Abstract
Inflammatory reactions to ssRNA viruses are induced by the endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 8. TLR7/8-mediated inflammatory reaction results in activation of the Nalp3 inflammasome via an unknown mechanism. Here we report for the first time that TLR7/8 mediate activation of xanthine oxidase (XOD) in an HIF-1?-dependent manner. XOD produces uric acid and reactive oxygen species, which could activate Nalp3 and therefore induce activation of caspase 1, known to convert inactive pro-IL-1? into active IL-1?. Specific inhibition of the XOD activity attenuates TLR7/8-mediated activation of caspase 1 and IL-1? release. These results were obtained using human THP-1 myeloid macrophages. The findings were verified by conducting in vivo experiments on mice.
