Elevated evidence has reported the important role of oxidative stress injury and inflammatory response in the progression of colitis. Tumor Suppressor TSBF1, TRIM59, is a ubiquitin E3 ligase and mediates immune response. However, the underlying molecular function of TRIM59 on regulation of colitis is still not understood. In the current study, we identify the TRIM59 as a critical and novel endogenous suppressor of kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), and we also determine that TRIM59 is a KEAP1-interacting partner protein that catalyses its ubiquitination and degradation in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Moreover, IEC-specific loss of the Trim59 disrupts colon metabolic homeostasis, accompanied by intestinal oxidative stress injury, elevated endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and pro-inflammatory cytokines release, significantly promotes acute or chronic colitis progression. Conversely, transgenic mice with Trim59 overexpression by adeno-associated virus (AAV)-induced Trim59 gene therapeutics mitigates colitis in acute or chronic colitis rodent models and in vitro experiments. Mechanistically, in response to onset of colitis, TRIM59 directly interacts with KEAP1 and promotes ubiquitin-proteasome degradation, thus results in NRF2 activation and its downstream cascade anti-oxidative stress-related pathway activation, which facilitates anti-oxidant defense and reduces tissue damage. All the findings elucidated the potential role of TRIM59 in colitis progression by mediating KEAP1 deactivation and degradation, and could be considered as a therapeutic target for the treatment of such disease.
有大量证据表明,氧化应激损伤和炎症反应在结肠炎的进展中起着重要作用。肿瘤抑制因子 TSBF1、TRIM59 是一种泛素 E3 连接酶,参与调节免疫反应。然而,TRIM59 调节结肠炎的潜在分子功能尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们鉴定出 TRIM59 是 Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(KEAP1)的一个关键的新型内源性抑制因子,我们还确定 TRIM59 是 KEAP1 的相互作用蛋白伴侣,在肠上皮细胞(IEC)中催化其泛素化和降解。此外,IEC 特异性缺失 Trim59 会破坏结肠代谢稳态,伴随着肠道氧化应激损伤、内源性活性氧(ROS)产生增加和促炎细胞因子释放,显著促进急性或慢性结肠炎的进展。相反,通过腺相关病毒(AAV)诱导 Trim59 基因治疗过表达 Trim59 的转基因小鼠可减轻急性或慢性结肠炎啮齿动物模型和体外实验中的结肠炎。从机制上讲,在结肠炎发作时,TRIM59 与 KEAP1 直接相互作用,并促进泛素蛋白酶体降解,从而导致 NRF2 激活及其下游抗氧化应激相关途径的激活,促进抗氧化防御并减少组织损伤。所有这些发现都阐明了 TRIM59 通过介导 KEAP1 失活和降解在结肠炎进展中的潜在作用,并可被视为治疗此类疾病的治疗靶点。
