SENP3 protects hepatocyte from pyroptosis during acute liver injury through deSUMOylation of HNRNPL
Summary: Protein SUMOylation is crucial in both physiological and pathological contexts, but its role in acute liver injury (ALI) is poorly understood. We found that SENP3, a SUMO2/3 protease, rapidly accumulates in hepatocytes around the pericentral vein zone within 2 h of carbon tetrachloride (CCl...

| description | Summary: Protein SUMOylation is crucial in both physiological and pathological contexts, but its role in acute liver injury (ALI) is poorly understood. We found that SENP3, a SUMO2/3 protease, rapidly accumulates in hepatocytes around the pericentral vein zone within 2 h of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury in mice. Knockout of SENP3 in hepatocytes worsens liver damage and promotes pyroptosis. Mechanistically, SENP3 interacts with the RNA-binding protein HNRNPL, facilitating its deSUMOylation and proteasomal degradation. This reduction of HNRNPL decreases nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (Neat1) levels, impairing its ability to activate caspase-1 and induce pyroptosis. Moreover, in patients with drug-induced ALI, the levels of both SENP3 and HNRNPL are strongly correlated with pyroptosis. In conclusion, the SENP3-HNRNPL-Neat1 axis functions as a rapid stress sensor to mitigate excessive pyroptosis during ALI, making SENP3 and HNRNPL promising therapeutic targets. |
