Popis: Respiratory silicosis is a preventable occupational disease that develops secondary to the aspiration of crystalline silicon dioxide (silica) into the lungs, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and IL-1β production. Cathepsin Z has been associated with the development of inflammation and IL-1β production; however, the mechanism of how cathepsin Z leads to IL-1β production is unknown. Here, the requirement for cathepsin Z in silicosis was determined using wildtype mice and mice deficient in cathepsin Z. The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages was studied using wildtype and cathepsin Z-deficient bone marrow-derived murine dendritic cells and the human monocytic cell line THP-1. Cells were activated with silica, and IL-1β release was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or IL-1β bioassays. The relative contribution of the active domain or integrin-binding domain of cathepsin Z was studied using recombinant cathepsin Z constructs and the α5 integrin neutralizing antibody. We report that the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin Z potentiates the development of inflammation associated with respiratory silicosis by augmenting NLRP3 inflammasome-derived IL-1β expression in response to silica. Secreted cathepsin Z functions non-proteolytically via the internal integrin-binding domain to impact caspase-1 activation and the production of active IL-1β through integrin α5 without affecting transcription levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components. This work reveals a regulatory pathway for the NLRP3 inflammasome that occurs in an outside-in fashion and provides a link between extracellular cathepsin Z and inflammation. Furthermore, it reveals a level of NLRP3 inflammasome regulation that has previously only been found downstream of extracellular pathogens.
