Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) -mediated signaling of caspase-4 (human) and -11 (rodent) can induce the maturation of inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and cell pyroptosis, which is associated with the pathophysiology of many diseases such as obesity. However, the process by which LPS induces inflammation through caspase 4/11 is not fully understood. We found here that plays a key role in LPS-mediated maturation of inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and pyroptosis of macrophages. Mechanistic ally, the binding of caspase 4/11 to LPS requires to cause activation of the caspase 4/11 complex, which ultimately caused inflammation to promote sensitivity to high fat diet (HFD) -mediated obesity. Notably, expression can be up-regulated by LPS. This lncRNA29 is highly conserved between humans and mice. Taken together, these results suggest that determines the occurrence and progression of LPS-related diseases such as obesity.
脂多糖(LPS,内毒素)介导的半胱天冬酶-4(人类)和-11(啮齿动物)信号传导可诱导炎性细胞因子IL-1β成熟和细胞焦亡,这与许多疾病如肥胖症的病理生理学相关。然而,LPS通过半胱天冬酶4/11诱导炎症的过程尚未完全了解。我们在此发现, 在LPS介导的炎性细胞因子IL-1β成熟和巨噬细胞焦亡中起关键作用。机制上,半胱天冬酶4/11与LPS的结合需要 来激活半胱天冬酶4/11复合物,最终导致炎症,促进对高脂饮食(HFD)介导的肥胖症的易感性。值得注意的是, 的表达可被LPS上调。这种长链非编码RNA29在人类和小鼠之间高度保守。综上所述,这些结果表明, 决定了肥胖症等LPS相关疾病的发生和发展。
