IL-17 activates NF-κB and inducing expression of proinflammatory genes. IL-17 drives disease in autoimmune conditions, and anti-IL-17 antibodies have shown impressive success in the clinic. Although produced by lymphocytes, IL-17 predominantly signals in fibroblasts and epithelial cells. IL-17-driven inflammation is kept in check by negative feedback signaling molecules, including the ubiquitin editing enzyme A20, whose gene is and similarly linked to autoimmune disease susceptibility. Accordingly, we hypothesized that ABIN-1 might play a role in negatively regulating IL-17 signaling activity. Indeed, ABIN-1 enhanced both tonic and IL-17-dependent NF-κB signaling in IL-17-responsive fibroblast cells. Interestingly, the inhibitory activities of ABIN-1 on IL-17 signaling were independent of A20. ABIN-1 is a known NF-κB target gene, and we found that IL-17-induced activation of NF-κB led to enhanced ABIN-1 mRNA expression and promoter activity. Surprisingly, however, the ABIN-1 protein was inducibly degraded following IL-17 signaling in a proteasome-dependent manner. Thus, ABIN-1, acting independently of A20, restricts both baseline and IL-17-induced inflammatory gene expression. We conclude that IL-17-induced signals lead to degradation of ABIN-1, thereby releasing a constitutive cellular brake on NF-κB activation.
白细胞介素-17(IL-17)激活核因子κB(NF-κB)并诱导促炎基因的表达。IL-17在自身免疫性疾病中引发疾病,抗IL-17抗体在临床上已显示出显著成效。尽管IL-17由淋巴细胞产生,但其主要在成纤维细胞和上皮细胞中发挥信号传导作用。由IL-17驱动的炎症受到负反馈信号分子的控制,包括泛素编辑酶A20,其基因同样与自身免疫性疾病易感性相关。因此,我们推测ABIN-1可能在负向调节IL-17信号活性中发挥作用。事实上,ABIN-1增强了IL-17反应性成纤维细胞中基础和IL-17依赖性的NF-κB信号传导。有趣的是,ABIN-1对IL-17信号的抑制活性独立于A20。ABIN-1是一个已知的NF-κB靶基因,我们发现IL-17诱导的NF-κB激活导致ABIN-1 mRNA表达和启动子活性增强。然而,令人惊讶的是,IL-17信号传导后,ABIN-1蛋白以蛋白酶体依赖性方式被诱导降解。因此,ABIN-1独立于A20发挥作用,限制基础和IL-17诱导的炎症基因表达。我们得出结论,IL-17诱导的信号导致ABIN-1降解,从而解除对NF-κB激活的组成性细胞抑制。
