Tripartite motif (TRIM)22 plays an important role in IFN-mediated antiviral activity. We previously demonstrated that IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-1 was crucial for basal and IFN-induced TRIM22 transcription via binding to a novel cis-element named 5′ extended IFN-stimulating response element. In this study, we investigated the role of histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in TRIM22 induction by IFN-γ and its underlying mechanism. We found that the HDAC activity, especially that conferred by HDAC6, was required for IFN-γ–induced TRIM22 transcription. Importantly, inhibition of HDAC activity by trichostatin A (TSA) enhanced the hyperacetylation of heat shock protein (HSP)90 and suppressed its chaperone activity for IRF-1. Further study showed that TSA treatment promoted the proteasomal degradation of IRF-1 protein via enhancing the association of IRF-1 with the ubiquitin E3 ligase carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein. Moreover, carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein was found to be involved in the TSA-mediated inhibitory effect on IFN-γ induction of TRIM22 as well as other IRF-1–dependent IFN-stimulated genes. This study may provide novel insight into the role of HDAC activity in the transcriptional control of IFN-stimulated gene induction.

Background: Endoscopic transaxillary augmentation mammaplasty breast augmentation offers several advantages over other augmentation methods. Nonetheless, this procedure is fraught with some problems, including greater surgical trauma due to the longer separation area. We hypothesized that cold separation of the interpectoral space could reduce surgical injury in comparison to the electrosurgical method. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of endoscopic-assisted transaxillary augmentation mammaplasty using cold separation versus electrosurgical separation of the interpectoral space. Methods: In this prospective clinical trial, cold and electrosurgical separation of the interpectoral space were achieved using a separation shovel and monopolar electrotome, respectively. A total of 20 patients who visited our department in Beijing, China, for primary breast augmentation surgeries from October 1, 2017, and May 31, 2018, were included. The primary outcome was total postoperative drainage volume. The secondary outcomes were operative time, daily drainage volume, daily pain as assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), and reoperation rate. Quantitative data were compared using independent-samples t test. Chi-square test was used to compare 2 classified indexes. Results: The total drainage volume was significantly lower in the cold separation group than in the electrosurgical separation group (170.45 ± 75.40 mL vs 281.05 ± 148.43 mL; P = .005). The VAS score on the first postoperative day was significantly lower in the cold separation group than in the electrosurgical separation group (6.45 ± 1.93 vs 7.55 ± 1.43; P = .048). Two (20%) reoperations owing to postoperative pain or implant stiffness were performed in the electrosurgical separation group. Conclusions: Cold separation is more conducive to reducing drainage, relieving postoperative pain, and causing less damage than the electrosurgical method in endoscopic-assisted transaxillary dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty.
