摘要

The activation of pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in macrophages is a risk factor accelerating the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Here, the function of pellino 1 (Peli1) in regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome during the development of AS was investigated. Our results showed that Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) knockdown could inhibit the progression of AS in vivo, and YB-1 silencing repressed oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-mediated lipid accumulation and inflammation in macrophages by inactivating NLRP3 inflammasome. E3 ubiquitination ligase Peli1 mediated ubiquitination-dependent degradation of YB-1 during AS progression. Moreover, it was found that YTH domain-containing 2 (YTHDC2) recognized methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)-mediated Peli1 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and mediated Peli1 mRNA degradation. Rescue studies revealed that YB-1 upregulation abrogated the repressive effect of Peli1 upregulation on AS progression both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, Peli1, regulated by m6A modification, inhibited YB-1-mediated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages by promoting YB-1 ubiquitination to suppress the progression of AS.
