AI Article Synopsis

  • NLRP3 is an inflammasome receptor that gets activated by signals that disturb cell balance and is recruited to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through electrostatic interactions with lipids.
  • A conserved cysteine residue (Cys-130) is shown to be critical for NLRP3's membrane association via a dynamic S-acylation cycle, which helps retain NLRP3 at the Golgi.
  • Disruption in Golgi function from nigericin treatment leads to NLRP3 being trapped at the Golgi due to reduced de-acylation, linking Golgi homeostasis directly to NLRP3's activity through its acylation state.

Article Abstract

NLRP3 is an inflammasome seeding pattern recognition receptor activated in response to multiple danger signals which perturb intracellular homeostasis. Electrostatic interactions between the NLRP3 polybasic (PB) region and negatively charged lipids on the trans-Golgi network (TGN) have been proposed to recruit NLRP3 to the TGN. In this study, we demonstrate that membrane association of NLRP3 is critically dependant on S-acylation of a highly conserved cysteine residue (Cys-130), which traps NLRP3 in a dynamic S-acylation cycle at the Golgi, and a series of hydrophobic residues preceding Cys-130 which act in conjunction with the PB region to facilitate Cys-130 dependent Golgi enrichment. Due to segregation from Golgi localised thioesterase enzymes caused by a nigericin induced breakdown in Golgi organisation and function, NLRP3 becomes immobilised on the Golgi through reduced de-acylation of its Cys-130 lipid anchor, suggesting that disruptions in Golgi homeostasis are conveyed to NLRP3 through its acylation state. Thus, our work defines a nigericin sensitive S-acylation cycle that gates access of NLRP3 to the Golgi.

The metastasis or recurrence of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the primary cause of tumour-related deaths. Patients with high-risk RMS have poor prognosis with a 5-year overall survival rate of 20-30%. The lack of specific drug-targeted therapy and chemotherapy resistance are the main reasons for treatment failure.

Monitoring of intracellular pH is of great importance since deviation of this parameter from the "normal" magnitudes can be considered as an indicator of various pathologies. Thus, the development of new efficient and biocompatible sensors suitable for application in biological systems and capable of quantitative pH estimation remains an urgent chemical task. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of phosphorescent rhenium [Re(NN)(CO)(PR)] complexes based on the NN diimine ligands containing pH-responsive carboxylic groups and styrene-containing phosphine ligands.

12,13-dihydroxy-9z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) is a linoleic acid diol derived from cytochrome P-450 (CYP) epoxygenase and epoxide hydrolase (EH) metabolism. 12,13-DiHOME is associated with inflammation and mitochondrial damage in the innate immune response, but how 12,13-DiHOME contributes to these effects is unclear. We hypothesized that 12,13-DiHOME enhances macrophage inflammation through effects on NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation.

Rapid and accurate identification of the intracellular pH is critical in the field of biomedicine. In this work, we effectively identified and quantified the intracellular pH and its distribution at the single-cell level using an image sensor based on an ordinary bright-field optical microscope that divided the cell staining images into their red (R) and blue (B) channels. The grayscale of the R and B channels was subjected to a ratiometric operation to generate ratiometric grayscale cell images of the microscope.
