Nowadays potential preclinical drugs for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)have failed to achieve expected therapeutic efficacy because the pathogenic mechanisms are *** rhomboid protein 2(IRHOM2),a promising target for treatment of inflammation-related diseases,contributes to deregulated hepatocyte metabolism-associated nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)***,the molecular mechanism underlying Irhom2 regulation is still not completely *** this work,we identify the ubiquitin-specific protease 13(USP13)as a critical and novel endogenous blocker of IRHOM2,and we also indicate that USP13 is an IRHOM2-interacting protein that catalyzes deubiquitination of Irhom2 in ***-specific loss of the Usp13 disrupts liver metabolic homeostasis,followed by glycometabolic disorder,lipid deposition,increased inflammation,and markedly promotes NASH ***,transgenic mice with Usp13 overexpression,lentivirus(LV)-or adeno-associated virus(AAV)-driven Usp13 gene therapeutics mitigates NASH in 3 models of ***,in response to metabolic stresses,USP13 directly interacts with IRHOM2 and removes its K63-linked ubiquitination induced by ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2N(UBC13),a ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzyme,and thus prevents its activation of downstream cascade ***13 is a potential treatment target for NASH therapy by targeting the Irhom2 signaling pathway.
