Kong L, Cao Y, He Y, Zhang Y. Role and molecular mechanism of NOD2 in chronic non-communicable diseases. J Mol Med (Berl) 2024; 102:787-799. [PMID: 38740600 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-024-02451-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2), located in the cell cytoplasm, is a pattern recognition receptor belonging to the innate immune receptor family. It mediates the innate immune response by identifying conserved sequences in bacterial peptide glycans and plays an essential role in maintaining immune system homeostasis. Gene mutations of NOD2 lead to the development of autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease and Blau syndrome. Recently, NOD2 has been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of diabetes, cardiac-cerebral diseases, and cancers. However, the function of NOD2 in these non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) is not well summarized in reviews. Our report mainly discusses the primary function and molecular mechanism of NOD2 as well as its potential clinical significance in CNCDs.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a programmed cell death process, is vital for the immune response against microbial infections and internal danger signals. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of protein palmitoylation, a modification that involves attaching palmitate to cysteine residues, in regulating key proteins involved in pyroptosis. Palmitoylation of cGAS at residue C474 by ZDHHC18 affects its enzymatic activity and DNA binding ability. Similarly, ZDHHC9 promotes cGAS activity through palmitoylation at residues C404/405. NLRP3 palmitoylation at residue C844, mediated by ZDHHC12, impacts its stability and interactions with other proteins, crucial for activating the NLRP3 inflammasome and triggering inflammation. However, the role of ZDHHC5 in NLRP3 palmitoylation remains uncertain due to conflicting findings. Palmitoylation at C88/91 is essential for STING activation and induction of type I interferons. It modulates the formation of multimeric complexes and downstream signaling pathways. GSDMD palmitoylation at C191 is necessary for pore formation and membrane translocation, while GSDME palmitoylation at C407/408 is associated with drug-induced pyroptosis. Moreover, palmitoylation of NOD1 and NOD2 influences their membrane recruitment and immune signaling pathways in response to bacterial peptidoglycans, acting as upstream regulators of pyroptosis. This review summarizes the important roles for palmitoylation in regulating the function of key pyroptosis-related proteins, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms governing immune responses and inflammation.

Abstract
Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome hyperactivation contributes to many human chronic inflammatory diseases, and understanding how NLRP3 inflammasome is regulated can provide strategies to treat inflammatory diseases. Here, we demonstrate that NLRP3 Cys126 is palmitoylated by zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyl transferase 7 (ZDHHC7), which is critical for NLRP3-mediated inflammasome activation. Perturbing NLRP3 Cys126 palmitoylation by ZDHHC7 knockout, pharmacological inhibition, or modification site mutation diminishes NLRP3 activation in macrophages. Furthermore, Cys126 palmitoylation is vital for inflammasome activation in vivo. Mechanistically, ZDHHC7-mediated NLRP3 Cys126 palmitoylation promotes resting NLRP3 localizing on the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and activated NLRP3 on the dispersed TGN, which is indispensable for recruitment and oligomerization of the adaptor ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD). The activation of NLRP3 by ZDHHC7 is different from the termination effect mediated by ZDHHC12, highlighting versatile regulatory roles of S-palmitoylation. Our study identifies an important regulatory mechanism of NLRP3 activation that suggests targeting ZDHHC7 or the NLRP3 Cys126 residue as a potential therapeutic strategy to treat NLRP3-related human disorders.

