| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
S. sanguinis induced release of IL-1βby a murine dendritic cell (XS-106) and a murine bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMM) from C57BL/6, but not by BMMs from caspase-1-, ASC- and NLRP3-deficient mice. Cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, inhibited phagocytosis of S. sanguinis and reduced the IL-1β-inducing activity in XS106. The receptor P2X (P2XR)/P2YR inhibitor oxidized ATP, the P2X7R selective inhibitor KN-62 and the ATP-degradting enzyme apyrase downregulated IL-1βrelease in XS106.
Thus, this study suggests that S. sanguinis activates NLRP3 inflammasome to induce IL-1βrelease by murine dendritic cells and macrophages, and phagocytosis of the organism, interaction of ATP and its derivatives with P2X7 and P2Y receptors are involved in the expression of the activity.
