Ddb1-cullin4-associated-factor 1 (DCAF1) is known to regulate protein ubiquitination, while the roles of DCAF1 in osteomyelitis remain unknown. This study aims to investigate the effects of DCAF1 deficiency in macrophages on osteomyelitis and elucidate the molecular mechanism.
-induced mouse model of osteomyelitis was established on the DCAF1Lyz2 and DCAF1Lyz2 (control) mice. Flow cytometry was conducted to analyze the populations of adaptive and innate immune cells. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were established. qRT-PCR and immunoblot analysis were used to determine the levels of inflammation-related biomarkers. ELISA was used to determine the release of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF.
The populations of immune cells in the bone marrow and spleen were not affected due to DCAF1 deficiency in macrophages. DCAF1 suppressed inflammatory cytokines in LPS-induced BMDMs. Additionally, DCAF1 deficiency in macrophages induced severe symptoms including less bacterial load in the femur, cortical bone loss, and reactive bone formation. Mechanistic study revealed that DCAF1 deficiency induced p38 hyperactivation.

已知损伤特异性DNA结合蛋白1-类cullin 4相关因子1(DCAF1)可调节蛋白质泛素化,而DCAF1在骨髓炎中的作用尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨巨噬细胞中DCAF1缺乏对骨髓炎的影响,并阐明其分子机制。
在DCAF1Lyz2和DCAF1Lyz2(对照)小鼠上建立脂多糖诱导的小鼠骨髓炎模型。进行流式细胞术分析适应性和先天性免疫细胞群体。建立脂多糖(LPS)诱导的骨髓来源巨噬细胞(BMDM)。采用qRT-PCR和免疫印迹分析确定炎症相关生物标志物的水平。采用ELISA法测定包括IL-1β、IL-6和TNF在内的炎性细胞因子的释放。
巨噬细胞中DCAF1缺乏并未影响骨髓和脾脏中的免疫细胞群体。DCAF1抑制LPS诱导的BMDM中的炎性细胞因子。此外,巨噬细胞中DCAF1缺乏导致严重症状,包括股骨细菌载量减少、皮质骨丢失和反应性骨形成。机制研究表明,DCAF1缺乏诱导p38过度激活。
