The function of Latexin (LXN) in inflammation has attracted attention. However, no data are available regarding its role in colitis. We report that LXN is a suppressor of colitis. LXN deficiency leads to the severity of colitis in DSS-induced mice, and LXN is required for the therapeutic effect of retinoic acid on colitis. Using a proteomics approach, we demonstrate that LXN interacts and forms a functional complex with HECTD1 (an E3 ubiquitin ligase) and ribosomal protein subunit3 (Rps3). I kappa B alpha is one of the substrates of HECTD1. Ectopic expression of LXN leads to I kappa B alpha accumulation in intestinal epithelial cells, however, LXN knockdown enhances the interaction of HECTD1 and Rps3, contributing to the ubiquitination degradation of I kappa B alpha, and subsequently enhances inflammatory response. Thus, our findings provided a novel mechanism underlying LXN modulates colitis via HECTD1/Rps3/NF-kappa B pathway and significant implications for the development of novel strategies for the treatment of colitis by targeting LXN.
