TRIM11 Prevents Ferroptosis in model of asthma by UBE2N-TAX1BP1 signaling.

Asthma is a complex chronic respiratory inflammatory disease affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, our study explored the influence of TRIM11 on asthma and its underlying mechanisms. Our research involved patients diagnosed with asthma and healthy volunteers recruited from our hospital. We observed a reduction in serum TRIM11 expression in asthma patients, which positively correlated with the levels of anti-IgE or IgE. Additionally, both TRIM11 mRNA and protein expression in lung tissue were diminished. The introduction of the TRIM11 gene resulted in a reduction in inflammation in an in vitro asthma model and prevented the development of asthma in a mouse model. Moreover, the TRIM11 gene exhibited a suppressive effect on Ferroptosis and mitigated ROS-induced mitochondrial damage in the asthma model. TRIM11 was found to stimulate UBE2N-TAX1BP1 signaling in the asthma model, with UBE2N being identified as the specific target for TRIM11's effects on Ferroptosis. Furthermore, TRIM11 protein interacted with UBE2N protein and facilitated the dissociation of UBE2N-UBE2N in the asthma model. In conclusion, TRIM11 plays a vital role in preventing Ferroptosis in the asthma model through UBE2N-TAX1BP1 signaling. This indicates that targeting the TRIM11 mechanism could serve as a promising strategy for anti-Ferroptosis immunotherapy in asthma treatment.
