Formatted abstract Macrophage pre-treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) boosts subsequent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which controls caspase-1-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine maturation. Previous work has attributed this phenomenon (known as LPS ‘priming’) to LPS-dependent induction of NLRP3 expression. Whilst this plays a role, here we demonstrate that rapid LPS priming of NLRP3 inflammasomeactivation can occur independently of NLRP3 induction, since the priming effect of LPS is still apparent at short pre-treatment times in which NLRP3 protein expression remains unchanged. Furthermore, rapid LPS priming is still evident in Nlrp3−/− primary macrophages with NLRP3 expression reconstituted using a constitutive promoter. Similarly, we found that LPS potentiates AIM2 inflammasomeactivation to submaximal doses of cytosolic DNA without concomitant upregulation of AIM2 protein expression. Our data suggest that, in addition to augmenting NLRP3 inflammasome activity via NLRP3 induction, LPS boosts caspase-1 activation by the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes by an acute mechanism that is independent of inflammasomesensorinduction.
