The human body is exposed to various particulates of industrial, environmental, or endogenous origin. Invading or intrinsic particulates can induce inflammation by aberrantly activating the immune system, thereby causing crystallopathies. When immune cells such as macrophages phagocytose the particulates, their phagolysosomal membranes undergo mechanical damage, eventually leading to pyroptotic cell death accompanied by the release of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1 alpha and IL-1 beta. The nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is responsible for particulate-induced IL-1 beta release and is therefore regarded as a potential therapeutic target for inflammation-mediated crystallopathies. However, IL-1 alpha is released after particulate stimulation in an NLRP3 inflammasome-independent manner and plays a critical role in disease development. Therefore, drugs that exert potent anti-inflammatory effects by comprehensively suppressing particulate-induced responses, including IL-1 beta release and IL-1 alpha release, should be developed. Here, we found that oridonin, a diterpenoid isolated from Isodon japonicus HARA, strongly suppressed particulate-induced cell death, accompanied by the release of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta in mouse and human macrophages. Oridonin reduced particulate-induced phagolysosomal membrane damage in macrophages without affecting phagocytosis of particulates. Furthermore, oridonin treatment markedly suppressed the symptoms of silica particle-induced pneumonia, which was attributed to the release of IL-1 alpha independently of NLRP3. Thus, oridonin is a potential lead compound for developing effective therapeutics for crystallopathies attributed to NLRP3-dependent as well as NLRP3-independent inflammation.
