Abstract Background Intracellular sensing of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is essential for the immune response against gram-negative bacteria and results in activation of caspase-11 and pyroptotic cell death with fatal consequences in sepsis. We found the neuronal guidance receptor plexin C1 (PLXNC1) influences the intracellular response to LPS. Methods We employed a murine model of sepsis via cecal ligation and binding (CLP), using PLXNC1-/- mice and littermate controls, and additionally transfected murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from both genotypes with LPS to achieve activation of the noncanonical inflammasome ex vivo. Additionally, we transfected the PLXNC1 ligand SL4c-d in vivo and ex vivo to examine its effect on intracellular LPS response. Results We found the neuronal guidance receptor PLXNC1 dampens the intracellular response to LPS by interacting with adenylate cyclase 4 (ADCY4) and protein kinase A activity, which in turn diminishes caspase-11 expression. The absence of PLXNC1 results in excessive inflammation marked by increased cytokine release, increased secondary organ injury and reduced sepsis survival in a murine sepsis model induced by CLP. Notably, administration of SL4c-d—peptide ligand of PLXNC1—reduces the inflammatory response during CLP-induced sepsis and improves survival. Conclusions These results elucidate a previously unknown mechanism for PLXNC1 suppressing excessive noncanonical inflammasome activity and offer a new potential target for treatment of sepsis with its detrimental effects. |
