Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is associated with the accumulation of collagen-secreting fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in the lung parenchyma. Many mechanisms contribute to their accumulation, including resistance to apoptosis. In previous work, we showed that exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IFN-γ reverses fibroblast resistance to apoptosis. The goal of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism. Based on an initial interrogation of the transcriptomes of unstimulated and TNF-α and IFN-γ-stimulated primary lung fibroblasts and the lung fibroblast cell line, MRC5, we show here that among Fas-signaling pathway molecules, Fas expression was increased ~6-fold in an NF-κB and p38mapk-dependent fashion. Prevention of the increase in Fas expression using Fas siRNAs blocked the ability of TNF-α and IFN-γ to sensitize fibroblasts to Fas ligation induced-apoptosis; while enforced adenovirus-mediated Fas overexpression was sufficient to overcome basal resistance to Fas-induced apoptosis. Examination of lung tissues from IPF patients revealed low to absent staining of Fas in fibroblastic cells of fibroblast foci. Collectively, these findings suggest that increased expression of Fas is necessary and sufficient to overcome the resistance of lung fibroblasts to Fas-induced apoptosis. They also suggest that approaches aimed at increasing Fas expression by lung fibroblasts and myofibroblasts may be therapeutically relevant. To investigate the mechanism by which TNF-α and IFN-γ reprogram fibroblasts from resistance to sensitivity to Fas-ligation-induce apoptosis, we exposed human primary lung fibroblasts from an IPF patient (FS087) and non-disease control subject (N78) and the human fetal lung fibroblast cell lung (MRC-5) to TNF-α (10 ng/ml) and IFN-γ (50 U/ml) for 36 hr and analyzed changes in their transcriptomes using Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is approved as a drug to treat chronic granulomatous disease and osteopetrosis and is also used in hyperimmunoglobulin E syndromes. These primary immunodeficiencies involve defects in neutrophils/polymorphonuclear cells. Neutrophils mature in the bone marrow and then enter the blood where they quickly undergo apoptotic cell death with a half-life of 5-10 hours. Therefore we reasoned that IFN-gamma might exert its effects on neutrophils via prolonged exposure to cells undergoing maturation toward a terminally differentiated state in the marrow rather than by its brief exposure to short-lived circulating cells. To explore this possibility we made use of PLB-985 cells which are a myeloblast-like myeloid cell line that can be differentiated into a mature, neutrophil-like state by treatment with various agents including DMSO. In initial studies we investigated transcription and protein expression in PLB-985 cells undergoing DMSO-mediated maturation in the presence or absence of IFN-gamma and identified several classes of immunity related genes that were differentially expressed in the presence of the drug and could potentially explain the immune supportive properties of IFN-gamma. Next we explored if the effect of IFN-gamma on expression of these genes is dependent on whether the cells are undergoing maturation; to do this we compared the effects of IFN-gamma on cells cultured with and without DMSO. For a subset of genes the expression level changes caused by IFN-gamma were much greater in maturing cells than non-maturing cells. These findings indicate that developmental changes associated with cell maturation can modulate the effects of IFN-gamma and supports our hypothesis that the effects of the drug on developing neutrophils in the bone marrow may be very different from its effects on mature cells in the blood. We also compared the effects on gene expression of applying IFN-gamma either during DMSO mediated PLB-985 cell maturation or after maturation i.e. IFN-gamma was applied to already mature cells. For some genes we found that IFN-gamma applied to mature cells caused large changes in expression similar to those seen when IFN-gamma was applied during maturation, however for other genes no effect was seen when drug was applied to mature cells but large effects were seen when drug was applied during DMSO treatment. This data suggests that, in the former class of genes, the effects of IFN-gamma application during maturation are largely the result of the effects of the drug on cells approaching full maturity but in the latter class of genes the effects of IFN-gamma only become apparent when it is present throughout maturation. This further supports our hypothesis that the effects of IFN-gamma are modulated by developmental changes associated with cell maturation.

Project description:Type-I (e.g. IFN-alpha, IFN-beta) and type-II IFNs (IFN-gamma) have antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory properties. Both types of IFN signal through the Jak/STAT pathway to elicit antiviral activity, yet IFN-gamma is thought to do so only through STAT1 homodimers while type-I IFNs activate both STAT1- and STAT2-containing complexes such as ISGF3. Here we show that ISGF3II - composed of phosphorylated STAT1, unphosphorylated STAT2, and IRF9 - also plays a role in IFN-gamma-mediated antiviral activity in humans. Using phosphorylated STAT1 as a marker for IFN signaling, western blot analysis of IFN-alpha2a treated human A549 cells revealed that pSTAT1 (Y701) levels peaked at 1h, decreased by 6h, and remained at low levels for up to 48h. Cells treated with IFN-gamma showed a biphasic pSTAT1 response with an early peak at 1-2h and a second peak at 15-24h. Gene expression microarray following IFN-gamma treatment for 24h indicated an induction of antiviral genes that are induced by ISGF3 and associated with a type-1 IFN response. Induction of these genes by autocrine type-I and type-III IFN signaling was ruled out using neutralizing antibodies to these IFNs in biological assays and by qRT-PCR. Despite the absence of autocrine IFNs, IFN-gamma treatment induced formation of ISGF3II. This novel transcription factor complex binds to ISRE promoter sequences, as shown by ChIP analysis of the PKR promoter. STAT2 and IRF9 knockdown in A549 cells reversed IFN-gamma-mediated ISRE induction and antiviral activity - implicating ISGF3II formation as a significant component of the cellular response and biological activity of IFN-gamma. Two treatments using three biological replicates each were performed using three million A549 cells. Each was seeded overnight in 10mL complete RPMI and treated. Three were treated with alpha-IFN and three treated with gamma-IFN for 24h. Control samples were left untreated.

Project description:Epithelial cells of the intestine respond to IFN-gamma, which is a critical regulator of the inflammatory response. Here we sought to determine the impact that this cytokine has on epithelial cell gene expression in an in vitro inflammation model. T84 cells were treated with IFN-gamma for 0, 6, or 18 hrs for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Pre-infection with Toxoplasma parasites inhibits induction of an interferon gamma responsive gene expression program. In this study we aimed to determine what role host negative regulatory proteins that are induced by Toxoplasma infection, such as SOCS-1, have in this inhibition. We used Affymetrix microarrays to analyze host cell transcription after pre-treatment with the protein synthesis inhibitor cyclohexamide (CHX), Toxoplasma infection, and subsequent interferon-gamma stimulation. Human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) were left untreated or treated with CHX for 40min. Cells were infected, or not, with type I (RH) Toxoplasma parasites, for one hour, and subsequently stimulated with human IFN-γ for one hour. Total RNA was isolated and hybridized to Affymetrix Human U133A 2.0 gene chips.

Project description:Transcriptional response of KBM7 cells to IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha was investigated in control or cells with genetrap insertions in JAK2 or TNFRS1A, respectively. The experiment shows that, as expected, cells lacking JAK2 or TNFRS1A expression display a severly blunted response to the tested cytokines. KBM7 genetrap mutant cells stimulated with TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma Sample WT_1 corresponds with the control sample for the IFN-gamma stimulation; Sample WT_2 corresponds with the control sample for the TNF-alpha stimulation. As the expected differences between the samples was large, only single replicates were performed for each condition
