The aim of the present study was to investigate whether titanium (Ti)-induced release of interleukin (IL)-1ß acts through the assembly of the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. In addition, we examined whether particulate Ti or TiO2 activates the same intracellular pathways with the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome as Ti ions. Ti ions are known to induce IL-1ß maturation and release by the formation of metal-protein aggregates. Wild-type THP-1 (wt.) cells and NLRP3- and ASC- (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing caspase recruitment domain (CARD)) knockdown cells were used in the experimental analyses. Macro- and nanoparticles (NPs) of both Ti and TiO2 were used as test agents. IL-1ß release as a biomarker for inflammasome activation and cell viability was also analyzed. Periodate-oxidized adenosine triphosphate (oATP) was used to attenuate downstream signaling in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Cellular uptake of Ti was examined using transmission electron microscopy. Cells exposed to the Ti-ion solution showed a dose-dependent increase in the release of IL-1ß; conversely, exposure to particulate Ti did not result in increased IL-1ß release. Cell viability was not affected by particulate Ti. Knockdown cells exposed to Ti showed a statistically significant reduction in the release of IL-1ß compared with wt. cells (p < 0.001). Cellular uptake was detected in all Ti mixtures, and aggregates with various structures were observed. Ti ion-induced release of bioactive IL-1ß in THP-1 cells involves the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