Cell Signal 2024; 116:111064. [PMID: 38266744 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Abnormal inflammation of vascular endothelial cells occurs frequently in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3B (SMPDL3B) is a lipid raft enzyme and plays an anti-inflammatory role in various diseases but its function in DR-related vascular endothelial dysfunction remains unknown. We first found that SMPDL3B expression was upregulated from week 10 to 18 in the retinal tissues of db/db mice. Particularly, the high expression of SMPDL3B was mainly observed in retinal vascular endothelium of DR mice. To interfere retinal SMPDL3B expression, adeno-associated viruses 2 (AAV-2) containing SMPDL3B specific shRNA (1233-1253 bp) were injected into the vitreous cavity of db/db mice. SMPDL3B silencing exacerbated the spontaneous DR by further activating the NF-κB/NLRP3 pro-inflammatory pathway. In vitro, human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRVECs) were infected with SMPDL3B-shRNA lentiviruses and then stimulated with 30 mM glucose (HG) for 24 h. SMPDL3B-silenced HRVECs secreted more interleukin-1β and had enhanced nuclear p65 translocation. Notably, HG treatment induced the palmitoylation of SMPDL3B. Zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 5 (ZDHHC5) is a palmitoyltransferase that catalyzes the palmitoylation of its substrates, HG exposure increased the interaction between ZDHHC5 and SMPDL3B in HRVECs. 2-BP, a palmitoylation inhibitor, accelerated the protein degradation of SMPDL3B, whereas palmostatin B, a depalmitoylation inhibitor, decreased its turnover rate in HRVECs. Collectively, the present study suggests a compensatory increase of SMPDL3B in HG-treated HRVECs and the retinal tissues of DR mice, indicating that SMPDL3B may be a potential target for DR treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the correlation between M1/M2 macrophages (M1/M2 Mφ) and cell death mode under Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Methods Raw gene expression profiles were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Genes related to different cell death modes were collected from the KEGG, FerrDb and GSEA databases. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the gene expression profiles were identified using the limma package in R. The intersection genes of M1/M2 Mφ with different cell death modes were obtained by the VennDiagram package. Hub genes were obtained by constructing the protein-protein interactions (PPI) network and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The expression of cell death modes marker genes and Hub genes were verified by Western Blot and Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Results Bioinformatics analysis was performed to screen Hub genes of Mtb-infected M1 Mφ and different cell death modes, naming NFKB1, TNF, CFLAR, TBK1, IL6, RELA, SOCS1, AIM2; Hub genes of Mtb-infected M2 Mφ and different cell death modes, naming TNF, BIRC3, MAP1LC3C, DEPTOR, UVRAG, SOCS1. Combined with experimental validation, M1 Mφ under Mtb infection showed higher expression of death (including apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis) genes compared to M2 Mφ and genes such as NFKB1, TNF, CFLAR, TBK1, IL6, RELA, AIM2, BIRC3, DEPTOR show differential expression. Conclusion NFKB1, TNF, CFLAR, TBK1, IL6, RELA, AIM2 in Mtb-infected M1 Mφ, and TNF, BIRC3, DEPTOR in Mtb-infected M2 Mφ might be used as potential diagnostic targets for TB. At early stage of Mtb infection, apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis occurred more significantly in M1 Mφ than that in M2 Mφ, which may contribute to the transition of Mtb-infected Mφ from M1-dominant to M2-dominant and contribute to the immune escape mechanisms of Mtb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The autophagy adapter SQSTM1/p62 is crucial for maintaining homeostasis in various organs and cells due to its protein-protein interaction domains and involvement in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Vascular endothelium cells play a unique role in vascular biology and contribute to vascular health. METHODS Using the Cre-loxP system, we generated mice with endothelium cell-specific knockout of p62 mediated by Tek (Tek receptor tyrosine kinase)-cre to investigate the essential role of p62 in the endothelium. In vitro, we employed protein mass spectrometry and IPA to identify differentially expressed proteins upon knockdown of p62. Immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to demonstrate the interaction between p62 and FN1 or LAMC2 in human umbilical vein endothelium cells (HUVECs). Additionally, we identified the degradation pathway of FN1 and LAMC2 using the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or proteasome inhibitor MG132. Finally, the results of immunoprecipitation demonstrated that the interaction between p62 and LAMC2 was abolished in the PB1 truncation group of p62, while the interaction between p62 and FN1 was abolished in the UBA truncation group of p62. RESULTS Our findings revealed that p62 Endo mice exhibited heart, lung, and kidney fibrosis compared to littermate controls, accompanied by severe cardiac dysfunction. Immunoprecipitation assays provided evidence of p62 acting as an autophagy adapter in the autophagy-lysosome pathway for FN1 and LAMC2 degradation respectively through PB1 and UBA domain with these proteins rather than proteasome system. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that defects in p62 within endothelium cells induce multi-organ fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction in mice. Our findings indicate that FN1 and LAMC2, as markers of (EndoMT), have detrimental effects on HUVECs and elucidate the autophagy-lysosome degradation mechanism of FN1 and LAMC2.

