4-Octyl Itaconate and Dimethyl Fumarate Induce Secretion of the Anti-Inflammatory Protein Annexin A1 via NRF2.

ABSTRACT: Annexin A1 is a key anti-inflammatory effector protein that is involved in the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI), a derivative of the endogenous metabolite itaconate, which is abundantly produced by LPS-activated macrophages, has recently been identified as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. The anti-inflammatory effects of 4-OI share a significant overlap with those of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a derivate of another Krebs cycle metabolite fumarate, which is already in use clinically for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this study we show that both 4-OI and DMF induce secretion of the 33-kDa form of annexin A1 from murine bone marrow-derived macrophages, an effect that is much more pronounced in LPS-stimulated cells. We also show that this 4-OI- and DMF-driven annexin A1 secretion is NRF2-dependent and that other means of activating NRF2 give rise to the same response. Lastly, we demonstrate that the cholesterol transporter ABCA1, which has previously been implicated in annexin A1 secretion, is required for this process in macrophages. Our findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the anti-inflammatory effects of the Krebs cycle metabolite derivatives 4-OI and DMF.

Project description:Vitiligo is an acquired skin depigmentation disease in which excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical pathogenic role in melanocyte destruction. The complex crosstalk between melanocytes and keratinocytes in vitiligo suggests that treatments aimed at protecting both the cells might be meaningful. In this study, we investigated the effect of 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI), an itaconate derivative, on ultraviolet B- (UVB-) induced apoptosis in HaCaT and PIG1 cells and the underlying mechanisms. HaCaT and PIG1 cells were pretreated with 4-OI (50 or 100 μM) for 24 h and then exposed to 300 mJ/cm2 UVB (emission range 290-320 nm, emission peak 310 nm). ROS levels and cell apoptosis were investigated using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry 24 h after irradiation. In addition, nuclear translocation and the expression of pathway-related proteins and mRNAs were detected using confocal microscopy, western blotting, and qRT-PCR, respectively. Our results demonstrated that UVB induced apoptosis in HaCaT and PIG1 cells, whereas inhibition of ROS production could reverse this effect. Furthermore, 4-OI attenuated UVB-induced apoptosis in HaCaT and PIG1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner by reducing the ROS levels. Moreover, 4-OI induced nuclear translocation and activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and Nrf2 silencing reversed the inhibitory effect of 4-OI on the UVB-induced increase in ROS production and apoptosis in HaCaT and PIG1 cells. In addition, in vivo experiments using the Institute of Cancer Research mouse model showed that 4-OI via tail vein injection (10 mg/kg/day for six consecutive days) could reduce skin damage induced by UVB (400 mJ/cm2/day for five consecutive days). In conclusion, 4-OI can protect melanocytes and keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis by Nrf2 activation-dependent ROS inhibition and can potentially treat skin disorders associated with oxidative stress, such as vitiligo.

Project description:Septic acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is the leading form of acute kidney failure among hospitalized patients, and the inflammatory response is involved in this process. 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) is a multi-target itaconate derivative with potent anti-inflammatory action. However, it remains elusive whether and how 4-OI contributes to the regulation of S-AKI. We employed a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI murine model and explored the potential renoprotective effect of 4-OI in vivo. In vitro experiments, BUMPT cells, a murine renal tubular cell line, were conducted to examine the effects of 4-OI on inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitophagy. Moreover, STAT3 plasmid was transfected in BUMPT cells to investigate the role of STAT3 signaling in the 4-OI-administrated state. We demonstrate that 4-OI protects against S-AKI through suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress and enhancing mitophagy. 4-OI significantly reduced the levels of Scr, BUN, Ngal as well as the tubular injury in LPS-induced AKI mice. 4-OI restrained inflammation by reducing macrophage infiltration and suppressing the expression of IL-1β and NLRP3 in the septic kidney. 4-OI also reduced ROS levels, as well as cleaved caspase-3 and boosted antioxidants such as HO-1, and NQO1 in mice. In addition, the 4-OI treatment significantly promoted mitophagy. Mechanistically, 4-OI activated Nrf2 signaling and suppressed phosphorylated STAT3 in vivo and vitro. Molecular docking revealed the binding affinity of 4-OI towards STAT3. ML385, a specific Nrf2 inhibitor, partially repressed the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of 4-OI and partially restricted the mitophagy induced by 4-OI in vivo and in vitro. Transfected with STAT3 plasmid partially suppressed mitophagy and the anti-inflammatory effect provoked by 4-OI in vitro. These data suggest that 4-OI ameliorates LPS-induced AKI by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress and enhancing mitophagy through the overactivation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway, and inactivation of STAT3. Our study identifies 4-OI as a promising pharmacologic for S-AKI.
