PG - 166146 LID - S0925-4439(21)00079-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbadis.2021.166146 [doi] AB - The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been implicated in podocyte injury and glomerular sclerosis in response to hyperhomocysteinemia (hHcy). However, it remains unknown how the products of NLRP3 inflammasome in cytoplasm are secreted out of podocytes. In the present study, we tested whether exosome release serves as a critical mechanism to mediate the action of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in hHcy-induced glomerular injury. By various approaches, we found that hHcy induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and neutrophil infiltration in glomeruli of WT/WT mice. Lysosome-MVB interaction in glomeruli remarkably decreased in WT/WT mice fed with FF diet, leading to elevation of urinary exosome excretion of these mice. Podocyte-derived exosomes containing pro-inflammatory cytokines increased in urine of WT/WT mice in response to hHcy. The release of inflammatory exosomes from podocytes was prevented by Smpd1 gene deletion but enhanced by podocyte-specific Smpd1 gene overexpression (Smpd1 encodes Asm in mice). Pathologically, hHcy-induced podocyte injury and glomerular sclerosis were blocked by Smpd1 gene knockout but amplified by podocyte-specific Smpd1 gene overexpression. Taken together, our results suggest that Asm-ceramide signaling pathway contributes to NLRP3 inflammasome activation and robust release of inflammatory exosomes in podocytes during hHcy, which together trigger local glomerular inflammation and sclerosis.