Abstract
To investigate the role of S-palmitoylation in pyroptosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Myocardial ischemic injury is mainly related to the death of terminally differentiated cardiomyocytes. Pyroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death and recently is identified a potential mechanism of cardiomyocyte loss. However, the role of S-palmitoylation in pyroptosis following MI remains elusive. AMI was mimicked by permanent left anterior descending artery ligation. The palmitoylated proteins labeled by Click-iT palmitic acid were precipitated using streptavidin magnetic bead conjugate. The short-term palmitic acid dietary intake by modified western diet with palm oil for 7 days is compared with modified western diet with olive oil. Palmitoylation is increased in myocardial infarction and anoxic cardiomyocytes. Pyroptosis, but not apoptosis and necrosis, is more relevant with palmitoylation in the process of myocardial ischemia injury. The gasdermin D (GSDMD) Cys192 palmitoylation promotes its cytomembrane localization by ZDHHC14. GSDMD Cys192 palmitoylation aggravates in vitro cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. The short-term palmitic acid dietary intake or ML348 deteriorates myocardial pyroptosis, infarct size and cardiac function in AMI mice by GSDMD palmitoylation. Disulfiram antagonizes Cys192 palmitoylation of GSDMD-N-terminal and reduces myocardial pyroptosis and injury in AMI mice. We identifies ZHDDC14 induced palmitoylation as a crucial node for modulating GSDMD-N-terminal cytomembrane localization and establishes Disulfiram targeting GSDMD Cys192 palmitoylation as a potential clinical intervention for myocardial pyroptosis.

Cell Commun Signal 2024; 22:46. [PMID: 38233791 PMCID: PMC10795333 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-023-01366-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal activation of FAK is associated with tumor development and metastasis. Through interactions with other intracellular signalling molecules, FAK influences cytoskeletal remodelling, modulation of adhesion signalling, and activation of transcription factors, promoting migration and invasion of tumor cells. However, the exact mechanism that regulates these processes remains unresolved. Herein, our findings indicate that the S-palmitoylation of FAK is crucial for both its membrane localization and activation. METHODS The palmitoylation of FAK in U251 and T98G cells was assessed by an acyl-PEG exchange (APE) assay and a metabolic incorporation assay. Cellular palmitoylation was inhibited using 2-bromopalmitate, and the palmitoylation status and cellular localization of FAK were determined. A metabolic incorporation assay was used to identify the potential palmitoyl acyltransferase and the palmitoylation site of FAK. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assays, colony formation assays, and Transwell assays were conducted to assess the impact of ZDHHC5 in GBM. Additionally, intracranial GBM xenografts were utilized to investigate the effects of genetically silencing ZDHHC5 on tumor growth. RESULTS Inhibiting FAK palmitoylation leads to its redistribution from the membrane to the cytoplasm and a decrease in its phosphorylation. Moreover, ZDHHC5, a protein-acyl-transferase (PAT), catalyzes this key modification of FAK at C456. Knockdown of ZDHHC5 abrogates the S-palmitoylation and membrane distribution of FAK and impairs cell proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Taken together, our research reveals the crucial role of ZDHHC5 as a PAT responsible for FAK S-palmitoylation, membrane localization, and activation. CONCLUSIONS These results imply that targeting the ZDHHC5/FAK axis has the potential to be a promising strategy for therapeutic interventions for glioblastoma (GBM). Video Abstract.

Abstract
NOD2 is an intracellular innate immune receptor that senses bacterial peptidoglycans. Although soluble in the cytosol, a portion of the protein is associated with the plasma membrane and endosomal compartments for microbial surveillance. Palmitoylation of NOD2 by zDHHC5 promotes its membrane recruitment to drive proinflammatory and antimicrobial responses to pathogenic invasion. A depalmitoylation step by an unknown protein, thioesterase, releases NOD2 from membranes into the cytosol, where the protein can then enter a new cycle of palmitoylation-depalmitoylation. Here, we identify α/β -hydrolase domain-containing protein 17 isoforms (ABHD17A, 17B, 17C) as the thioesterases responsible for depalmitoylation of NOD2. Inhibiting ABHD17 increased the plasmalemmal localization of both wild-type NOD2 and a subset of hypo-palmitoylated Crohn's disease-associated variants, resulting in increased NF-κB activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in epithelial cells. These results suggest that targeted inhibition of ABHD17 may rescue some Crohn's disease-associated NOD2 variants.

