Gasdermin D (GSDMD) participates in activation of inflammasomes and pyroptosis. Meanwhile, ubiquitination strictly regulates inflammatory responses. However, how ubiquitination regulates Gasdermin D activity is not well understood. In this study, we show that pyroptosis triggered by Gasdermin D is regulated through ubiquitination. Specifically, SYVN1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase of gasdermin D, promotes GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. SYVN1 deficiency inhibits pyroptosis and subsequent LDH release and PI uptake. SYVN1 directly interacts with GSDMD, and mediates K27-linked polyubiquitination of GSDMD on K203 and K204 residues, promoting GSDMD-induced pyroptotic cell death. Thus, our findings revealed the essential role of SYVN1 in GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. Overall, GSDMD ubiquitination is a potential therapeutic module for inflammatory diseases.

Autophagy plays an important role in cellular quality control and is responsible for removing protein aggregates and dysfunctional organelles. BNIP3 is an atypical BH3-only protein which is known to cause mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death in the myocardium. Interestingly, BNIP3 can also protect against cell death by promoting removal of dysfunctional mitochondria via autophagy (mitophagy). We have previously reported that BNIP3 is a potent inducer of mitophagy in cardiac myocytes and that BNIP3 contains an LC3 Interacting Region (LIR) that binds to LC3 on the autophagosome, tethering the mitochondrion to the autophagosome for engulfment. However, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying BNIP3-mediated mitophagy are still unclear. In this study, we discovered that BNIP3 can mediate mitochondrial clearance in cells even in the absence of a functional autophagy pathway. We found that overexpression of BNIP3 led to significant clearance of mitochondria in both wild type (WT) and autophagy deficient Atg5-/- MEFs. BNIP3 caused an increase in LC3II levels in WT MEFs, indicating increased formation of autophagosomes. In contrast, LC3II was undetectable in Atg5-/- MEFs. Furthermore, we found that BNIP3-mediated clearance in WT and Atg5-/- MEFs did not require the presence of Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase which plays a critical role in clearing dysfunctional mitochondria in cells. Also, overexpression of Parkin did not enhance BNIP3-mediated mitochondrial clearance. When investigating activation of alternative cellular degradation pathways, we found that BNIP3 induced activation of the endosomal-lysosomal pathway in both WT and Atg5-/- MEFs. Mutating the LC3 binding site in BNIP3 did not interfere with the activation of the endosomal pathway and clearance of mitochondria in Atg5-/- MEFs. Thus, these findings suggest that BNIP3 can promote clearance of mitochondria via multiple pathways in cells. The role of autophagy in removing mitochondria is already well established and we are currently exploring the roles of the endosomal and alternative autophagy pathways in BNIP3-mediated mitochondrial clearance in myocytes.

Background: The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) play crucial role in the controlling of inflammatory diseases. Due to the vast side effects of NSAIDs, its use is limited. G2013 or &amp;#945;-L-Guluronic Acid is a new NSAID with immunomodulatory features. Objectives: Considering the leading role of TLRs in inflammatory responses, in this study, we aimed to evaluate G2013 cytotoxicity and its effect on the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 molecules. Methods: HEK293-TLR2 and HEK293-TLR4 cells were cultured and seeded on 96-well cell plate, and MTT assay was performed for detecting the viability of the cells after treatment with different concentrations of G2013. HT29 cells were grown and treated with low and high doses of G2013. After total RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, quantitative real-time PCR were performed to assess the TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA synthesis. Results: We found that concentrations of ≤125 &amp;#181;g/ml of G2013 had no apparent cytotoxicity effect on the HEK293-TLR2 and -TLR4 cells. Our results indicated that after G2013 treatment (5 &amp;#181;g/ml) in HT29 cells, TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expression decreased significantly compared with the untreated control group (p=0.02 and p=0.001 respectively). Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that G2013 can down regulate the TLR2 and TLR4 gene expression and exerts its inhibitory effect. Our findings are parallel to our previous finding which showed G2013 ability to down regulate the signaling pathway of TLRs. However, further studies are needed to identify the molecular mechanism of G2013.<p&gt;

Src kinase (Src) is a tyrosine protein kinase that regulates cellular metabolism, survival, and proliferation. Many studies have shown that Src plays multiple roles in macrophage-mediated innate immunity, such as phagocytosis, the production of inflammatory cytokines/mediators, and the induction of cellular migration, which strongly implies that Src plays a pivotal role in the functional activation of macrophages. Macrophages are involved in a variety of immune responses and in inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and osteoporosis. Previous studies have suggested roles for Src in macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses; however, recently, new functions for Src have been reported, implying that Src functions in macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses that have not been described. In this paper, we discuss recent studies regarding a number of these newly defined functions of Src in macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses. Moreover, we discuss the feasibility of Src as a target for the development of new pharmaceutical drugs to treat macrophage-mediated inflammatory diseases. We provide insights into recent reports regarding new functions for Src that are related to macrophage-related inflammatory responses and the development of novel Src inhibitors with strong immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties, which could be applied to various macrophage-mediated inflammatory diseases.
