Estrogen Receptor β Activation Inhibits Colitis by Promoting the NLRP6-Mediated Autophagy


ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) and NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 6 (NLRP6) are highly expressed in intestinal tissues and reduce intestinal inflammation, but their underlying mechanisms are unclear. We found that ERβ and NLRP6 levels were reduced in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and that deletion of ERβ or NLRP6 was exacerbated colitis in mouse models. We discovered that ERβ exerted its anti-inflammatory activity by inducing NLRP6-mediated autophagy. Specifically, ERβ directly regulated NLRP6 gene expression and NLRP6 inflammasome activation through genomic and non-genomic effects. NLRP6 directly interacted with multiple autophagy-related proteins (including ULK1, BECN1, ATG5-ATG12-ATG16L1 complex, p62, and PHB2). Autophagy stimulation suppresses the inflammatory response by eliminating excess ERβ, NLRP6, ASC, Casp-1, IL-1β, TNF-α and damaged mitochondria. These findings indicate that ERβ-NLRP6-autophagy forms a negative feedback loop to maintain intestinal epithelial cell homeostasis and facilitate tissue repair.
