Caspase-11 Activation in Response to Bacterial Secretion Systems that Access the Host Cytosol
Abstract: Inflammasome activation is important for antimicrobial defense because it induces cell death and regulates the secretion of IL-1 family cytokines, which play a critical role in inflammatory responses. The inflammasome activates caspase-1 to process and secrete IL-1β. However, the mechanisms governing IL-1α release are less clear. Recently, a non-canonical inflammasome was described that activates caspase-11 and mediates pyroptosis and release of IL-1α and IL-1β. Caspase-11 activation in response to Gram-negati…

“…Caspase-11 has been shown to play a significant role during Klebsiella pneumoniae infection by recruiting neutrophils and controlling bacterial burdens (32), largely through the cleavage and release of IL-1␣. A similar association of caspase-11 and IL-1␣ and their role in neutrophil recruitment were observed in Legionella pneumophila and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infections (33). While we observed differences in oviduct neutrophil levels, we did not detect any differences in IL-1␣ levels in cervical secretions (see Fig.…”

“…4C, 6D, and 7B); this result is supported by previous observations that NLRP3 and ASC are dispensable for the restriction of L. pneumophila replication in vivo (18,19,35). Notably, caspase-11 facilitated the recruitment of neutrophils to the sites of infection via the induction of IL-1a (40). This feature should favor a role for caspase-11 in the restriction of L. pneumophila replication in vivo.…”
