Abstract
Deubiquitinating enzymes play a vital role in cardiovascular diseases. This study found that cardiomyocyte ubiquitin-specific protease 25 (USP25) expression was downregulated both in myocardial tissue of obesity cardiomyopathy and palmitic acid–stimulated cardiomyocytes. USP25 deficiency exacerbated high-fat diet–induced ventricular remodeling in mice, whereas overexpression of USP25 in cardiomyocytes reversed this pathological phenotype. Mechanistically, USP25 directly binds to TAK1 and P62, and the 178-cysteine of USP25 removes the K63 ubiquitin chain from P62, which promotes the degradation of TAK1 through the autophagy-lysosome pathway, thereby ameliorating obesity-induced ventricular remodeling by reducing inflammation through the TAK1-MAPK pathway. This finding identifies USP25 as a potential therapeutic target for obesity cardiomyopathy.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
