Tendinopathy is characterized by tendon degeneration and inflammation. However, little is known about the role of selective autophagy in tendinopathy. Here, we find that pristimerin (PM), a quinone methide triterpenoid, is more effective in treating tendinopathy than the first-line drug indomethacin. PM inhibits the AIM2 inflammasome and alleviates inflammation during tendinopathy by promoting the autophagic degradation of AIM2 through a PYCARD/ASC-dependent manner. A mechanistic study shows that PM enhances the K63-linked ubiquitin chains of PYCARD/ASC at K158/161, which serves as a recognition signal for SQSTM1/p62-mediated autophagic degradation of the AIM2-PYCARD/ASC complex. We further identify that PM binds the Cys53 site of deubiquitinase USP50 through the Michael-acceptor and blocks the binding of USP50 to PYCARD/ASC, thereby reducing USP50-mediated cleavage of K63-linked ubiquitin chains of PYCARD/ASC. Finally, PM treatment <i>in vivo</i> generates an effect comparable to inflammasome deficiency in alleviating tendinopathy. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that PM alleviates the progression of tendinopathy by modulating AIM2-PYCARD/ASC stability <i>via</i> SQSTM1/p62-mediated selective autophagic degradation, thus providing a promising autophagy-based therapeutic for tendinopathy.<b>Abbreviations:</b> 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; AIM2: absent in melanoma 2; AT: Achilles tenotomy; ATP: adenosine triphosphate; BMDMs: bone marrow-derived macrophages; CHX: cycloheximide; <i>Col3a1</i>: collagen, type III, alpha 1; CQ: chloroquine; Cys: cysteine; DARTS: drug affinity responsive target stability; DTT: dithiothreitol; DUB: deubiquitinase; gDNA: genomic DNA; GSH: glutathione; His: histidine; IL1B/IL-1β: interleukin 1 beta; IND: indomethacin; IP: immunoprecipitation; LPS: lipopolysaccharide; MMP: mitochondrial membrane potential; NLRP3: NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3; PM: pristimerin; PYCARD/ASC: PYD and CARD domain containing; SN: supernatants; SOX9: SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; <i>Tgfb</i>: transforming growth factor, beta; TIMP3: tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3; TNMD: tenomodulin; TRAF6: TNF receptor-associated factor 6; Ub: ubiquitin; USP50: ubiquitin specific peptidase 50; WCL: whole cell lysates.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"76-93"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10761048/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10121577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like neurons, glial cells are important contributors to PD, yet how autophagy is executed in glia and whether it is using similar interplay as in neurons or other tissues, remain largely elusive. Recently, we reported that the PD risk factor, GAK/aux (cyclin-G-associated kinase/auxilin), regulates the onset of glial autophagy. In the absence of GAK/aux, the number and size of the autophagosomes and autophagosomal precursors increase in adult fly glia and mouse microglia. The protein levels of components in the initiation and class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns3K) complexes are generally upregulated. GAK/aux interacts with the master initiation regulator ULK1/Atg1 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1) via its uncoating domain, hinders autophagy activation by competing with ATG13 (autophagy related 13) for binding to the ULK1 C terminus, and regulates ULK1 trafficking to phagophores. Nonetheless, lack of GAK/aux impairs the autophagic flux and blocks substrate degradation, suggesting that GAK/aux might play additional roles. Overall, our findings reveal a new regulator of autophagy initiation in glia, advancing our understanding on how glia contribute to PD in terms of eliminating pathological protein aggregates.<b>Abbreviations:</b> ATG13: autophagy related 13; GAK/aux: cyclin G associated kinase/auxilin; PtdIns3K: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; PD: Parkinson disease; ULK1/Atg1: unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"207-209"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10761159/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10095108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
