摘要

The membrane pore-forming gasdermin (GSDM) proteins are essential executors of pyroptosis. The GSDM family members GSDMD and GSDME can also target mitochondrial membranes, driving apoptosis. Here, we identify the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L as a key regulator of GSDMD and GSDME, two GSDMs involved in cell death. NEDD4L ubiquitinates both these proteins to control their stability and intracellular expression levels. Knockout of mouse Nedd4l (also called Nedd4-2) results in lung and kidney damage with perinatal lethality within three weeks of birth. These mice demonstrated elevated GSDMD in alveolar epithelia and increased GSDME in kidney tubular epithelia, suggesting tissue-specific regulation by NEDD4L. Renal tubule-specific Nedd4l knockout mice showed GSDM activation, tubular cell death and reduced kidney function after high sodium diet. NEDD4L-deficient cells showed increased GSDM activation, IL-1β release and were significantly more susceptible to cell death induced by NLRP3 agonists, cytotoxic agents, and bacterial infection. These results demonstrate that NEDD4L regulates GSDMD and GSDME functions by preventing their accumulation and reveals an unexplored link between GSDM stability and cell death.
