Inflammasomes are cytosolic sensors of pathogens. Their activation can lead to the induction of caspase-1-mediated inflammatory responses and the release of several proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β. There is a complex relationship between viral infection and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for antiviral immunity, while excessive NLRP3 inflammasome activation may lead to excessive inflammation and pathological damage. Meanwhile, viruses have evolved strategies to suppress the activation of inflammasome signaling pathways, thus escaping immune responses. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a positive single-strand RNA virus, on the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. CVB3-infected mice had significantly lower production of IL-1β and a lower level of NLRP3 in the small intestine after LPS stimulation. Furthermore, we found that CVB3 infection inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β production in macrophages by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway and ROS production. Additionally, CVB3 infection increased the susceptibility of mice to Escherichia coli infection by decreasing IL-1β production. Collectively, our study revealed a novel mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by suppressing the NF-κB pathway and ROS production in LPS-induced macrophages. Our findings may provide new ideas for antiviral treatment and drug development for CVB3 infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D000071199 NLR Family, Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 Protein An NLR protein that contains an N-terminal PYRIN DOMAIN and ATP-binding site and 9 C-terminal LEUCINE-rich repeats; it is expressed primarily by MACROPHAGES. It is a core component of the INFLAMMASOME and directs its assembly in response to pathogen infection and damage-associated stimuli. Mutations in the NLRP3 gene are associated with FAMILIAL COLD AUTOINFLAMMATORY SYNDROME.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
