Macrophage HIF-2α suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation and alleviates insulin resistance.

摘要
The interrelation between hypoxia and immune response has pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of chronic metabolic diseases. However, the role of macrophage HIF-2α in NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains unclear. Here, we show that deficiency of HIF-2α in macrophages results in excessive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in a manner dependent on CPT1A-mediated enhancement of fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Mechanistically, HIF-2α binds directly to the Cpt1a promoter and is involved in the regulation of H3K27me3 methylation during NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Myeloid-specific Hif2α knockout mice exhibit exacerbated insulin resistance and increased activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. Overexpression of the Hif2α gene or stabilization of the protein by FG-4592 ameliorates insulin resistance and reduces NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages. Taken together, our results suggest that macrophage HIF-2α inhibits FAO-mediated activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and alleviates insulin resistance.
