Ube2L6 Promotes M1 Macrophage Polarization in High-Fat Diet-Fed Obese Mice via ISGylation of STAT1 to Trigger STAT1 Activation
2024
Overview
Introduction: In obesity-related type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), M1 macrophages aggravate chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. ISG15-conjugation enzyme E2L6 (Ube2L6) has been demonstrated as a promoter of obesity and insulin resistance. This study investigated the function and mechanism of Ube2L6 in M1 macrophage polarization in obesity. Methods: Obesity was induced in Ube2L6 AKO mice and age-matched Ube2L6 flox/flox control mice by high-fat diet (HFD). Stromal vascular cells were isolated from the epididymal white adipose tissue of mice. Polarization induction was performed in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) by exposure to IFN-γ, lipopolysaccharide, or IL-4. F4/80 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry staining. Expressions of M1/M2 macrophage markers and target molecules were determined by flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting, respectively. Protein interaction was validated by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay. The release of TNF-α and IL-10 was detected by ELISA. Results: The polarization of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages together with an increase in macrophage infiltration was observed in HFD-fed mice, which could be restrained by Ube2L6 knockdown. Additionally, Ube2L6 deficiency triggered the repolarization of BMDMs from M1 to M2 phenotypes. Mechanistically, Ube2L6 promoted the expression and activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) through interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15)-mediated ISGlylation, resulting in M1 macrophage polarization. Conclusion: Ube2L6 exerts as an activator of STAT1 via post-translational modification of STAT1 by ISG15, thereby triggering M1 macrophage polarization in HFD-fed obese mice. Overall, targeting Ube2L6 may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for ameliorating obesity-related T2DM.
