Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common neurological condition associated with high disability and mortality. Alterations in protein ubiquitination have emerged as a key mechanism in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. Here, we investigated the effects of the E3 ubiquitin ligase ring finger protein 34 (RNF34) on neurological deficits and brain injury in ICH mice. An ICH model was established via intracerebral injection of autologous blood into wild-type and RNF34 transgenic mice. Brain injury, neurological function, neuronal activity, and oxidative stress levels were measured, respectively. The underlying mechanisms were explored by molecular and cellular approaches. Our results showed that RNF34 overexpression in mice significantly aggravated the ICH-induced memory impairment, brain edema, infarction, hematoma volume, and loss of neuronal activity. RNF34 and oxidative stress levels gradually increased from 6 to 48 h after the ICH challenge and were positively correlated. The ICH-induced increase in intracellular ROS, superoxide anion, and mROS generation and the decrease in adenosine triphosphate production were exacerbated in RNF34 transgenic mice, but NADPH oxidase activity was unaffected. Moreover, RNF34 upregulation potentiated the ICH-induced decrease in PGC-1α, UCP2, and MnSOD expressions. RNF34 interacted with PGC-1α and targeted it for ubiquitin-dependent degradation. This study reveals that RNF34 exacerbates neurological deficits and brain injury by facilitating PGC-1α protein degradation and promoting mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated oxidative stress.
