• The excessive pyroptosis obstructs the endotoxin tolerance in Kupffer cells. • STAT5a alleviates pyroptosis and contribute to endotoxin tolerance. • STAT5a inhibits NF-κb/Nlrp3 signal pathway to impede caspase1 activation. Pyroptosis, a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, affects endotoxin tolerance in macrophages. However, the factors acting on the nod-like receptor 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasome and caspase1 activation to impede pyroptosis and resulting in tolerance and survival in sepsis were needed to discovered. Here, we found that signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5a) restrains pyroptosis in Kupffer cells (KCs) and induces endotoxin tolerance (ET) in a sepsis model. The lentiviral knockdown of STAT5a led to enhanced pyroptosis in KCs, increased IL-1β production and decreased IL-10 production via intricate NF-κb signaling regulation. Thus, our findings reveal a novel mechanism of STAT5a-midiated endotoxin tolerance in KCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
