Our data revealed that RNF149 in infiltrated macrophages restricted inflammation by promoting ubiquitylation-dependent proteasomal degradation of IFNGR1 (interferon gamma receptor 1). Loss of IFNGR1 rescued deleterious effects of RNF149 deficiency on MI. We further demonstrated that STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) activation induced <i>Rnf149</i> transcription, which, in turn, destabilized the IFNGR1 protein to counteract type-II IFN (interferon) signaling, creating a feedback control mechanism to fine-tune macrophage-driven inflammation.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These findings highlight the significance of RNF149 as a molecular brake on macrophage response to MI and uncover a macrophage-intrinsic posttranslational mechanism essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and facilitating cardiac repair following MI.</p>","PeriodicalId":10147,"journal":{"name":"Circulation research","volume":" ","pages":"518-536"},"PeriodicalIF":16.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141579122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
