Receptor interacting protein kinase 2-mediated mitophagy regulates inflammasome activation during virus infection

TLDR
A role for NOD2-RIPK2 signaling is demonstrated in protection against virally triggered immunopathology by negatively regulating activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and production of IL-18 via ULK1-dependent mitophagy.
Abstract
NOD2 receptor and the cytosolic protein kinase RIPK2 regulate NF-κB and MAP kinase signaling during bacterial infections, but the role of this immune axis during viral infections has not been addressed. We demonstrate that Nod2(-/-) and Ripk2(-/-) mice are hypersusceptible to infection with influenza A virus. Ripk2(-/-) cells exhibited defective autophagy of mitochondria (mitophagy), leading to enhanced mitochondrial production of superoxide and accumulation of damaged mitochondria, which resulted in greater activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and production of IL-18. RIPK2 regulated mitophagy in a kinase-dependent manner by phosphorylating the mitophagy inducer ULK1. Accordingly, Ulk1(-/-) cells exhibited enhanced mitochondrial production of superoxide and activation of caspase-1. These results demonstrate a role for NOD2-RIPK2 signaling in protection against virally triggered immunopathology by negatively regulating activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and production of IL-18 via ULK1-dependent mitophagy.

The inflammasome: a molecular platform triggering activation of inflammatory caspases and processing of proIL-beta.

TL;DR: In this article, the inflammasome is identified as a caspase-activating complex that comprises caspases-1, casp-5, Pycard/Asc, and NALP1, a Pyrin domain-containing protein sharing structural homology with NODs.

A role for mitochondria in NLRP3 inflammasome activation

TL;DR: It is shown that mitophagy/autophagy blockade leads to the accumulation of damaged, ROS-generating mitochondria, and this in turn activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, and may explain the frequent association of mitochondrial damage with inflammatory diseases.

Loss of the autophagy protein Atg16L1 enhances endotoxin-induced IL-1beta production.

TL;DR: It is shown that Atg16L1 (autophagy-related 16-like 1), which is implicated in Crohn's disease, regulates endotoxin-induced inflammasome activation in mice and is an essential component of the autophagic machinery responsible for control of the endot toxin-induced inflammatory immune response.
