Selective degradation of BET proteins with dBET1, a proteolysis-targeting chimera, potently reduces pro-inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide-activated microglia
Abstract
Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins are essential to pro-inflammatory gene transcription. The BET family proteins, BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and testis-specific BRDT, couple chromatin remodeling to gene transcription, acting as histone acetyltransferases, scaffolds for transcription complexes, and markers of histone acetylation. To initiate an inflammatory response, cells undergo de novo gene transcription requiring histone-modifying proteins to make DNA wrapped around histones more or less readily available to transcription complexes. Because BET proteins are the gatekeepers of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-dependent gene transcription, we hypothesized that degradation of BET proteins, particularly BRD2 and BRD4, with the proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) dBET1 would dampen the pro-inflammatory response in microglia subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Degradation of BRD2 and BRD4 was associated with significantly reduced expression of several pro-inflammatory genes: inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α), IL-6, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). This is the first study showing that dBET1-mediated targeted degradation of BET proteins robustly dampens pro-inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated microglia. These data suggest that BET degradation with dBET1 will likely reduce expression of pro-inflammatory genes in in vivo neuroinflammatory models associated with microglial/immune cell activation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
