Posttranslational regulation of CREB-binding protein expression by F-box leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 19 and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 in the paraventricular nucleus participates in chronic stress-induced symptomatology via the modulation of the hypothalamic‒pituitary‒adrenal axis.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The precise molecular mechanism by which chronic stress promotes the overexpression of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) remains incompletely understood. Previous studies have revealed that cAMP-response element binding (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) directly participates in the regulation of CRH expression. The ubiquitination/degradation and deubiquitination/stabilization of CBP are regulated by F-box leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 19 (FBXL19) and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14), respectively. We hypothesized that the FBXL19-USP14-CBP system in the PVN might contribute to chronic stress-induced CRH release, and various methods were employed in this study. Our results revealed that both chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) induced significant changes in the FBXL19-USP14-CBP system in the PVN of mice. Genetic knockdown of FBXL19, genetic overexpression of USP14/CBP, and stereotactic infusion of TAT-USP14 in the PVN all simulated chronic stress, inducing a similar symptomatology in naïve mice, and this effect was mediated by increased CRH biosynthesis, which required both the CBP‒CREB interaction and the acetyltransferase activity of CBP. In contrast, genetic overexpression of FBXL19 and genetic knockdown of USP14/CBP in the PVN reversed chronic stress-induced symptomatology in mice. Similarly, stereotactic infusion of TAT-FBXL19 into the PVN and intraperitoneal injection of IU1 also reversed chronic stress-induced symptomatology in mice. In addition, genetic knockout of USP14 and FBXL19 prevented and aggravated chronic stress-induced symptomatology in mice, respectively. Collectively, FBXL19, USP14, and CBP in PVN neurons correlate with chronic stress, and they could be viable targets for treating chronic stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression.