Cell Mol Biol Lett 2023; 28:87. [PMID: 37884867 PMCID: PMC10604759 DOI: 10.1186/s11658-023-00498-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial transfer regulates intercellular communication, and mitochondria regulate cell metabolism and cell survival. However, the role and mechanism of mitochondrial transfer in Cd-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are unclear. The present study shows that mitochondria can be transferred between hepatocytes via microtubule-dependent tunneling nanotubes. After Cd treatment, mitochondria exhibit perinuclear aggregation in hepatocytes and blocked intercellular mitochondrial transfer. The different movement directions of mitochondria depend on their interaction with different motor proteins. The results show that Cd destroys the mitochondria-kinesin interaction, thus inhibiting mitochondrial transfer. Moreover, Cd increases the interaction of P62 with Dynactin1, promotes negative mitochondrial transport, and increases intracellular lipid accumulation. Mitochondria and hepatocyte co-culture significantly reduced Cd damage to hepatocytes and lipid accumulation. Thus, Cd blocks intercellular mitochondrial transfer by disrupting the microtubule system, inhibiting mitochondrial positive transport, and promoting their negative transport, thereby promoting the development of NAFLD.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing proteins, NOD1 and NOD2, are cytosolic receptors that recognize dipeptides and tripeptides derived from the bacterial cell wall component peptidoglycan (PGN). During the past two decades, studies have revealed several roles for NODs beyond detecting PGN fragments, including activation of an innate immune anti-viral response, NOD-mediated autophagy, and ER stress induced inflammation. Recent studies have also clarified the dynamic regulation of NODs at cellular membranes to generate specific and balanced immune responses. This review will describe how NOD1 and NOD2 detect microbes and cellular stress and detail the molecular mechanisms that regulate activation and signaling while highlighting new evidence and the impact on inflammatory disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
S-palmitoylation is a reversible posttranslational lipid modification that targets cysteine residues of proteins and plays critical roles in regulating the biological processes of substrate proteins. The innate immune system serves as the first line of defense against pathogenic invaders and participates in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Emerging studies have uncovered the functions of S-palmitoylation in modulating innate immune responses. In this review, we focus on the reversible palmitoylation of innate immune signaling proteins, with particular emphasis on its roles in the regulation of protein localization, protein stability, and protein-protein interactions. We also highlight the potential and challenge of developing therapies that target S-palmitoylation or de-palmitoylation for various diseases.

Abstract
Inflammation represents a fundamental immune response triggered by various detrimental stimuli, such as infections, tissue damage, toxins, and foreign substances. Protein degradation plays a crucial role in regulating the inflammatory process at multiple levels. The identification of sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1, also known as p62) protein as a binding partner of lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase in 1995 marked a significant milestone. Subsequent investigations unveiled the activity of SQSTM1 to interact with diverse unstructured substrates, including proteins, organelles, and pathogens, facilitating their delivery to the lysosome for autophagic degradation. In addition to its well-established intracellular functions, emerging studies have reported the active secretion or passive release of SQSTM1 by immune or non-immune cells, orchestrating the inflammatory responses. These distinct characteristics render SQSTM1 a critical therapeutic target in numerous human diseases, including infectious diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular diseases. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structure and modulation of SQSTM1, discusses its intracellular and extracellular roles in inflammation, and highlights its significance in inflammation-related diseases. Future investigations focusing on elucidating the precise localization, structure, post-translational modifications of SQSTM1, as well as the identification of additional interacting partners, hold promise for unravelling further insights into the multifaceted functions of SQSTM1.

