Critical role for NLRP3 in necrotic death triggered by Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract

Induction of necrotic death in macrophages is a primary virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The ESX-1 secretion system and its substrate ESAT-6 are required for M. tuberculosis to induce necrosis, but host factors that mediate the ESAT-6-promoted necrosis remain unknown. Here we report that ESAT-6-promoted necrotic death in THP-1 human macrophages is dependent on the NLRP3 inflammasome, as shown by RNA interference and pharmacological inhibitions. Phagosomes containing ESAT-6-expressing M. tuberculosis recruit markers previously associated with damaged phagosomal membrane, such as galectin-3 and ubiquitinated protein aggregates. In addition, ESAT-6 promoted lysosomal permeabilization by M. tuberculosis. ESAT-6 mutants defective for ubiquitination were unable to trigger NLRP3 activation and necrotic death. Furthermore, Syk tyrosine kinase, recently implicated in NLRP3 activation during fungal and malarial infections, was necessary for mediating the ESAT-6-promoted necrosis and NLRP3 activation. Our results thus link phagosomal damage and Syk activity to NLRP3-mediated necrotic death triggered by M. tuberculosis ESAT-6 during infection.
