NLRP3 inflammasome activation by mycobacterial ESAT-6 and dsRNA in intraocular tuberculosis
چکیده انگلیسی
We found that ESAT-6 induced caspase-1 activation and inflammasome priming in mouse RPE cells, substantially more in wild-type than in Tlr2/3/4/7/9−/−, Myd88−/− or Nlrp3−/− RPE cells. Sub-retinal ESAT-6 injection resulted in greater RPE degeneration in wild-type than in Nlrp3−/− mice. In human ocular TB tissue sections, NLRP3 staining was noted in retina as well as RPE. Mycobacterial RNA, specifically its double stranded component, also induced caspase-1 activation, and the double stranded RNA was immunolocalized to human ocular TB sections. Our observations suggest that inflammasome activation in RPE by viable M. tuberculosis could potentially contribute to human intraocular TB.
