Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-3 has long been known for its hematopoietic properties. However, recent evidence has expanded our understanding of IL-3 function by identifying IL-3 as a critical orchestrator of inflammation in a wide array of diseases. Depending on the type of disease, the course of inflammation, the cell or the tissue involved, IL-3 promotes either pathologic inflammation or its resolution. Here, we describe the cell-specific functions of IL-3 and summarize its role in diseases. We discuss the current treatments targeting IL-3 or its receptor, and highlight the potential and the limitations of targeting IL-3 in clinics.

Yu J, Li J, Shen A, Liu Z, He TS. E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF128 negatively regulates the IL-3/STAT5 signaling pathway by facilitating K27-linked polyubiquitination of IL-3Rα. Cell Commun Signal 2024; 22:254. [PMID: 38702781 PMCID: PMC11067302 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-024-01636-4] [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: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
IL-3/STAT5 signaling pathway is crucial for the development and activation of immune cells, contributing to the cellular response to infections and inflammatory stimuli. Dysregulation of the IL-3/STAT5 signaling have been associated with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration and organ damage. IL-3 receptor α (IL-3Rα) specifically binds to IL-3 and initiates intracellular signaling, resulting in the phosphorylation of STAT5. However, the regulatory mechanisms of IL-3Rα remain unclear. Here, we identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF128 as a negative regulator of IL-3/STAT5 signaling by targeting IL-3Rα for lysosomal degradation. RNF128 was shown to selectively bind to IL-3Rα, without interacting with the common beta chain IL-3Rβ, which shares the subunit with GM-CSF. The deficiency of Rnf128 had no effect on GM-CSF-induced phosphorylation of Stat5, but it resulted in heightened Il-3-triggered activation of Stat5 and increased transcription of the Id1, Pim1, and Cd69 genes. Furthermore, we found that RNF128 promoted the K27-linked polyubiquitination of IL-3Rα in a ligase activity-dependent manner, ultimately facilitating its degradation through the lysosomal pathway. RNF128 inhibited the activation and chemotaxis of macrophages in response to LPS stimulation, thereby attenuating excessive inflammatory responses. Collectively, these results reveal that RNF128 negatively regulates the IL-3/STAT5 signaling pathway by facilitating K27-linked polyubiquitination of IL-3Rα. This study uncovers E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF128 as a novel regulator of the IL-3/STAT5 signaling pathway, providing potential molecular targets for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing intestinal disease. Elucidation of the pathogenic mechanisms of IBD requires high-throughput technologies (HTTs) to effectively obtain and analyze large amounts of data. Recently, HTTs have been widely used in IBD, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, microbiomics, metabolomics and single-cell sequencing. When combined with endoscopy, the application of these technologies can provide an in-depth understanding on the alterations of intestinal microbe diversity and abundance, the abnormalities of signaling pathway-mediated immune responses and functionality, and the evaluation of therapeutic effects, improving the accuracy of early diagnosis and treatment of IBD. This review comprehensively summarizes the development and advancement of HTTs, and also highlights the challenges and future directions of these technologies in IBD research. Although HTTs have made striking breakthrough in IBD, more standardized methods and large-scale dataset processing are still needed to achieve the goal of personalized medicine.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a worldwide issue, and the increased incidence has brought a heavy burden to patients and society. Gut microbiota is involved in the pathogenesis of IBD, and targeting the microbiota, such as probiotics, has emerged as a potential therapy for the treatment of IBD. Here, the effect of Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis LKM512 (LKM512), an anti-aging probiotic, on dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced IBD in larval zebrafish was determined. Supplementation of LKM512 promoted the survival rate of the larvae, together with increased locomotor activities and body length. In addition, LKM512 treatment enhanced mucus secretion and alleviated intestinal injury, and these results were associated with the upregulation of mucin-related and downregulation of inflammatory markers. Moreover, LKM512 increased the diversity of the microbiota and ameliorated the dysbiosis by increasing the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes and reducing the abundance of Proteobacteria. Specifically, the abundance of beneficial bacteria, including the short-chain fatty-acids (SCFAs)-producing genera Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Muribaculaceae, and Alloprevotella, was increased by LKM512, while the abundance of harmful genera, such as Pseudomonas, Halomonas, and Escherichia-Shigella, was reduced by LKM512. Consistent with these findings, the microbial functions related to metabolism were partly reversed by LKM512, and importantly, fermentation of short-chain fatty acids-related functions were enhanced by LKM512. Therefore, LKM512 might be one potential probiotic for the prevention and treatment of IBD, and further studies that clarify the mechanism of LKM512 would promote the application of LKM512.
