BACKGROUND: Cardiac hypertrophy is a crucial pathological characteristic of hypertensive heart disease and subsequent heart failure. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) have been found to be involved in the regulation of myocardial hypertrophy. OTU Domain-Containing Protein 6a (OTUD6a) is a recently identified DUB. To date, the potential role of OTUD6a in myocardial hypertrophy has not yet been revealed.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We examined the up-regulated level of OTUD6a in mouse or human hypertrophic heart tissues. Then, transverse aortic constriction (TAC)- or angiotensin II (Ang II)- induced ventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction were significantly attenuated in OTUD6a gene knockout mice (OTUD6a-/-). In mechanism, we identified that the Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) is a direct substrate protein of OTUD6a via immunoprecipitation assay and mass spectrometry. OTUD6a maintains STING stability via clearing the K48-linked ubiquitin in cardiomyocytes. Subsequently, OTUD6a regulates the STING-downstream NF-κB signaling activation and inflammatory gene expression both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of STING blocked OTUD6a overexpression-induced inflammatory and hypertrophic responses in cardiomyocytes.
CONCLUSION: This finding extends our understanding of the detrimental role of OTUD6a in myocardial hypertrophy and identifies STING as a deubiquinating substrate of OTUD6a, indicating that targeting OTUD6a could be a potential strategy for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.
