The ubiquitin-editing enzyme TNF alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) emerges protective roles in neurological disorder, such as cerebral trauma. However, the molecular mechanisms of TNFAIP3 in epilepsy are not very clear. Hereon, the epileptic mouse models and BV2 microglial cellular models were established by kainic acid (KA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) respectively. We found that TNFAIP3 was highly expressed in the hippocampus of epileptic mice. Besides, TNFAIP3 overexpression relieved the spatial learning and memory, reduced the hot plate latency, as well as inhibited neuronal apoptosis in KA-treated mice. In vivo and in vitro experiments indicated that inflammation, a key characteristic of epilepsy, was inhibited by TNFAIP3 upregulation, as evidenced by the downregulated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β and inducible NO synthase (iNOS), along with the decreased levels of NLRP3 inflammasome, which could activate inflammation. Collectively, we infer that TNFAIP3 relieves neuronal injury in epilepsy by suppressing inflammation.

A20 is a dual-function ubiquitin-editing enzyme that maintains immune homeostasis by restraining inflammation. Although A20 serves a similar negative feedback function for T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, the molecular mechanisms utilized and their ultimate impact on human T-cell function remain unclear. TCR engagement triggers the assembly of the CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) protein complex, a signaling platform that governs the activation of downstream transcription factors including NF-κB and c-Jun/AP-1.

Unlabelled: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in eliminating viral infection. Conversely, viruses have evolved various strategies to disrupt TLR signaling during chronic infection. In the case of hepatitis B virus (HBV), we previously reported that plasma hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is closely associated with impaired TLR responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, but the reasons remain unclear.

TNF-α-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3), commonly referred to as A20, is an integral part of the ubiquitin-editing complex that significantly influences immune regulation, apoptosis, and the initiation of diverse immune responses. The A20 protein is characterized by an N-terminal ovarian tumor (OTU) domain and a series of seven zinc finger (ZNF) domains. Mutations in the TNFAIP3 gene are implicated in various immune-related diseases, such as Behçet's disease, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, autoimmune hepatitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

The NLRP3 inflammasome, a pivotal component of innate immunity, has been implicated in various inflammatory disorders. The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 is well known to regulate inflammation and maintain homeostasis. However, the precise molecular mechanisms by which A20 modulates the NLRP3 inflammasome remain poorly understood.
