SS-31 inhibits the inflammatory response by increasing ATG5 and promoting autophagy in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated HepG2 cells
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications(2024)
Abstract
SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeting short peptide. Recent studies have indicated its hepatoprotective effects. In our study, we investigated the impact of SS-31 on LPS-induced autophagy in HepG2 cells. The results obtained from a dual-fluorescence autophagy detection system revealed that SS-31 promotes the formation of autolysosomes and autophagosomes, thereby facilitating autophagic flux to a certain degree. Additionally, both ELISA and qPCR analyses provided further evidence that SS-31 safeguards HepG2 cells against inflammatory responses triggered by LPS through ATG5-dependent autophagy. In summary, our study demonstrates that SS-31 inhibits LPS-stimulated inflammation in HepG2 cells by upregulating ATG5-dependent autophagy.
