Article Abstract
LACC1 genetic variants are associated with multiple immune-mediated diseases. However, laccase domain containing-1 (LACC1) functions are incompletely defined. We find that upon stimulation of the pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) NOD2, LACC1 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and forms a complex with ER-stress sensors. All three ER-stress branches, PERK, IRE1α, and ATF6, are required for NOD2-induced signaling, cytokines, and antimicrobial pathways in human macrophages. LACC1, and its localization to the ER, is required for these outcomes. Relative to wild-type (WT) LACC1, transfection of the common Val254 and rare Arg284 immune-mediated disease-risk LACC1 variants into HeLa cells and macrophages, as well as macrophages from LACC1 Val254 carriers, shows reduced NOD2-induced ER stress-associated outcomes; these downstream outcomes are restored by rescuing ER stress. Therefore, we identify ER stress to be essential in PRR-induced outcomes in macrophages, define a critical role for LACC1 in these ER stress-dependent events, and elucidate how LACC1 disease-risk variants mediate these outcomes.

Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) represents the most prevalent chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. Its etiology is multifactorial, with growing evidence pointing to a significant genetic contribution to disease susceptibility. Recent genomic studies have identified a range of inherited variants associated with distinct arthritis phenotypes, among which LACC1-related arthritis has emerged as a notable contributor, particularly in familial cases with variable clinical presentations.

To explore the function and potential mechanism of laccase domain-containing 1 (LACC1) on atherosclerosis (AS). ApoE mice feed with high-fat diet (HFD) were injected with adenovirus shLACC1 (Ad-shLACC1) or Ad-shNC via tail vein. LACC1 was highly expressed in macrophages of atherosclerotic plaque in ApoE mice and ox-LDL-treated Raw264.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a multifaceted degenerative disease characterized by progressive cartilage degradation, chronic pain, and functional limitations of the TMJ, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Although metabolic homeostasis in chondrocytes is crucial for cartilage health, the mechanisms underlying metabolic dysregulation in TMJOA remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the metabolic imbalance in TMJOA cartilage and explore novel therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic reprogramming.

Isocyanic acid, as a reactive metabolite synthesized by the enzyme LACC1, can carbamoylate the ε-amino group of lysine residues in proteins. However, the role of isocyanic acid in inflammatory response remains elusive. Herein, we reveal that lipopolysaccharide stimulation increases LACC1-dependent isocyanic acid production, which attenuates inflammation by limiting the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages primed with lipopolysaccharide for 8 hours.

Article Synopsis
- Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a complex condition with unknown causes, and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a multisystem disease featuring a variety of symptoms, including arthritis.
- The report discusses a patient with short stature, neurodevelopmental delay, and joint issues diagnosed with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, who suffered an episode of polyarticular arthritis at a young age.
- Whole Genome Sequencing found no direct genetic links to arthritis, but identified 41 risk factors suggesting that the patient's arthritis may be unrelated to his deletion syndrome and due to multiple contributing factors.
