Increased hepatocyte death contributes to the pathology of acute and chronic liver diseases. The role of hepatocyte pyroptosis and extracellular inflammasome release in liver disease is unknown. We used primary mouse and human hepatocytes, hepatocyte-specific L351P Nlrp3KICreA mice and GsdmdKO mice to investigate pyroptotic cell death in hepatocytes and its impact on liver inflammation and damage. Extracellular NLRP3 inflammasomes were isolated from mutant NLRP3-YFP HEK cells and internalization was studied in LX2 and primary human hepatic stellate cells. We further utilized a cohort of 154 adult subjects with biopsy-proven NAFLD (Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Nedlands, Western Australia). We demonstrated that primary mouse and human hepatocytes can undergo pyroptosis upon NLRP3 inflammasome activation with subsequent release of NLRP3 inflammasome proteins that amplify and perpetuate inflammasome-driven fibrogenesis. Pyroptosis was inhibited by blocking caspase-1 and Gasdermin D activation. The activated form of caspase-1 was detected in the livers and in serum from patients with NASH and correlated with disease severity. Nlrp3KICreA mice showed spontaneous liver fibrosis under normal chow diet, and increased sensitivity to liver damage and inflammation after treatment with low dose LPS. Mechanistically, hepatic stellate cells engulfed extracellular NLRP3 inflammasome particles leading to increased IL-1ß secretion and α-SMA expression. This effect was abrogated when cells were pre-treated with the endocytosis inhibitor Cytochalasin B. These results identify hepatocyte pyroptosis and release of inflammasome components as a novel mechanism to propagate liver injury and liver fibrosis development. Our findings identify a novel mechanism of inflammation in the liver. Experiments in cell cultures, mice and human samples show that a specific form of cell death, called pyroptosis, leads to the release of complex inflammatory particles, the NLRP3 inflammasome, from inside hepatocytes into the extracellular space. From there they are taken up by other cells and thereby mediate inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic stress signals. The discovery of this mechanism may lead to novel treatments for chronic liver diseases in the future.
