The processing of pro-IL-1 depends on activation of caspase-1. Controversy has arisen whether TLR ligands alone can activate caspase-1 for release of IL-1 . Here we demonstrate that human blood monocytes release processed IL-1 after a one-time stimulation with either TLR2 or TLR4 ligands, due to constitutively activated caspase-1 and release of endogenous ATP. The constitutive activation of caspase-1 depends on the inflammasome components ASC and NALP3, but in monocytes caspase-1 activation is uncoupled from PAMP recognition. In contrast, macrophages are unable to process and release IL-1 solely by TLR ligands, and require a second ATP stimulation. We conclude that IL-1 production is differentially regulated in monocytes and macrophages, and reflects their separate functions in host defense and inflammation.
