Apoptotic Caspases Prevent the Induction of Type I Interferons by Mitochondrial DNA

Abstract: The mechanism by which cells undergo death determines whether dying cells trigger inflammatory responses or remain immunologically silent. Mitochondria play a central role in the induction of cell death, as well as in immune signaling pathways. Here, we identify of a mechanism by which mitochondria and downstream pro-apoptotic caspases regulate the activation of antiviral immunity. In the absence of active caspases, mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization by Bax and Bak results in the expression of type … Show more

“…Released mtDNA participates in inflammatory responses via different pathways. In the cGAS/STING pathway, mtDNA participates in cell-intrinsic triggering of innate immune responses and antiviral signaling, and trigger type I interferon (IFN) release (4)(5)(6). Similar to bacterial and viral DNA, mtDNA is enriched in unmethylated CpG dinucleotide motifs, which exhibit strong immunostimulatory effects (7).…”

“…Indeed, (i) a number of off-targeting effects interfering with necroptosis were reported for caspases inibitors. 51,52 (ii) In addition to masking the potential role of the NAD + -sirtuin axis, recent observations indicate that these inhibitors can promote the production of soluble factors, including a number of cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, GM-CSF and CXCL2), chemokines (CCL2, RANTES and CXCL1) 53 and type I interferons (in response to mitochondrial damage) 54,55 that could interfere with the necroptotic signaling pathway. [56][57][58] Although the present study confirms previously reported observations suggesting a role for SIRT2 in promoting necroptosis, 33 they are at apparent odds with the observation that SIRT2-KO mice remain sensitive to the in vivo toxicity of exogenously administered TNF.…”

“…Nevertheless, inhibition of caspase function may have untoward and potentially unwanted effects. For example, MOMP in the absence of caspase activity can engage interferon responses dependent upon activation of the STING pathway 121,122 . The role of STINGdependent interferon signaling in cancer is complex such that it can exert both pro-and anti-tumourigenic effects 123,124 .…”
