The non-canonical caspase-4 and canonical NLRP3 inflammasomes are both activated by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but the crosstalk between these two pathways remains unclear. Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2)/LPS complex, from pathogenic enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, activates caspase-4, gasdermin D (GSDMD), and the NLRP3 inflammasome in human THP-1 macrophages, but not mouse macrophages that lack the Stx receptor CD77. Stx2/LPS-mediated IL-1β secretion and pyroptosis are dependent on mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) downstream of the non-canonical caspase-4 inflammasome and cleaved GSDMD, which is enriched at the mitochondria. Blockade of caspase-4 activation and ROS generation as well as GSDMD deficiency significantly reduces Stx2/LPS-induced IL-1β production and pyroptosis. The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a significant role in amplifying Stx2/LPS-induced GSDMD cleavage and pyroptosis, with significant reduction of these responses in NLRP3-deficient THP-1 cells. Together, these data show that Stx2/LPS complex activates the non-canonical inflammasome and mitochondrial ROS upstream of the NLRP3 inflammasome to promote cytokine maturation and pyroptosis.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
