Abstract

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) represents a prevalent pathophysiological process that imposes a substantial economic burden in clinical practice, especially in liver surgery. Sentrin-specific protease 1 (SENP1) is a crucial Enzyme involved in the regulation of SUMOylation, and is related to various diseases. However, the role of SENP1 in HIRI remains unexplored. Here, we confirmed that SENP1 actively participated in modulating the oxidative damage induced by HIRI. Notably, SENP1 functioned by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Further mechanistic exploration indicated that the protective mitochondrial protein sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) was inactivated by SUMOylation during HIRI, which was reversed by SENP1. Overexpression of SENP1 could restore mitochondrial function, mitigate oxidative stress and attenuated Apoptosis through recovering the expression of SIRT3 during HIRI. Nevertheless, 3-TYP, an inhibitor of SIRT3, could eliminate the therapeutic effects brought by overexpression of SENP1. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that SENP1 mediated the deSUMOylation of SIRT3 and maintained mitochondrial homeostasis, thus alleviating HIRI induced oxidative damage. SENP1 might be a promising therapeutic target for HIRI.
