Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are inflammatory bowel diseases with high prevalence in humans. Nlrp3 interacts with the adaptor protein ASC to activate caspase-1 in inflammasomes, protein complexes responsible for the maturation and secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. Decreased expression of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) Nlrp3 was recently associated with susceptibility to Crohn’s disease. However, the role of Nlrp3 in colitis has not been characterized. Here, we show that mice deficient for Nlrp3 or the inflammasome effectors ASC and caspase-1 are highly susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Defective inflammasome activation leads to loss of epithelial integrity, resulting in systemic dispersion of commensal bacteria, massive leukocyte infiltration and increased chemokine production in the colon. As a consequence, significantly higher mortality rates were noted for mice lacking components of the Nlrp3 inflammasome. Therefore, the Nlrp3 inflammasome is critically involved in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis and protection against colitis.
