PG - 75-84 LID - S0891-5849(23)01115-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.11.014 [doi] AB - While antibiotics are designed to target bacteria specifically, most are known to affect host cell physiology. Certain classes of antibiotics have been reported to have immunosuppressive effects, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that doxycycline, a ribosomal-targeting antibiotic, effectively inhibited both mitochondrial translation and nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activation and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) production in bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). In addition, knockdown of mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (Mtfmt), which is rate limiting for mitochondrial translation, also resulted in the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activation and IL-1beta secretion. Furthermore, both doxycycline treatment and Mtfmt knockdown blocked the synthesis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the generation of oxidized mtDNA (Ox-mtDNA), which serves as a ligand for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In addition, in vivo results indicated that doxycycline mitigated NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent inflammation, including lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic inflammation and endometritis. Taken together, the results unveil the antibiotics targeting the mitoribosome have the ability to mitigate NLRP3 inflammasome activation by inhibiting mitochondrial translation and mtDNA synthesis thus opening up new possibilities for the treatment of NLRP3-related diseases.
