Interleukin-1 (IL-1 ) is a pleiotropic proinflammatory
cytokine. Mechanisms leading to its secretion include not only release of newly synthesized protein, but also cleavage of a preformed immature
precursor protein into an active secretory form by the intracellular
protease caspase-1 (formerly termed IL-1-converting enzyme [ICE]).
Caspase-1 belongs to a rapidly growing family of cysteine proteases
with substrate specificity for aspartate involved in cellular
apoptosis. We have used an assay determining the caspase-1 activity
based on cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate to elucidate its
role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced secretion of IL-1 . We show
that LPS induces moderate caspase-1 activity in the monocytic cell line
THP-1, in freshly isolated peripheral blood monocytes, and in human
umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a time- and dose-dependent
fashion. Caspase-1 activation by LPS was associated with cleavage of
the IL-1 precursor protein that was followed by release of the
mature IL-1 protein in monocytic cells. In contrast, subsequent
release of IL-1 by HUVECs was not significant. LPS-induced caspase-1
activation appeared not to result from modulation of caspase-1
transcript accumulation and inhibition of caspase-1 activity was
accomplished by two specific inhibitors, YVAD-CHO and YVAD-CMK, capable
of alleviating the release of mature IL-1 . Taken together, these
results show that LPS moderately activates caspase-1 and
that caspase-1 activation contributes to LPS induction of IL-1
secretion.
