  • Title: Mitochondrial GRIM-19 loss in parietal cells promotes spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia through NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3)-mediated IL-33 activation via a reactive oxygen species (ROS) -NRF2- Heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)-NF-кB axis.

    Abstract:
    Spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM), as a pre-neoplastic precursor of intestinal metaplasia (IM), plays critical roles in the development of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and gastric cancer (GC). However, the pathogenetic targets responsible for the SPEM pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality 19 (GRIM-19), an essential subunit of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, was progressively lost along with malignant transformation of human CAG, little is known about the potential link between GRIM-19 loss and CAG pathogenesis. Here, we show that lower GRIM-19 is associated with higher NF-кB RelA/p65 and NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) levels in CAG lesions. Functionally, GRIM-19 deficiency fails to drive direct differentiation of human GES-1 cells into IM or SPEM-like cell lineages in vitro, whereas parietal cells (PCs)-specific GRIM-19 knockout disturbs gastric glandular differentiation and promotes spontaneous gastritis and SPEM pathogenesis without intestinal characteristics in mice. Mechanistically, GRIM-19 loss causes chronic mucosal injury and aberrant NRF2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2)- HO-1 (Heme oxygenase-1) activation via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress, resulting in aberrant NF-кB activation by inducing p65 nuclear translocation via an IKK/IкB partner, while NRF2-HO-1 activation contributes to GRIM-19 loss-driven NF-кB activation via a positive feedback NRF2-HO-1 loop. Furthermore, GRIM-19 loss did not cause obvious PCs loss but triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation in PCs via a ROS-NRF2-HO-1-NF-кB axis, leading to NLRP3-dependent IL-33 expression, a key mediator for SPEM formation. Moreover, intraperitoneal administration of NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 drastically attenuates GRIM-19 loss-driven gastritis and SPEM in vivo. Our study suggests that mitochondrial GRIM-19 maybe a potential pathogenetic target for the SPEM pathogenesis, and its deficiency promotes SPEM through NLRP3/IL-33 pathway via a ROS-NRF2-HO-1-NF-кB axis. This finding not only provides a causal link between GRIM-19 loss and SPEM pathogenesis, but offers potential therapeutic strategies for the early prevention of intestinal GC.
