Abstract

ABSTRACTPathogen recognition is an essential component to achieve the desired outcome of host protection. Nod‐like receptor pyrin containing domain 3 (NLRP3) is a cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) with a wide array of agonists, such as PAMPs, DAMPs, ATP, bacterial product and viral products. Stimulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome results in proteolytic activation of IL‐1β and IL‐18, cell pyroptosis and classically, the induction of proinflammatory responses. St. Croix (STC) sheep have resistance traits exhibiting the appropriate T‐helper type 2 immune response ensuing protection during helminth parasitic infection whereas parasite‐susceptible Suffolk (SUF) sheep have an impaired response resulting in parasite establishment and adverse symptoms. The objective of these experiments was to determine if NLRP3 protein in H. contortus‐infected SUF sheep was defective using the classical activation pathway of NLRP3 inflammasome. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from H. contortus‐infected STC and SUF sheep were isolated from whole blood and treated (MCC950 treatment for 2 h followed by LPS treatment for 3 h, 1400 W treatment for 2 h followed by LPS treatment for 3 h, LPS treatment for 3 h or culture media for 3 h). qPCR analysis of LPS‐stimulated PBMC revealed an upregulation in inflammatory associated genes IL‐1β, TLR4, TNFα and NFκB (p < 0.0001) in STC PBMC and downregulation in IFNγ, IL‐6 and iNOS for SUF PBMC. Pharmacological inhibition of iNOS in SUF PBMC resulted in an upregulation in the expression of IFNγ. These preliminary data begin to discover a relationship between NLRP3 activation and TLR4 signalling in PBMC of STC and SUF sheep.
