PG - 120127 LID - S0024-3205(21)01114-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120127 [doi] AB - The NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multi-protein intracellular complex that activates proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18. Inflammasome activation is related to metabolic inflammation, such as the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Fasiglifam (TAK875), a selective G-protein coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) agonist with high affinity, significantly improves glucose-dependent insulin secretion and weight gain without hypoglycemia. Interestingly, we found that two GPR40 agonists, TAK875 and AMG1638, suppressed activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). TAK875 inhibited inflammasome activation by blocking formation of apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), an inflammasome component. TAK875 also suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis of BMDMs. Moreover, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB)-dependent priming of the NLRP3 inflammasome was partially inhibited by TAK875 and AMG1638. The intracellular Ca(2+) increase caused by ATP, nigericin (pore-forming toxin), or endoplasmic reticulum stress activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Pre-exposure of BMDMs to TAK875 suppressed the ATP-induced intracellular Ca(2+) increase, which was reversed by thapsigargin, a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor. Oral administration of mice with TAK875 suppressed the increase in serum IL-1beta in mice treated with lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine in vivo. These findings indicate that the free fatty acid-sensing GPR40 plays a key role in the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
