Macrophages play a role in DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DCM), but the mechanisms undlerlying this relationship remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate how IKKα regulates macrophage activation and contributes to DCM in a mouse model. Specifically, the role of macrophage IKKα was evaluated in macrophage-specific IKKα knockout mice that received DOX injections. The findings revealed increased expression of IKKα in heart tissues after DOX administration. In mice lacking macrophage IKKα, myocardial injury, ventricular remodeling, inflammation, and proinflammatory macrophage activation worsened in response to DOX administration. Bone marrow transplant studies confirmed that IKKα deficiency exacerbated cardiac dysfunction. Macrophage IKKα knockout also led to mitochondrial damage and metabolic dysfunction in macrophages, thereby resulting in increased cardiomyocyte injury and oxidative stress. Single-cell sequencing analysis revealed that IKKα directly binds to STAT3, leading to the activation of STAT3 phosphorylation at S727. Interestingly, the inhibition of STAT3-S727 phosphorylation suppressed both DCM and cardiomyocyte injury. In conclusion, the IKKα-STAT3-S727 signaling pathway was found to play a crucial role in DOX-induced cardiomyopathy.

Activation of transcriptional factor c-Myc promotes TEC proliferation following KI/R; however, the mechanism regarding c-Myc activation in TEC is incompletely known. Heat shock protein A12A (HSPA12A) is an atypic member of HSP70 family. In this study, we found that KI/R decreased HSPA12A expression in mouse kidneys and TEC, while ablation of HSPA12A in mice impaired TEC proliferation and renal functional recovery following KI/R. Gain-of-functional studies demonstrated that HSPA12A promoted TEC proliferation upon hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) through directly interacting with c-Myc and enhancing its nuclear localization to upregulate expression of its target genes related to TEC proliferation. Notably, c-Myc was lactylated in TEC after H/R, and this lactylation was enhanced by HSPA12A overexpression. Importantly, inhibition of c-Myc lactylation attenuated the HSPA12A-induced increases of c-Myc nuclear localization, proliferation-related gene expression, and TEC proliferation. Further experiments revealed that HSPA12A promoted c-Myc lactylation via increasing the glycolysis-derived lactate generation in a Hif1α-dependent manner. The results unraveled a role of HSPA12A in promoting TEC proliferation and facilitating renal recovery following KI/R, and this role of HSPA12A was achieved through increasing lactylation-mediated c-Myc activation.

The actin cytoskeleton is necessary for receptor-mediated endocytosis, but its role in TLR4 endocytosis remains elusive. Here we show that Tropomodulin 1 (Tmod1), an actin capping protein, inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TLR4 endocytosis and intracellular trafficking in macrophages. Thus it resulted in increased surface TLR4 and the upregulation of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)-dependent pathway and the downregulation of TIR domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β (TRIF)-dependent pathway, leading to the enhanced secretion of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-6, and the reduced secretion of cytokines, such as IFN-β. Macrophages deficient with Tmod1 relieved the inflammatory response in LPS-induced acute lung injury mouse model. Mechanistically, Tmod1 negatively regulated LPS-induced TLR4 endocytosis and inflammatory response through modulating the activity of CD14/Syk/PLCγ2/IP3/Ca²⁺ signaling pathway, the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton, and the membrane tension.
