Published: December 2021

Mechanisms and functions of protein ubiquitylation and LPS ubiquitylation. LPS ubiquitylation serves as a scaffold to recruit E3 ligases for the ubiquitylation of the membrane of bacteria. Polyubiquitin coat on the bacterial cell surface is one type of "eat-me" signal recognized by the host cells. The abbreviations used in the figure are Pro, Protein; Ub, Ubiquitin; E1, Ubiquitin-activating enzymes; E2, Ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes; E3, Ubiquitin-ligating enzymes; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; RNF213, Ring Finger Protein 213; and LUBAC, linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex.

Background: Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are involved in the progression of human diseases, including acute pneumonia. In this study, we aimed to explore the functions of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 9X-linked (USP9X) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated WI-38 cells. Methods: WI-38 cells were treated with LPS to induce the cellular damage and inflammation.

Bacterial indole-3-propionic acid inhibits macrophage IL-1β production through targeting methionine metabolism.

The gut microbiota plays key roles in host health by shaping the host immune responses through their metabolites, like indole derivatives from tryptophan. However, the direct role of these indole derivatives in macrophage fate decision and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we found that bacterial indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) downregulates interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) production in M1 macrophages through inhibition of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling.

Silencing of lncRNA Gm26917 Attenuates Alveolar Macrophage-mediated Inflammatory Response in LPS-induced Acute Lung Injury Via Inhibiting NKRF Ubiquitination.

Inflammation

Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, Anhui Provincial Laboratory of Pathogen Biology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, 230032, Anhui, China.

The inflammatory response mediated by alveolar macrophages plays a crucial role in the development of acute lung injury. Numerous studies have reported that lncRNAs are highly expressed in acute lung injury in mouse models and cell lines, and acute lung injury (ALI) can be effectively alleviated by targeting these lncRNAs. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism by LncRNA Gm26917 regulates the inflammatory response in alveolar macrophages during acute lung injury mouse model.

Background: Vascular endothelial cell-derived exosomes are thought to mediate disease progression by regulating macrophage polarization. However, its mechanism in diabetes mellitus (DM)-related atherosclerosis (AS) progress is unclear.

Methods: High-glucose (HG) and oxLDL were used to induce human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) to mimic DM-related AS model.

Impact of LITAF on Mitophagy and Neuronal Damage in Epilepsy via MCL-1 Ubiquitination.

CNS Neurosci Ther

January 2025

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Guangzhou First People's Hospital, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China.

Objective: This study aims to investigate how the E3 ubiquitin ligase LITAF influences mitochondrial autophagy by modulating MCL-1 ubiquitination, and its role in the development of epilepsy.

Methods: Employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze brain tissue from epilepsy patients, along with high-throughput transcriptomics, we identified changes in gene expression. This was complemented by in vivo and in vitro experiments, including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, western blotting, and behavioral assessments in mouse models.