Abstract
Moderate inflammation is essential for standard wound healing. In pathological conditions, such as diabetes, protracted and refractory wounds are associated with excessive inflammation, manifested by persistent proinflammatory macrophage states. However, the mechanisms are still unclear. Herein, we perform a metabolomic profile and find a significant phenylpyruvate accumulation in diabetic foot ulcers. Increased phenylpyruvate impairs wound healing and augments inflammatory responses, whereas reducing phenylpyruvate via dietary phenylalanine restriction relieves uncontrolled inflammation and benefits diabetic wounds. Mechanistically, phenylpyruvate is ingested into macrophages in a scavenger receptor CD36-dependent manner, binds to PPT1, and inhibits depalmitoylase activity, thus increasing palmitoylation of the NLRP3 protein. Increased NLRP3 palmitoylation is found to enhance NLRP3 protein stability, decrease lysosome degradation, and promote NLRP3 inflammasome activation and the release of inflammatory factors, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, finally triggering the proinflammatory macrophage phenotype. Our study suggests a potential strategy of targeting phenylpyruvate to prevent excessive inflammation in diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) refer to the breaking or generation of covalent bonds on the backbones or amino acid side chains of proteins and expand the diversity of proteins, which provides the basis for the emergence of organismal complexity. To date, more than 650 types of protein modifications, such as the most well-known phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, methylation, SUMOylation, short-chain and long-chain acylation modifications, redox modifications, and irreversible modifications, have been described, and the inventory is still increasing. By changing the protein conformation, localization, activity, stability, charges, and interactions with other biomolecules, PTMs ultimately alter the phenotypes and biological processes of cells. The homeostasis of protein modifications is important to human health. Abnormal PTMs may cause changes in protein properties and loss of protein functions, which are closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. In this review, we systematically introduce the characteristics, regulatory mechanisms, and functions of various PTMs in health and diseases. In addition, the therapeutic prospects in various diseases by targeting PTMs and associated regulatory enzymes are also summarized. This work will deepen the understanding of protein modifications in health and diseases and promote the discovery of diagnostic and prognostic markers and drug targets for diseases.

Abstract
Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) in the follicle are the important mediator of steroidogenesis and foster oocyte maturation. Evidences suggested that the function of GCs could be regulated by S-palmitoylation. However, the role of S-palmitoylation of GCs in ovarian hyperandrogenism remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that the protein from GCs in ovarian hyperandrogenism phenotype mouse group exhibits lower palmitoylation level compared with that in the control group. Using S-palmitoylation-enriched quantitative proteomics, we identified heat shock protein isoform α (HSP90α) with lower S-palmitoylation levels in ovarian hyperandrogenism phenotype group. Mechanistically, S-palmitoylation of HSP90α modulates the conversion of androgen to estrogens via the androgen receptor (AR) signalling pathway, and its level is regulated by PPT1. Targeting AR signaling by using dipyridamole attenuated ovarian hyperandrogenism symptoms. Our data help elucidate ovarian hyperandrogenism from perspective of protein modification and provide new evidence showing that HSP90α S-palmitoylation modification might be a potential pharmacological target for ovarian hyperandrogenism treatment.

Abstract
The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) impairs their regenerative capacity to maintain tissue homeostasis. Numerous studies are focusing on the interventions and mechanisms to attenuate the senescence of MSCs. C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is reported to have multiple functions such as antitumor, antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-aging roles, but there is little research about the effects of C-PC on the senescence of MSCs. Here we investigated the roles and mechanism of C-PC on MSCs senescence. In vitro results showed that C-PC could reduce senescence, enhance proliferation, promote the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in senescent MSCs induced by oxidative stress. In vivo D-Galactose (D-Gal) induced rats aging models showed C-PC also increased the viability and differentiation of intrinsic senescent bone marrow derived MSCs (BMSCs). Furthermore, C-PC also decreased the levels of oxidative stress markers ROS or MDA, elevated the SOD activity, and increased the anti-inflammatory factors. Proteomic chip analysis showed that C-PC interacted with ZDHHC5, and their interaction was verified by pull down assay. Overexpression of ZDHHC5 aggravated the senescence of MSCs and greatly lessened the beneficial effects of C-PC on senescence. In addition, we found ZDHHC5 regulated autophagy by altering LC3, Beclin1 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In summary, our data indicated that C-PC ameliorates the senescence of MSCs through zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) domain-containing protein 5 (ZDHHC5) mediated autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The present study uncovered the key role of autophagy in MSCs senescence and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may be a potential target for anti-senescence studies of MSCs.

