PG - 771-781 LID - 10.1007/s12275-021-0692-9 [doi] AB - Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen responsible for neurolisteriosis, which is potentially lethal in immunocompromised individuals. Microglia are the main target cells for L. monocytogenes in central nervous system (CNS). However, the precise mechanisms by which they trigger neuroinflammatory processes remain unknown. The BV2 microglial cell line and a murine model of L. monocytogenes infection were used for experiments in this study. Listeria monocytogenes induced pyroptosis and nucleotide binding and oligomerization, leucine-rich repeat, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in BV2. Pharmacological inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome attenuated L. monocytogenes-induced pyroptosis. Moreover, inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) and extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) pathways induced a decrease in caspase1 activation and mature IL-1beta-17 secretion. Our collective findings support critical involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome in L. monocytogenes-induced neuroinflammation and, to an extent, ROS production. In addition, ERK and NF-kappaB signaling play an important role in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, both in vitro and in vivo. CI - (c) 2021. The Microbiological Society of Korea.
