Caspase-11, a cytosolic endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide: LPS) receptor, mediates pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death. Caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis mediates lethality in endotoxemia, but it is unclear how LPS is delivered into the cytosol for the activation of caspase-11. Here we discovered that hepatocyte-released high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was required for caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis and lethality in endotoxemia and bacterial sepsis. Mechanistically, hepatocyte-released HMGB1 bound LPS and targeted its internalization into the lysosomes of macrophages and endothelial cells via the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE). Subsequently, HMGB1 permeabilized the phospholipid bilayer in the acidic environment of lysosomes. This resulted in LPS leakage into the cytosol and caspase-11 activation. Depletion of hepatocyte HMGB1, inhibition of hepatocyte HMGB1 release, neutralizing extracellular HMGB1, or RAGE deficiency prevented caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis and death in endotoxemia and bacterial sepsis. These findings indicate that HMGB1 interacts with LPS to mediate caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis in lethal sepsis.
Extensive studies demonstrate the importance of the STING1 (also known as STING) protein as a signaling hub that coordinates immune and autophagic responses to ectopic DNA in the cytoplasm. Here, we report a nuclear function of STING1 in driving the activation of the transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) to control gut microbiota composition and homeostasis. This function was independent of DNA sensing and autophagy and showed competitive inhibition with cytoplasmic cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)-AMP synthase (CGAS)-STING1 signaling. Structurally, the cyclic dinucleotide binding domain of STING1 interacted with the AHR N-terminal domain. Proteomic analyses revealed that STING1-mediated transcriptional activation of AHR required additional nuclear partners, including positive and negative regulatory proteins. Although AHR ligands could rescue colitis pathology and dysbiosis in wild-type mice, this protection was abrogated by mutational inactivation of STING1. These findings establish a key framework for understanding the nuclear molecular crosstalk between the microbiota and the immune system.
