Hepatocyte CD36 modulates UBQLN1-mediated proteasomal degradation of autophagic SNARE proteins contributing to septic liver injury
Autophagy(2023)
摘要
Macroautophagy/autophagy plays a protective role in sepsis-induced liver injury. As a member of class B scavenger receptors, CD36 plays important roles in various disorders, such as atherosclerosis and fatty liver disease. Here we found that the expression of CD36 in hepatocytes was increased in patients and a mouse model with sepsis, accompanied by impaired autophagy flux. Furthermore, hepatocyte cd36 knockout (cd36-HKO) markedly improved liver injury and the impairment of autophagosome-lysosome fusion in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic mice. Ubqln1 (ubiquilin 1) overexpression (OE) in hepatocyte blocked the protective effect of cd36-HKO on LPS-induced liver injury in mice. Mechanistically, with LPS stimulation, CD36 on the plasma membrane was depalmitoylated and distributed to the lysosome, where CD36 acted as a bridge molecule linking UBQLN1 to soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins and hence promoting the proteasomal degradation of SNARE proteins, resulting in fusion impairment. Overall, our data reveal that CD36 is essential for modulating the proteasomal degradation of autophagic SNARE proteins in a UBQLN1-dependent manner. Targeting CD36 in hepatocytes is effective for improving autophagic flux in sepsis and therefore represents a promising therapeutic strategy for clinical treatment of septic liver injury.
