The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase TRIM65 Negatively Regulates Inflammasome Activation Through Promoting Ubiquitination of NLRP3

ABSTRACT: The dysregulation of NLRP3 inflammasome plays a critical role in pathogenesis of various human inflammatory diseases, thus NLRP3 inflammasome activation must be tightly controlled at multiple levels. However, the underlying mechanism regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains unclear. Herein, the effects of Tripartite motif-containing protein 65 (TRIM65) on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and the underlying molecular mechanism were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition or deletion of Trim65 could significantly strengthen agonist induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in THP-1 cells and BMDMs, indicated by increased caspase-1 activation and interleukin-1β secretion. However, TRIM65 had no effect on poly (dA: dT)-induced AIM2 inflammasome activation or flagellin-induced IPAF inflammasome activation. Mechanistically, immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that TRIM65 binds to NACHT domain of NLRP3, promotes lys48- and lys63- linked ubiquitination of NLRP3 and restrains the NEK7-NLRP3 interaction, thereby inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 activation, and IL-1β secretion. In vivo, three models of inflammatory diseases were used to confirm the suppression role of TRIM65 in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. TRIM65-deficient mice had a higher production of IL-1β induced by lipopolysaccharide in sera, and more IL-1β secretion and neutrophil migration in the ascites, and more severity of joint swelling and associated IL-1β production induced by monosodium urate, suggesting that TRIM65 deficiency was susceptible to inflammation. Therefore, the data elucidate a TRIM65-dependent negative regulation mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and provide potential therapeutic strategies for the treatment of NLRP3 inflammasome-related diseases.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Ubiquitin E3 ligase-mediated protein degradation regulates osteoblast function. Itch, an E3 ligase, affects numerous cell functions by regulating ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of related proteins. However, the Itch-related cellular and molecular mechanisms by which osteoblast differentiation and function are elevated during bone fracture repair are as yet unknown. METHODS:We examined the expression levels of E3 ligases and NF-?B members in callus samples during bone fracture repair by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and the total amount of ubiquitinated proteins by Western blot analysis in wild-type (WT) mice. The expression levels of osteoblast-associated genes in fracture callus from Itch knockout (KO) mice and their WT littermates were examined by qPCR. The effect of NF-?B on Itch expression in C2C12 osteoblast cells was determined by a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. RESULTS:The expression levels of WW Domain Containing E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 1 (Wwp1), SMAD Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 1 (Smurf1), SMAD Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 2 (Smurf2) and Itch were all significantly increased in the fracture callus of WT mice, which was associated with elevated expression of NF-?B members and total ubiquitinated proteins. Callus tissue isolated from Itch KO mice expressed higher levels of osteoblast-associated genes, including Runx2, a positive regulator of osteoblast differentiation, but osteoclast-associated genes were not increased. Both NF-?B RelA and RelB proteins were found to bind to the NF-?B binding site in the mouse Itch promoter. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings indicate that Itch depletion may have a strong positive effect on osteoblast differentiation in fracture callus. Thus, ubiquitin E3 ligase Itch could be a potential target for enhancing bone fracture healing.Cite this article: J. Liu, X. Li, H. Zhang, R. Gu, Z. Wang, Z. Gao, L. Xing.
