The suppression of HSPA8 attenuates NLRP3 ubiquitination through SKP2 to promote pyroptosis in sepsis-induced lung injury

Abstract Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is strongly associated with hospitalization and mortality in patients with sepsis. Recent evidence suggests that pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3(NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome activation plays a key role in sepsis. However, the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in sepsis-induced lung injury remains unclear. Results in this study, we demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammasome was activated by the down-regulation of heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-treated mouse alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA)-induced HSPA8 overexpression in cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) mice could significantly reduce systemic inflammatory response and mortality, effectively protect lung function, whilst HSPA8 inhibitor VER155008 aggravated this effect. The inhibition of HSPA8 was involved in sepsis induced acute lung injury by promoting pyroptosis of AECs. The down-regulation of HSPA8 activated NLRP3 inflammasome to mediate pyroptosis by promoting the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligase S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2). In addition, when stimulated by LPS and ATP, down-regulated SKP2 promoted pyroptosis of AECs by further attenuating ubiquitination of NLRP3. Adeno-associated virus 9-SKP2(AAV9-SKP2) could promote NLRP3 ubiquitination and degradation, alleviate lung injury and inhibit systemic inflammatory response in vivo. Conclusion in summary, our study shows there is strong statistical evidence that the suppression of HSPA8 mediates alveolar epithelial pyroptosis by promoting the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligase SKP2 and subsequently attenuating the ubiquitination of NLRP3 to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, which provides a new perspective and therapeutic target for the treatment of sepsis-induced lung injury.
