<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Necroptotic cell death is mediated by activation of the mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). The inflammation associated with this form of cell death is thought to be due to the release of proinflammatory cellular contents after plasma membrane rupture. In contrast to this prevailing view, we show that MLKL activates the innate immune receptor nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in a cell-intrinsic manner. Importantly, we show that MLKL-mediated NLRP3 and caspase-1 activation and the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β is a major determinant of necroptotic-derived inflammatory signals. These findings suggest that NLRP3 and IL-1β may be relevant therapeutic targets in MLKL-driven diseases.</jats:p>
