E2-25K SUMOylation inhibits proteasome for cell death during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) causes brain damage accompanied by ubiquitin accumulation and impairment of proteasome activity. In this study, we report that E2-25K, an E2-conjugating enzyme, is SUMOylated during oxidative stress and regulates cerebral I/R-induced damage. Knockdown of E2-25K expression protects against oxygen/glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced neuronal cell death, whereas ectopic expression of E2-25K stimulates it. Compared with the control mice, cerebral infarction lesions and behavioral/neurological disorders are ameliorated in E2-25K knockout mice during middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. In particular, E2-25K is SUMOylated at Lys14 under oxidative stress, OGD/R and I/R to prompt cell death. Further, E2-25K downregulates the proteasome subunit S5a to impair proteasome complex and thus restrain proteasome activity under oxidative stress. This proteasome inhibitory activity of E2-25K is dependent on its SUMOylation. These results suggest that E2-25K has a crucial role in oxidative stress and cerebral I/R-induced damage through inhibiting proteasome via its SUMOylation.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ischemic stroke is a deadly disease that poses a serious threat to human life. Superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3, ECSOD) is the main antioxidant enzyme that removes superoxide anions from cells. This study aimed to investigate the effect of SOD3 overexpression on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS:GV230-EGFP-ECSOD, the recombinant SOD3-overexpressed vector, was constructed by genetic engineering technology, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were infected with lentiviral packaging. In animal experiment, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats were successfully established. ECSOD-MSCs are the MSCs that successfully transfected with SOD3 overexpression vector. The animals were injected with ECSOD-MSCs (ECSOD-MSC group), normal MSCs (MSCs group), PBS (PBS group), and not do any processing (Model group) via the tail vein. Then MRI was used to detect the infarct volume of rats, modified Neurological Severity Scores (mNSS), and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the expression of neurological function and apoptosis-related genes in rats. RESULTS:Western blot analysis revealed that the SOD3 was highly expressed in MSCs. Animal experiments showed that the transplantation of ECSOD-MSCs significantly reduced the infarct volume of ischemic stroke rats (p < 0.05), significantly improved neurological function in rats (p < 0.05), and found proapoptotic gene, Bax, expression was significantly decreased (p < 0.05), the expression of anti-apoptotic gene, Bcl-2, was significantly increased (p < 0.05). The highly expressed SOD3 has no correction with brain infarct volume, and the highly expressed SOD3 has a positive correlation with cell apoptosis. It is speculated that overexpression of SOD3 affects the expression of Bax and Bcl-2, and improves apoptosis to alleviate ischemic stroke. CONCLUSION:Our results indicated that MSCs transfected with SOD3 can effectively alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.
