Abstract

Psoriasis pathogenesis involves dysregulated immune responses, yet the role of protein prenylation (particularly PGGT1B-mediated geranylgeranylation) in macrophage-driven inflammation remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore the role and molecular mechanism of protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I subunit beta (PGGT1B) in the development of psoriasis. Myeloid cell-specific PGGT1B gene knockout mice were generated, and a mouse psoriasis model was established with imiquimod to study the role and mechanism of PGGT1B gene downregulation-induced macrophage activation in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from wild-type and PGGT1B knockout mice were cultured and stimulated with resiquimod (R848) to simulate the immune microenvironment of psoriasis. In addition, the differentially expressed genes induced by PGGT1B knockout were analyzed using RNA-seq, and bioinformatics analysis was carried out to study the possible biological process of PGGT1B regulation. Finally, PMA-THP-1 was co-cultured with HaCaT cells to study the effect of PGGT1B deletion in macrophages on the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. Bone marrow PGGT1B deficiency aggravated the psoriasis-like lesions induced by imiquimod in mice. In BMDMs with PGGT1B deficiency, the NF-κB signaling pathway was over-activated by R848, and the expressions of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly increased. Activation of cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) may mediate the activation of the NF-κB pathway in PGGT1B-deficient BMDMs. PGGT1B deletion can promote the proliferation and inhibit the differentiation of HaCaT cells. Reduced PGGT1B levels can increase the expression of CDC42, which further activates NLRP3 inflammation in macrophages through NF-κB signaling, further aggravating the inflammatory state of psoriasis. Psoriasis-like lesions induced by IMQ are aggravated when PGGT1B expression is reduced in mouse bone marrow cells. A possible mechanism for this is that PGGT1B-deficient macrophages migrate to the epidermis more easily during psoriasis, which leads to the activation of Cdc42, NF-κB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles.

摘要

银屑病的发病机制涉及免疫反应失调,然而蛋白质异戊二烯化(特别是PGGT1B介导的香叶基香叶基化)在巨噬细胞驱动的炎症中的作用仍知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨I型蛋白质香叶基香叶基转移酶β亚基(PGGT1B)在银屑病发病中的作用及分子机制。构建了髓系细胞特异性PGGT1B基因敲除小鼠,并用咪喹莫特建立小鼠银屑病模型,以研究PGGT1B基因下调诱导的巨噬细胞活化在银屑病发病机制中的作用和机制。培养野生型和PGGT1B基因敲除小鼠的骨髓来源巨噬细胞(BMDM),并用瑞喹莫德(R848)刺激,以模拟银屑病的免疫微环境。此外,利用RNA测序分析PGGT1B基因敲除诱导的差异表达基因,并进行生物信息学分析,以研究PGGT1B调控可能的生物学过程。最后,将佛波酯处理的THP-1细胞与HaCaT细胞共培养,以研究巨噬细胞中PGGT1B缺失对角质形成细胞增殖和分化的影响。骨髓PGGT1B缺乏加重了咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠银屑病样病变。在PGGT1B缺乏的BMDM中,R848过度激活了NF-κB信号通路,促炎细胞因子IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α的表达显著增加。细胞分裂周期42(CDC42)的激活可能介导了PGGT1B缺乏的BMDM中NF-κB通路的激活。PGGT1B缺失可促进HaCaT细胞增殖并抑制其分化。PGGT1B水平降低可增加CDC42的表达,后者通过NF-κB信号进一步激活巨噬细胞中的NLRP3炎症反应,进一步加重银屑病的炎症状态。当小鼠骨髓细胞中PGGT1B表达降低时,咪喹莫特诱导的银屑病样病变会加重。其可能的机制是,PGGT1B缺乏的巨噬细胞在银屑病发病过程中更容易迁移到表皮,从而导致Cdc42、NF-κB信号和NLRP3炎性小体的激活。
