The Immunoproteasome has traditionally been viewed primarily for its role in peptide production for antigen presentation by the major histocompatibility complex, which is critical for immunity. However, recent research has shown that the Immunoproteasome is also very important for the clearance of oxidatively damaged proteins in homeostasis, and especially during stress and disease. The importance of the Immunoproteasome in protein degradation has become more evident as diseases characterized by protein aggregates have also been linked to deficiencies of the Immunoproteasome. Additionally, there are now diseases defined by mutations or polymorphisms within Immunoproteasome-specific subunit genes, further suggesting its crucial role in cytokine signaling and protein homeostasis (or "proteostasis"). The purpose of this review is to highlight our growing understanding of the importance of the Immunoproteasome in the management of protein quality control, and the detrimental impact of its dysregulation during disease and aging.

Background: Heterozygous immunoproteasome subunit beta-type 10 (PSMB10) mutations can cause severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and Omenn syndrome (OS). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in these patients is associated with severe complications and poor immune reconstitution, often resulting in death.

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a prevalent and life-threatening complication in hospitalized and critically ill patients. Recent researches indicates that immunoproteasome, especially proteasome 20S subunit beta 8 (PSMB8), is highly associated with various kidney diseases. This study aims to investigate the potential involvement of PSMB8 in S-AKI and its impact on apoptosis and inflammation.

Monitoring the catalytic activity of the proteasome and its various isoforms has become increasingly important with the continued development of core particle inhibitors and targeted protein degraders as potential therapies for diseases with high protein accumulation. The immunoproteasome (iCP) is expressed in a variety of diseases due to inflammatory signals, such as interferon-gamma, that alert the cell to begin generating iCP preferentially over the standard proteasome. There is a need to understand iCP activity and expression both in cells and in vivo because it is becoming a widely targeted isoform in a variety of diseases.

The mitochondrial dynamic imbalance is an important cause of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and dysfunction. Psmb8, as one of the immunoproteasome catalytic subunits, is a key regulator of protein homoeostasis, inflammation and some cardiac diseases. Here, we found that the expression level and activity of Psmb8 were significantly reduced in the heart of I/R mice and in subjects with myocardial infarction (MI).
