RESUMO

Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are a group of rare monogenetic disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and systemic inflammation. A major pathologic hallmark of AIDs is excessive inflammasome assembly and activation, often the result of gain-of-function mutations in genes encoding core inflammasome components, including pyrin and cryopyrin. Recent advances in lipidomics have revealed that dysregulated metabolism of lipids such as cholesterol and fatty acids, especially in innate immune cells, exerts complex effects on inflammasome activation and the pathogenesis of AIDs. In this review, we summarize and discuss the impact of lipids and their metabolism on inflammasome activation and the disease pathogenesis of the most common AIDs, including familial Mediterranean fever, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, and mevalonate kinase deficiency. We postulate that lipids hold diagnostic value in AIDs and that dietary and pharmacologic intervention studies could represent a promising approach to attenuate inflammasome activation and AID progression.

RESUMO

Pyrin is a cytosolic protein encoded by the MEFV gene, predominantly expressed in innate immune cells. Upon activation, it forms an inflammasome, a multimolecular complex that enables the activation and secretion of IL-1ß and IL-18. In addition, the Pyrin inflammasome activates Gasdermin D leading to pyroptosis, a highly pro-inflammatory cell death. Four autoinflammatory syndromes are associated with Pyrin inflammasome dysregulation: familial Mediterranean fever, hyper IgD syndrome/mevalonate kinase deficiency, pyrin-associated autoinflammation with neutrophilic dermatosis, and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne syndrome. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the two-step model of Pyrin inflammasome activation. Based on these insights, we discuss current pharmacological options and identify a series of existing molecules with therapeutic potential for the treatment of pyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndromes.

RESUMO

Macrophages play major roles in the pathophysiology of various neurological disorders, being involved in seemingly opposing processes such as lesion progression and resolution. Yet, the molecular mechanisms that drive their harmful and benign effector functions remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by repair-associated macrophages (RAMs) enhance remyelination ex vivo and in vivo by promoting the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Guided by lipidomic analysis and applying cholesterol depletion and enrichment strategies, we find that EVs released by RAMs show markedly elevated cholesterol levels and that cholesterol abundance controls their reparative impact on OPC maturation and remyelination. Mechanistically, EV-associated cholesterol was found to promote OPC differentiation predominantly through direct membrane fusion. Collectively, our findings highlight that EVs are essential for cholesterol trafficking in the brain and that changes in cholesterol abundance support the reparative impact of EVs released by macrophages in the brain, potentially having broad implications for therapeutic strategies aimed at promoting repair in neurodegenerative disorders.
