    NLRP3 forms a multiprotein inflammasome complex to initiate the inflammatory response when macrophages sense infection or tissue damage, which leads to caspase-1 activation, maturation and release of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 and Gasdermin-D (GSDMD) mediated pyroptosis. NLRP3 inflammasome activity must be controlled as unregulated and chronic inflammation underlies inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Several findings uncovered that NLRP3 inflammasome activity is under the regulation of centrosome localized proteins such as NEK7 and HDAC6, however, whether the centrosome composition or structure is altered during the inflammasome activation is not known. Our data show that levels of the centrosomal scaffold protein pericentrin (PCNT) are reduced upon NLRP3 inflammasome activation via different activators in human and murine macrophages. PCNT loss occurs in the presence of membrane stabilizer punicalagin, suggesting this is not a consequence of membrane rupture. We found that PCNT loss is dependent on NLRP3 and active caspases as MCC950 and pan caspase inhibitor ZVAD prevent its degradation. Moreover, caspase-1 and GSDMD are both required for this NLRP3-mediated PCNT loss because absence of caspase-1 or GSDMD triggers an alternative regulation of PCNT via its cleavage by caspase-3 in response to nigericin stimulation. PCNT degradation occurs in response to nigericin, but also other NLRP3 activators including lysomotropic agent L-Leucyl-L-Leucine methyl ester (LLOMe) and hypotonicity but not AIM2 activation. Our work reveals that the NLRP3 inflammasome activation alters centrosome composition highlighting the need to further understand the role of this organelle during inflammatory responses.
