Myeloid-specific Hdac10 deletion protects against LPS-induced acute lung injury via P62 acetylation at lysine 165.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Aberrant activation of macrophages is associated with pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). However, the potential pathogenesis has not been explored. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify whether histone deacetylase (HDAC) 10 is involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-exposed ALI and reveal the underlying pathogenesis by which it promotes lung inflammation in LPS-exposed ALI via modifying P62 with deacetylation. METHODS: We constructed an ALI mice model stimulated with LPS to determine the positive effect of Hdac10 deficiency. Moreover, we cultured murine alveolar macrophage cell line (MH-S cells) and primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to explore the pro-inflammatory activity and mechanism of HDAC10 after LPS challenge. RESULTS: HDAC10 expression was increased both in mice lung tissues and macrophage cell lines and promoted inflammatory cytokines production exposed to LPS. Hdac10 deficiency inhibited autophagy and inflammatory response after LPS stimulation. In vivo, Hdac10fl/fl-LysMCre mice considerably attenuated lung inflammation and inflammatory cytokines release exposed to LPS. Mechanistically, HDAC10 interacts with P62 and mediates P62 deacetylation at lysine 165 (K165), by which it promotes P62 expression and increases inflammatory cytokines production. Importantly, we identified that Salvianolic acid B (SAB), an HDAC10 inhibitor, reduces lung inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated ALI. CONCLUSION: These results uncover a previously unknown role for HDAC10 in regulating P62 deacetylation and aggravating lung inflammation in LPS-induced ALI, implicating that targeting HDAC10 is an effective therapy for LPS-exposed ALI.
