Preeclampsia is associated with hyperuricemia, which correlates with the disease severity. Levels of circulating uric acid increase before the clinical manifestations, suggesting they may be causally related. Uric acid, or monosodium urate (MSU), activates the Nod-like receptor, Nalp3, leading to inflammasome activation and IL-1β processing. Since preeclampsia is associated with placental immune/inflammatory dysregulation, we sought to determine in the trophoblast, the presence of the Nalp3 inflammasome, and the effect of MSU on its activation. Isolated first and third trimester trophoblast were assessed for expression of the inflammasome components, Nalp1, Nalp3 and ASC. First trimester trophoblast cells were incubated with or without MSU, after which, IL-1β secretion and processing and caspase-1 activation was determined. Trophoblast cells expressed Nalp1, Nalp3 and ASC under basal conditions. Following incubation with MSU, first trimester trophoblast IL-1β secretion was upregulated. This correlated with increased expression levels of active IL-1β and active caspase-1. ASC knockdown reduced MSU-induced IL-1β secretion. These findings demonstrate that uric acid activates the inflammasome in the trophoblast, leading to IL-1β production. This may provide a novel mechanism for the induction of inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface leading to placental dysfunction and adverse pregnancy outcome, including preeclampsia.
