摘要
Abstract Sepsis‐induced acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by inflammatory damage to pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cells. The aim of this study is to probe the significance and mechanism of tripartite motif‐containing protein 21 ( TRIM21 ) in sepsis‐induced ALI. The sepsis‐induced ALI mouse model was established by cecum ligation and puncture. The mice were infected with lentivirus and treated with proteasome inhibitor MG132. The lung respiratory damage, levels of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), tumour necrosis factor α (TNF‐α), IL‐10 and pathological changes were observed. The expression levels of TRIM21 , interferon regulatory factors 1 ( IRF1 ) and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 ( TREM2 ) were measured and their interactions were analysed. The ubiquitination level of IRF1 was detected. TRIM21 and TREM2 were downregulated and IRF1 was upregulated in sepsis‐induced ALI mice. TRIM21 overexpression eased inflammation and lung injury. TRIM21 promoted IRF1 degradation via ubiquitination modification. IRF1 bonded to the TREM2 promoter to inhibit its transcription. Overexpression of IRF1 or silencing TREM2 reversed the improvement of TRIM21 overexpression on lung injury in mice. In conclusion, TRIM21 reduced IRF1 expression by ubiquitination to improve TREM2 expression and ameliorate sepsis‐induced ALI.
