Nitric Oxide Prevents IL-1ß and IFN-{gamma}-Inducing Factor (IL-18) Release from Macrophages by Inhibiting Caspase-1 (IL-1ß-Converting Enzyme)1

Procytokine processing by caspase-1 is required for the maturation and release of IL-1ß and IFN-{gamma}-inducing factor (IGIF) (or IL-18) from activated macrophages (M{phi}). Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases. Here, we tested the hypothesis that NO regulates cytokine release by inhibiting IL-1ß-converting enzyme (ICE) or caspase-1 activity. Activated RAW264.7 cells released four to five times more IL-1ß, but not TNF-{alpha}, in the presence of the NO synthase inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine. Stimulated peritoneal M{phi} from wild-type mice (inducible NO synthase (iNOS)+/+) also released more IL-1ß if exposed to NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, whereas M{phi} from iNOS knockout mice (iNOS-/-) did not. Inhibition of NO synthesis in stimulated RAW264.7 cells also resulted in a threefold increase in intracellular caspase-1 activity. The NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine inhibited caspase-1 activity in cells as well as the activity of purified recombinant caspase-1 and also prevented the cleavage of pro-IL-1ß and pro-IGIF by recombinant caspase-1. The inhibition of caspase-1 by NO was reversible by the addition of DTT, which is consistent with S-nitrosylation as the mechanism of caspase-1 inhibition. An in vivo role for the regulation of caspase-1 by NO was established in iNOS knockout animals, which exhibited significantly higher plasma levels of IL-1ß and IFN-{gamma} than their wild-type counterparts at 10 h following LPS injection. Taken together, these data indicate that NO suppresses IL-1ß and IGIF processing by inhibiting caspase-1 activity, providing evidence for a unique role for induced NO in regulating IL-1ß and IGIF release.
