NLRP3 inflammasome-driven inflammation represents a key trigger for hepatic fibrogenesis during cholestatic liver injury. However, whether sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) plays a role in NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation remains unknown. Here, we found that the expression of NLRP3 in macrophages and NLRP3 inflammasome activation were significantly elevated in the liver injured by bile duct ligation (BDL). In vitro, S1P promoted the NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation via S1P receptor 2 (S1PR2) in bone marrow-derived monocyte/macrophages (BMMs). Focusing on BMMs, the gene silencing of G alpha(12) or G alpha(13) by specific siRNA suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome priming and pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1 beta and IL-18) secretion, whereas G alpha((i/o)) and G alpha(q) were not involved in this process. The MAPK signaling pathways (P38, ERK, and JNK) mediated NLRP3 inflammasome priming and IL-1 beta and IL-18 secretion, whereas blockage of PI3K, ROCK, and Rho family had no such effect. Moreover, JTE-013 (S1PR2 inhibitor) treatment markedly reduced NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation in BDL-injured liver. Collectively, S1P promotes NLRP3 inflammasome priming and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta and IL-18) secretion via the S1PR2/G alpha((12/13))/MAPK pathway, which may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for liver disease.
