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is clinically characterized by dementia and progressive cognitive impairment, which are caused by two main pathologies: Aβ plaques and neurofibrillary tangles [80]. The estimated yearly incidence and prevalence of AD rise significantly with age. The incidence rate varies among different age groups: among people aged between 65 and 69, the approximate incidence is 0.4%; in people aged over 90, this rate is nearly 10% [81]. A significant contributing factor to the pathogenesis of AD includes aggregation of Aβ into neurotoxic plaques [82]. Accumulation of Aβ launches several cellular responses mediated by microglia, a type of neuroimmune cell located throughout the brain [83]. Recent studies revealed that Aβ can initiate NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in microglia [84], which causes the production of proinflammatory cytokines and consequently induces inflammation [85]. Studies have uncovered the involvement of several inflammatory components including prostaglandins, chemokines, and cytokines that are expressed in postmortem brain tissues isolated from patients with neurodegenerative disorders including AD; moreover, their elevated expression has been identified in cerebrospinal fluid [86][87]. Astrocytes and microglia are the mediators of innate immunity in the brain and they sense pathogens or other inflammatory signals; this property contributes to the activation and assembly of inflammasomes and ultimately leads to caspase-1–induced maturation of the IL-1β cytokine [88][89]. Although a normal level of IL-1β is present in a healthy brain, its overproduction may cause inflammation and the associated pathological complications.
On the other hand, various studies have revealed the overexpression of IL-1β in microglia in the vicinity of Aβ plaques in animal models and AD patients [90][91]. The microglial cells in the CNS phagocytose Aβ plaques; this process initiates lysosomal destabilization and the cytosolic production of cathepsin B, which may act as an endogenous signal and make NLRP3 active [84]. Aβ-mediated NLRP3 activation has been found to upregulate IL-1β, which promotes the formation of microglial cells and the accumulation of neurotoxic inflammatory factors [84][92]. Moreover, NLRP3 triggering plays a substantial role in the pathogenesis of amyloidosis. Similarly, in a transgenic mouse model of AD, an NLRP3 knockout protects from spatial memory dysfunction and reduces the deposition of Aβ [93]. The recruitment of microglia in AD is due to the secretion of neurotoxic components produced by senile neurofibrillary plaques [94]; these cells then phagocytose Aβ deposits and further secrete proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines to aggravate the neurotoxic effects of Aβ. This observation further supports the functions performed by the activation of endogenous NLRP3 in the brain microglial cells because of formation of a plaque [93]. Therefore, the AD pathogenesis is strongly associated with the microglia-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Additionally, the restoration of Myb1 (TOM1) also reduces Aβ pathology, thereby highlighting the importance of endosomal adaptors and their associated factors in AD pathogenesis [95]. Depending on AD progression and stage, microglia upon activation adopt the M1 phenotype, and the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, induces an aberration in microglial cells; this event has a negative impact on the Aβ clearance system [96][97]. Nevertheless, an M2-like phenotype is associated with the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to protection against damage induced by inflammation and promote tissue remodeling [98]. Furthermore, activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes induces the extracellular release of ASC particles that act as DAMPs and consequently attract surrounding macrophages [99]. These micrometer-sized ASC specks have been reported to establish a bond with Aβ and promote plaque formation and misfolded protein accumulation, as observed in the APP/PS1 model of AD [100].
Moreover, the most reliable factor underlying the pathogenesis of AD is chronic localized neuroinflammation. Dysregulation of the interaction pattern between microglia and brain neurons is thought to be a contributing factor of AD pathogenesis [101][102]. The overproduction of cytotoxic molecules and proinflammatory cytokines by brain-resident immune cells, such as microglia, launches signaling pathways in neurons, consequently inducing brain tissue damage [103]. Numerous studies have pointed out that overexpression of IL-1β aggravates AD pathogenesis, owing to tau hyperphosphorylation [104], which inhibits long-term potentiation and affects synaptic plasticity [105][106]. Furthermore, IL-1β inhibition in a mouse model has yielded disease-modifying improvements in the pathology of AD [107]. A recent study suggests that a small-molecule NLRP3 inhibitor (JC-124) exerts a beneficial effect on a mouse model of AD [108], similarly to a knockout mouse model that manifested an improvement in spatial memory [93]. Neuronal damage results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6) and triggers apoptotic mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (MAPK) [109]. P38 MAPK causes glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity via the N-methyl D-aspartic acid receptor [110][111]. Furthermore, IL-1β production induces nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) surrounding the hippocampus; this induction consequently causes damage and neuronal death [112]. IL-1β expression is significantly associated with NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis induced by the inflammasome is an active area of research. Accordingly, deep insight into the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome regulation is urgently needed to further unravel AD pathogenesis.
The aforementioned studies have provided significant insights into the role NLRP3 inflammasomes play in AD progression; therefore, detailed investigation into the mechanism of inflammasome activation and its contribution to neuroinflammation will be worthwhile. Moreover, Aβ accumulation induces microglial activation via advanced glycation end product (AGE) pathways and TLR [113][114]. All these results support the usefulness of NLRP3 inflammasomes and of their downstream regulators in the identification of protein aggregates or peptides that can drive the pathogenesis of such diseases as systemic amyloidosis, prion diseases, AD, and T2D. Targeting of components of the NLRP3 inflammasome, especially at the initial stages of the disease, may reduce the formation and aggregation of Aβ plaques to delay neurological damage in these patients.