Palmitoylation prevents sustained inflammation by limiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation through chaperone-mediated autophagy. Mol Cell 2023; 83:281-297.e10. [PMID: 36586411 DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2022.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 42.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
As a key component of the inflammasome, NLRP3 is a critical intracellular danger sensor emerging as an important clinical target in inflammatory diseases. However, little is known about the mechanisms that determine the kinetics of NLRP3 inflammasome stability and activity to ensure effective and controllable inflammatory responses. Here, we show that S-palmitoylation acts as a brake to turn NLRP3 inflammasome off. zDHHC12 is identified as the S-acyltransferase for NLRP3 palmitoylation, which promotes its degradation through the chaperone-mediated autophagy pathway. Zdhhc12 deficiency in mice enhances inflammatory symptoms and lethality following alum-induced peritonitis and LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Notably, several disease-associated mutations in NLRP3 are associated with defective palmitoylation, resulting in overt NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thus, our findings identify zDHHC12 as a repressor of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and uncover a previously unknown regulatory mechanism by which the inflammasome pathway is tightly controlled by the dynamic palmitoylation of NLRP3.

[PMID: 36608137 PMCID: PMC9821866 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.add0960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The molecular basis underlying nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. Recent progress in transcriptional regulatory network analysis helps identify the master regulator (MR) proteins that transcriptionally define malignant tumor phenotypes. Here, we investigated transcription factor-target interactions and identified TEA domain transcription factor 4 (TEAD4) as an MR of high-risk NPC. Precisely, TEAD4 promoted NPC migration, invasion and cisplatin resistance, depending on its autopalmitoylation. Mechanistically, YTHDF2 (YTH domain family 2) recognized WTAP (Wilms tumor 1-associating protein)-mediated TEAD4 m6A methylation to facilitate its stability and led to aberrant up-regulation of TEAD4. Up-regulated TEAD4 further drove NPC progression by transcriptionally activating BZW2 (basic leucine zipper and W2 domains 2) to induce the oncogenic AKT pathway. Moreover, the transcriptional activity of TEAD4 was independent of its canonical coactivators YAP/TAZ. Clinically, TEAD4 serves as an independent predictor of unfavorable prognosis and cisplatin response in NPC. Our data revealed the crucial role of TEAD4 in driving tumor malignancy, thus, may provide therapeutic vulnerability in NPC.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is involved in the pathogenesis of not only cancers but also neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. With the progress of metabonomics and proteomics, metabolites have been found to affect protein acylations through providing acyl groups or changing the activities of acyltransferases or deacylases. Reciprocally, protein acylation is involved in key cellular processes relevant to physiology and diseases, such as protein stability, protein subcellular localization, enzyme activity, transcriptional activity, protein-protein interactions and protein-DNA interactions. Herein, we summarize the functional diversity and mechanisms of eight kinds of nonhistone protein acylations in the physiological processes and progression of several diseases. We also highlight the recent progress in the development of inhibitors for acyltransferase, deacylase, and acylation reader proteins for their potential applications in drug discovery.

Abstract
The intracellular pattern recognition receptor NOD2 senses bacterial peptidoglycan to drive proinflammatory and antimicrobial responses. Dysregulation of NOD2 signaling confers susceptibility to several immunological and inflammatory diseases. Although palmitoylation of NOD2 is required for its membrane recruitment and activation, whether palmitoylation can modulate the stability of NOD2 to orchestrate inflammation remains unclear. Recently, we have revealed that S-palmitoylation restricts SQSTM1-mediated selective macroautophagic/autophagic degradation of NOD2, and identified a gain-of-function R444C variant of NOD2 short isoform (NOD2sR444C) in autoinflammatory disease, which induces excessive inflammation through its enhanced S-palmitoylation level and decreased autophagic degradation.
