NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis is a crucial event in the preeclamptic pathogenesis, tightly linked with the uteroplacental TLR4/NF-κB signaling. Trophoblastic glycometabolism reprogramming has now been noticed in the preeclampsia pathogenesis, plausibly modulated by the TLR4/NF-κB signaling as well. Intriguingly, cellular pyroptosis and metabolic phenotypes may be inextricably linked and interacted. Metformin (MET), a widely accepted NF-κB signaling inhibitor, may have therapeutic potential in preeclampsia while the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the role of MET on trophoblastic pyroptosis and its relevant metabolism reprogramming. The safety of pharmacologic MET concentration to trophoblasts was verified at first, which had no adverse effects on trophoblastic viability. Pharmacological MET concentration suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis partly through inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signaling in preeclamptic trophoblast models induced via low-dose lipopolysaccharide. Besides, MET corrected the glycometabolic reprogramming and oxidative stress partly via suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB signaling and blocking transcription factor NF-κB1 binding on the promoter PFKFB3, a potent glycolytic accelerator. Furthermore, PFKFB3 can also enhance the NF-κB signaling, reduce NLRP3 ubiquitination, and aggravate pyroptosis. However, MET suppressed pyroptosis partly via inhibiting PFKFB3 as well. These results provided that the TLR4/NF-κB/PFKFB3 pathway may be a novel link between metabolism reprogramming and NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis in trophoblasts. Further, MET alleviates the NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis, which partly relies on the regulation of TLR4/NF-κB/PFKFB3-dependent glycometabolism reprogramming and redox disorders. Hence, our results provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and propose MET as a potential therapy.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and angiotensin II (Ang II) play an important role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease in part by inducing the cardiac hypertrophic response and oxidative stress. Recently we demonstrated that angiotensin induced hypertensive response is attenuated in mice lacking the gene for TNF-α. In this study, we examined whether Ang II induced cardiac hypertrophy and increased oxidative stress is mediated through TNF-α. Methods and results: Male TNF-α (−/−) and age matched control (WT) mice were subcutaneously implanted with osmotic minipumps containing Ang II (1 μg/kg/min) or saline for 14 days. Human recombinant TNF-α was injected in one group of TNF-α (−/−) mice (10 μg/kg/day) for 14 days. In WT+Ang mice, a temporal increase in blood pressure was observed during the study as measured by radio telemetry transmitters. At the end of the study, echocardiography revealed an increase in thickness and dimensions of left ventricle (LV) and decreased fractional shortening (%FS) in WT+Ang mice. Real time RT-PCR showed that Ang II- infusion resulted in an increase in heart/bodyweight ratio and of cardiac hypertrophy markers ANP and BNP, and profibrotic genes Collagen Type I, Collagen Type II, and TGF-β in WT mice. Electron Spin resonance spectroscopy revealed an increase in total ROS, superoxide and peroxynitrite in the WT+ANG mice when compared to control WT mice. However, these changes were all attenuated in TNF-α (−/−)+Ang mice. Ang II infusion also increased significantly the mRNA expression of gp91Phox, NOX-1, NOX-4 and AT1R in the LV of WT mice, but not in TNF-α (−/−) mice. Interestingly, injection of TNF-α in the TNF-α (−/−) mice, treated with Ang II resulted in increased cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative stress. Conclusions: Findings from the present study suggest that TNF-α plays an important role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative stress in Ang II-induced hypertension.

Abstract Background The activation of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis has been shown to play a vital role in the pathology of manganese (Mn)-induced neurotoxicity. Sodium para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS-Na) has a positive effect on the treatment of manganism. However, the mechanism is still unclear. We hypothesized that PAS-Na might act through NLRP3. Methods The microglial cell line BV2 and male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to investigate the impacts of PAS-Na on Mn-induced NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis. The related protein of the NF-κB pathway and NLRP3-inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis was detected by western blot. The reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. The activation of microglia and the gasdermin D (GSDMD) were detected by immunofluorescence staining. Results Our results showed that Mn treatment induced oxidative stress and activated the NF-κB pathway by increasing the phosphorylation of p65 and IkB-α in BV2 cells and in the basal ganglia of rats. PAS-Na could alleviate Mn-induced oxidative stress damage by inhibiting ROS generation, increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels, thereby reducing the phosphorylation of p65 and IkB-α. Besides, Mn treatment could activate the NLRP3 pathway and promote the secretion of IL-18 and IL-1β, mediating pyroptosis in BV2 cells and in the basal ganglia and hippocampus of rats. But an inhibitor of NF-κb (JSH-23) treatment could significantly reduce LDH release, the expression of NLRP3 and Cleaved CASP1 protein and IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA level in BV2 cells. Interestingly, the effect of PAS-Na treatment in Mn-treated BV2 cells is similar to those of JSH-23. Besides, immunofluorescence results showed that PAS-Na reduced the increase number of activated microglia, which stained positively for GSDMD. Conclusion PAS-Na antagonized Mn-induced NLRP3 inflammasome dependent pyroptosis through inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation and oxidative stress.
