Project description:STAT6 is a major transcription factor driving the polarization of Th2 cells in response to cytokine IL-4. Here we have analyzed on a genome wide level the STAT6 mediated gene expression after IL-4 induction in naive human CD4+ T cells. RNAi mediated STAT6 knockdown was used to reveal the genes specifically regulated by STAT6. Total RNA from STAT6 siRNA treated cord blood CD4+ T cells 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours after culturing the cells in activating (antiCD3+antiCD28) plus or minus IL-4 conditions was compared to total RNA from nonspecific control siRNA treated cells. All together 18 samples were analyzed and 3 biological replicates of the culture were performed for a total of 54 samples.

Project description:STAT6 is a major transcription factor driving the polarization of Th2 cells in response to IL-4. STAT6 is phosphorylated by Jak1 and Jak3 kinases at the IL-4 receptor, after which phosphorylated STAT6 forms a homodimer and translocates into the nucleus. There STAT6 binds to specific DNA sequences, regulating the transcription of its target genes. Here we have analyzed on a genome wide level the STAT6 binding sites, after 1h and 4h of IL-4 induction, in naive human CD4+ T cells. Keywords: SRA Altogether 5 samples from 1 biological replicate were analyzed. Activated and IL-4 treated samples were compared to only activated or untreated samples to identify unique STAT6 binding sites after IL-4 induction.

Project description:IL-10 production by Th17 cells is critical for limiting autoimmunity and inflammatory responses. Gene array analysis on Stat6 and T-bet double deficient Th17 cells identified the Th2 transcription factor c-Maf to be synergistically up-regulated by IL-6 plus TGFbeta, and associated with Th17 IL-10 production. Both c-Maf and IL-10 induction during Th17 polarization depended on Stat3, but not Stat6 or Stat1, and mechanistically differed from IL-10 regulation by Th2 or IL-27 signals. TGFbeta was also synergistic with IL-27 to induce c-Maf, and induced Stat1 independent IL-10 expression in contrast to IL-27 alone. Retroviral transduction of c-Maf was able to induce IL-10 expression in Stat6 deficient CD4 and CD8 T cells, and c-Maf directly transactivated IL-10 gene expression through binding to a MARE motif in the IL-10 promoter. Together, these data reveal a novel role for c-Maf in regulating T effector development, and suggest that TGFbeta may antagonize Th17 immunity by IL-10 production through c-Maf induction. Our recent studies showed that IL-6 combined with TGFbeta differed from IL-6 combined with IL-23 for IL-10 production and pathogenic activities in CD4 T cells deficient in Stat6 and T-bet, despite similar IL-17 production. We performed gene array analysis on Stat6 and T-bet double deficient cells. We rationalized that by comparing gene expression in cells treated with IL-6 plus TGFbeta versus TGFbeta alone, we would be able to identify genes specific for standard Th17 polarization, and responsible for both IL-17 and IL-10 expression. By next comparing gene expression in cells treated with IL-6 plus TGFbeta versus IL-6 plus IL-23, we could eliminate molecules involved solely in IL-17 regulation, and obtain genes specifically responsible for IL-10 regulation.

Project description:We used microarrays to find Stat6 dependent genes in control and IL-4 exposed bone marrow derived macrophages. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAM) accumulate in tissues during Th2-associated immune responses like helminth infections and allergic disorders. These cells possess potent inhibitory activity against T cells. The differentiation of AAM depends on IL-4/IL-13-mediated activation of the transcription factor Stat6. Stat6 is also required in AAM to induce several genes, such as YM1, FIZZ1 and Arginase1.

Stat6 is also required in AAM to induce several genes, such as YM1, FIZZ1 and Arginase1. Macrophages were differentiated from bone marrow cells in supplemented RPMI 1640 for 7 days in the presence of 10% supernatant from the M-CSF producing fibroblast cell line L929. After removal of nonadherent cells, macrophages were detached using 5mM EDTA treatment, washed, counted, and replated at a density of 10x6 cells/mL. Macrophages were cultured for 24 hours in medium (control) or in the presence of IL-4 (10mg/mL). F4/80 positive macrophages were sorted with a purity of 99% and RNA was isolated (Trizol/Chloroform) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA was labeled (biotin), fragmented, and hybridized to the arrays according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Project description:Differentiation of naive CD4 T cells into type 2 helper (Th2) cells is accompanied by chromatin remodeling and increased expression of a set of Th2-specific genes including those encoding Th2 cytokines. IL-4-mediated STAT6 activation induces high levels of transcription of GATA3, a master regulator of Th2 cell differentiation, and enforced expression of GATA3 induces Th2 cytokine expression. However, it remains unclear whether the expression of other Th2-specific genes is induced directly by GATA3. A genome-wide unbiased ChIP-seq analysis revealed that GATA3 bound to 1,279 genes selectively in Th2 cells, and 101 genes in both Th1 and Th2 cells. Simultaneously, we identified 26 highly Th2-specific STAT6-dependent inducible genes by a DNA microarray analysis-based three-step selection processes, and among them 17 genes showed GATA3 binding. We assessed dependency on GATA3 for the transcription of these 26 Th2-specific genes, and 10 genes showed increased transcription in a GATA3-dependent manner while 16 genes showed no significant responses. The transcription of the 16 GATA3-nonresponding genes was clearly increased by the introduction of an active form of STAT6, STAT6VT. Therefore, although GATA3 has been recognized as a master regulator of Th2 cell differentiation, many Th2-specific genes are not regulated by GATA3 itself but in collaboration with STAT6. Th1 and Th2 subsets are profiled for mRNA expression Examination of GATA3-binding and 3 different histone modifications in Th1 and Th2 cells.

Project description:Macrophage recruitment into tumors is correlated with poor outcomes in cancer, which correlate with STAT6-dependent M2 macrophage polarization and wound healing-type responses. Using penetrant, genetic models of neuroblastoma, we found macrophage recruitment was protective against tumor formation while disabling STAT6-mediated M2 polarization had no effect on tumorigenesis, progression or expression of key immunosuppressive pathways. Thus while macrophages are drivers of cancer in this model, non-classical M2 STAT6-independent pathways are plausible targets for cancer therapy.
