Abstract

To unravel the roles of LXRs in inflammation and immunity, we examined the function of LXRs in development of IFN-gamma-mediated inflammation using cultured rat brain astrocytes. LXR ligands inhibit neither STAT1 phosphorylation nor STAT1 translocation to the nucleus but, rather, inhibit STAT1 binding to promoters and the expression of IRF1, TNFalpha, and IL-6, downstream effectors of STAT1 action. Immunoprecipitation data revealed that LXRbeta formed a trimer with PIAS1-pSTAT1, whereas LXRalpha formed a trimer with HDAC4-pSTAT1, mediated by direct ligand binding to the LXR proteins. In line with the fact that both PIAS1 and HDAC4 belong to the SUMO E3 ligase family, LXRbeta and LXRalpha were SUMO-conjugated by PIAS1 or HDAC4, respectively, and SUMOylation was blocked by transient transfection of appropriate individual siRNAs, reversing LXR-induced suppression of IRF1 and TNFalpha expression. Together, our data show that SUMOylation is required for the suppression of STAT1-dependent inflammatory responses by LXRs in IFN-gamma-stimulated brain astrocytes.

  • HDAC4 belongs to the SUMO E3 ligase family and can directly SUMOylate IκBα, AR, LXRα, and MEF2.

    “Additionally, HDAC4 belongs to the SUMO E3 ligase family and can directly SUMOylate IκBα, AR, LXRα, and MEF217–20.”

    From An HDAC4-specific PROTAC degrader achieves radiation sensitization by enhancing ferroptosis in lung cancer (2026) · cites this paper as [19]

    The Results report that HDAC4 acts as a SUMO E3 ligase and that LXRα was SUMOylated by HDAC4 in brain astrocytes, with in vitro assays providing further confirmation. Our copy does not report HDAC4 directly SUMOylating IκBα, AR, or MEF2; MEF2 appears in cited references, not as a substrate tested here. Page numbers are unavailable in the indexed copy.

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.
