Abstract

Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the physiopathology of liver fibrogenesis. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor, which regulates the expression of redox regulators to establish cellular redox homeostasis. The Nrf2 modulator can serve as a primary cellular defense against the cytotoxic effects of oxidative stress. We designed a chimeric Keap1-Keap1 peptide (KKP1) based on the proteolysis-targeting chimera technology. The KKP1 peptide not only can efficiently penetrate into the rat hepatic stellate cell line (HSC-T6) cells but also can induce Keap1 protein degradation by the ubiquitination-proteasome degradation pathway, which releases Nrf2 and promotes the transcriptional activity of the Nrf2/antioxidant response element pathway. It then activates the protein expression of the downstream antioxidant factors, the glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Finally, Keap1 protein degradation inhibits the nuclear factor-kappaB inflammatory signal pathway, the downstream inflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor alpha, and the interleukin-1beta protein expression and further inhibits the expression of the fibrosis biomarker gene. The current research suggests that our designed KKP1 may provide a new avenue for the future treatment of liver fibrosis.

摘要

越来越多的证据表明,氧化应激和炎症参与了肝纤维化的病理生理过程。核因子红细胞2相关因子2(Nrf2)是一种关键的转录因子,它调节氧化还原调节因子的表达以建立细胞氧化还原稳态。Nrf2调节剂可作为细胞对氧化应激细胞毒性作用的主要防御机制。我们基于蛋白酶靶向嵌合体技术设计了一种嵌合型Keap1-Keap1肽(KKP1)。KKP1肽不仅能有效穿透大鼠肝星状细胞系(HSC-T6)细胞,还能通过泛素化-蛋白酶体降解途径诱导Keap1蛋白降解,从而释放Nrf2并促进Nrf2/抗氧化反应元件途径的转录活性。进而激活下游抗氧化因子谷氨酸-半胱氨酸连接酶催化亚基和血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)的蛋白表达。最后,Keap1蛋白降解抑制核因子-κB炎症信号通路、下游炎症因子肿瘤坏死因子α以及白细胞介素-1β蛋白表达,并进一步抑制纤维化生物标志物基因的表达。目前的研究表明,我们设计的KKP1可能为未来肝纤维化的治疗提供一条新途径。
