摘要

The balance between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation critically regulate cellular apoptosis, with SUMO-modified proteins implicated in ischemia/hypoxia injury. However, the specific contributions of SUMO-conjugated proteins in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remain poorly defined. SUMOylation in IRI was investigated Using proximal tubular-specific Senp3 conditional knockout (CKO) mice. While SENP3-deficiency did not induce tubular injury under basal conditions, its significantly attenuated renal damage following IRI. SUMOylation conferred protection against apoptosis in renal tubular epithelia cells during ischemia/hypoxia. Mass spectrometry revealed arginosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) as a key SUMO2/3 target (modified at K239 and K310) in IRI progression. Mechanistically, SENP3-mediated deSUMOylation promoted ASS1 nuclear accumulation in post-IRI tubular epithelial cells, subsequently activating the intrinsic apoptosis pathway via p53-dependent transcriptional upregulation. These findings nominate the SENP3-ASS1-p53 axis as a potential therapeutic target for renal IRI.
