Lung-specific CRBN knockout attenuates influenza a virus-induced acute lung injury in mice: a potential therapeutic approach by Lifang Zhang, Qingchao Zhang, Jiahui Chang, Yunyi Zhou, Wei Wang, Xiliang Wang, Chengyu Jiang, Yanli Zhang

“…Using Sftpc-Cre; Crbn flox/flox lung-specific Crbn knockout mice, we demonstrated that Crbn deficiency significantly decreased mortality, weight loss, lung pathology, edema, and viral load in PR8-infected mice. PR8-infected Sftpc-Cre; Crbn flox/flox mice exhibited a marked reduction in lung inflammatory cell infiltration and suppression of MAPK pathway activation, highlighted by a significant downregulation of the MKK4-JNK-c-JUN signaling cascade. …”

Staphylococcus aureus induces mitophagy via the HDAC11/IL10 pathway to sustain intracellular survival by Yaji Yang, Haotian Zhou, Feilong Li, Yanhao Zhang, Jianye Yang, Yidong Shen, Ning Hu, Quanming Zou, Leilei Qin, Hao Zeng, Wei Huang

“…Additionally, we discovered that the transcriptional repressor of IL10, HDAC11, was significantly downregulated during S. aureus infection. Overexpression of HDAC11 and the use of the autophagy activator rapamycin further validated that the HDAC11/IL10 axis regulates mitophagy via the mTOR pathway, which is essential for supporting S. aureus intracellular survival. …”
