The crosstalk between these two biological processes during IDD pathogenesis remains elusive. Herein, we discovered that chronic inflammation induced apoptosis through a cullin-RING E3 ligase (CRL)-dependent mechanism. Two cullin proteins, CUL4A and 4B, recruited DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1), RING-box protein 1 (RBX1) and DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 6 (DCAF6) to assemble a CRL4DCAF6 E3 ligase in intervertebral discs (IVDs) derived from IDD patients. The CRL4DCAF6 E3 ligase ubiquitinated and degraded C-terminal-binding protein 1 and 2 (CtBP1/2), two homologues of transcriptional corepressors. The degradation of CtBP1/2 disassociated from the p300-forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) complex, inducing the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2)-binding component 3 (BBC3) and causing BBC3-dependent apoptosis. TSC01131, a small molecule that specifically targets CUL4-DDB1 interaction, could inhibit the ubiquitination of CtBP1/2 in vitro and in vivo, thereby decreasing the BBC3 expression level and preventing apoptosis signalling. Using a mouse chronic inflammation model, we found that chronic inflammation could accelerate the IDD process through a conserved CRL4DCAF6-mediated mechanism. The administration of TSC01131 to mice could significantly improve the outcome of IDD. Collectively, our results revealed that inflammation-dependent CRL4DCAF6 E3 ligase triggered apoptosis through the removal of CtBP-mediated transrepression. The blockage of the CRL4DCAF6 E3 ligase by TSC01131 may represent a new therapeutic strategy for IDD treatment. KEY MESSAGES: CUL4A and CUL4B recruited DDB1, RBX1 and DCAF6 to assemble a CRL4DCAF6 E3 ligase in human IDD biopsies. The CRL4DCAF6 E3 ligase ubiquitinated and degraded CtBP1/2, causing BBC3-dependent apoptosis. A small molecule TSC01131 that specifically targets CUL4-DDB1 interaction could inhibit the ubiquitination of CtBP1/2, improving the outcome of IDD in a mouse model."xsd:string |
