Inhibiting NINJ1-dependent plasma membrane rupture protects against inflammasome-induced blood coagulation and inflammation

Systemic blood coagulation accompanies inflammation during severe infection like sepsis and COVID. We've previously established a link between pyroptosis, a vital defense mechanism against infection, and coagulopathy. During pyroptosis, the formation of gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pores on the plasma m...

Sumario:Systemic blood coagulation accompanies inflammation during severe infection like sepsis and COVID. We've previously established a link between pyroptosis, a vital defense mechanism against infection, and coagulopathy. During pyroptosis, the formation of gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pores on the plasma membrane leads to the release of tissue factor (TF)-positive microvesicles (MVs) that are procoagulant. Mice lacking GSDMD release fewer TF MVs. However, the specific mechanisms leading from activation of GSDMD to MV release remain unclear. Plasma membrane rupture (PMR) in pyroptosis was recently reported to be actively mediated by the transmembrane protein Ninjurin-1 (NINJ1). Here we show that NINJ1 promotes procoagulant MV release during pyroptosis. Haploinsuffciency or glycine inhibition of NINJ1 limited the release of procoagulant MVs and inflammatory cytokines and protected against blood coagulation and lethality triggered by bacterial flagellin. Our findings suggest a crucial role for NINJ1-dependent PMR in inflammasome-induced blood coagulation and inflammation.
