Background   Pyroptosis, a new form of cell death, which has special morphological characteristics, depends on caspase-1 activation and occupies an important role in inflammatory immune diseases and ischemia-reperfusion injury. ROS is a common activator of NLR/caspase-1. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2), a selective cation channel, is involved in inflammatory regulation. This study was designed to explore the role of TRPM2 in activating caspase-1 and caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis of mouse BMDMs.Methods   BMDMs isolated from WT and TRPM2−/− mice were treated with LPS and ATP, along with ROS inhibitor (NAC and DPI), caspase-1 inhibitor (Z-YVAD), or not. The activation of caspase-1 was measured by western blot. EtBr and EthD-2 staining were used to assess the incidence of pyroptosis.Results   Compared with WT, the activated caspase-1-P10 was higher and the percentage of EtBr positive cells was also increased in TRPM2−/− group, which were both inhibited by Z-YVAD, NAC, or DPI. ASC oligomerization was increased in TRPM2−/− group.Conclusion   Deletion of TRPM2 can enhance the activation of caspase-1 and pyroptosis, which may be via modulating ROS production, suggesting that TRPM2 plays a critical role in immune adjustment.
