Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe lung damage characterized by acute hypoxemia, increased pulmonary vascular permeability, and inflammatory reactions. Despite current treatments, mortality from ALI remains high. This study found that Sec13 is highly expressed in ALI and regulates it by glycolysis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In an ALI mouse model and cell model, Sec13 expression increased, accompanied by enhanced glycolysis, EMT, and inflammation. Sec13 knockdown suppressed these effects, alleviating ALI. Sec13 forms a protein complex with Pgm1, an enzyme regulating glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) production, and Ubqln1, an ubiquitin ligase. Sec13 inhibits Ubqln1-mediated Pgm1 ubiquitination, thereby stabilizing Pgm1. In ALI, Pgm1 binding to Sec13 increased but binding to Ubqln1 decreased. Sec13 knockdown decreased lactate, G6P, EMT markers, and inflammatory cytokines. Pgm1 knockdown produced similar effects. Ubqln1 overexpression suppressed inflammation but decreased Pgm1 expression. In conclusion, Sec13 plays a key role in ALI by inhibiting Ubqln1-mediated Pgm1 ubiquitination, affecting glycolysis and EMT. Sec13 and Pgm1 may be new targets for treating ALI.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease. This journal covers aspects of aging, cancer, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based disease. Manuscripts focused on using animal models to elucidate biochemical and mechanistic insight in each of these conditions, are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying mechanisms of disease pathways and provide novel contributions to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders. Highly descriptive and method development submissions may be declined without full review. The submission of uninvited reviews to BBA - Molecular Basis of Disease is strongly discouraged, and any such uninvited review should be accompanied by a coverletter outlining the compelling reasons why the review should be considered.
