FAM76B regulates NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by influencing the translocation of hnRNPA2B1

Abstract

AbstractFAM76B has been reported to be a nuclear speckle localized protein with unknown function. In this study, FAM76B was first demonstrated to inhibit the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by affecting the translocation of hnRNPA2B1in vitro.We further showed that FAM76B suppressed inflammation by regulating the NF-κB pathwayin vivousing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model in FAM76B knockout mice. Lastly, FAM76B was shown to interact with hnRNPA2B1 in human tissues taken from patients with acute, organizing, and chronic TBI, and with different neurodegenerative diseases. The results suggested that FAM76B mediates neuroinflammation by influencing the translocation of hnRNPA2B1in vivoduring TBI repair and neurodegenerative diseases. In summary, we for the first time demonstrated the role of FAM76B in regulating inflammation and further showed that FAM76B could regulate the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by affecting hnRNPA2B1 translocation, which provides new information for studying the mechanism of inflammation regulation.
