LncRNA-Gm17586 inhibits S.typhimurium mediated pyroptosis by promoting NLRP3 and Tnip1 binding

The aim of this study is to identify the lncRNA that directly interacts with NLRP3 molecules in RAW264.7 cells infected with S. typhimurium and its role in S. typhimurium-mediated pyroptosis. We have identified LncRNA-Gm17586, which directly interacts with NLRP3 in RAW264.7 cells infected with S. typhimurium. LncRNA-Gm17586 inhibits S. typhimurium-mediated pyroptosis in RAW264.7 cells. Overexpression of LncRNA-Gm17586 not only directly suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation but also enhances the binding affinity between Tnip1 and NLRP3, thereby indirectly facilitating Tnip1-mediated inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Consequently, this dual mechanism effectively inhibits S. typhimurium-induced pyroptosis. Our results demonstrate that LncRNA-Gm17586 directly interacts with NLRP3 during S. typhimurium-mediated pyroptosis and inhibits this process by enhancing the interaction between Tnip1 and NLRP3.
