In this study, we identified UCHL1 as a positive regulator of M1 macrophage polarization. Our findings may help in developing therapeutic interventions for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pathogenic infections.
Background: As deubiquitinases (DUBs), ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase (UCH)-L1 has been shown to play a crucial role in regulating diverse biological processes. However, its function in macrophage polarization remains unclear. Methods: We performed in vivo and in vitro experiments to investigate the role of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1), a kind of DUBs, in macrophage differentiation by using UCHL1-deficiency mice. Results: We demonstrated that LPS stimulation induced UCHL1 expression in macrophages. The deficiency of UCHL1 expression decreased the expression of CD80 and CD86 but increased the expression of CD206. The expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, iNOS, and IL-10 was downregulated, while that of Arg1, Ym1, and Fizz1 was upregulated in UCHL1 deficient macrophages. Moreover, we observed that UCHL1 promoted the degradation of p110 alpha through autophagy, but paradoxically increased the activity of AKT, thereby promoting polarization of macrophages into pro-inflammatory states. Conclusion: In this study, we identified UCHL1 as a positive regulator of M1 macrophage polarization. Our findings may help in developing therapeutic interventions for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pathogenic infections.
