Two ISREs functioning cooperatively regulate ISG expression in West Nile virus infected IFNAR-/- MEFs

ABSTRACT: We previously identified a subset of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), including Irf7, Irf1, Oas1a and Oas1b, upregulated by a West Nile virus (WNV) infection in wildtype mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) after viral proteins had inhibited type 1 interferon (IFN)-mediated JAK-STAT signaling and also in WNV-infected STAT1-/-, STAT2-/-, IFNAR-/-, IRF3-/-, IRF7-/-, and IRF3/7-/- MEFs. In this study, ISG upregulation by WNV infection was inhibited in RIG-I/MDA5-/- but not in single knockout MEFs. ISGs upregulation was detected in WNV-infected IRF1-/- and IRF5-/- but was minimal in IRF3/5/7-/- MEFs, suggesting redundant IRF involvement. ISG upregulation by WNV infection in IFNAR-/- MEFs was confirmed by RNA-seq. We previously showed that a single proximal interferon stimulated response element (ISRE) in the Oas1a and Oas1b promoters bound the ISGF3 complex during IFN-dependent upregulation. In this study, we used wild-type and mutant promoter luciferase reporter constructs to identify critical regions in the Oas1b and Ifit1 promoters for IFN-independent transcriptional regulation. Two ISREs were required for both promoters. Mutation of these ISREs in an Ifit1 promoter DNA probe reduced in vitro complex formation. An NF-κB inhibitor decreased Ifit1 promoter activity in cells and in vitro complex formation. IRF3 and p50 binding was detected by ChIP for four upregulated ISGs with two proximal ISREs in their promoters. The data indicate that IFN-independent ISG expression of some ISGs is upregulated by two ISREs functioning cooperatively and the binding of a complex consisting of IRF3, 5, and/or 7 and an NF-κB component(s) as well as other as yet unknown factors.

HCMV-UV and SeV-UV infection of IFNAR KO and wildtype human fibroblasts

Project description:Type 1 interferon (IFN) plays a critical role in early antiviral defense and priming of adaptive immunity by signalling upregulation of host antiviral interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Certain stimuli trigger strong activation of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and direct upregulation of ISGs in addition to IFN. It remains unclear why some stimuli are stronger activators of IRF3 and how this leads to IFN-independent antiviral protection. We found that UV-inactivated human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) particles triggered an IFN-independent ISG signature that was absent in cells infected with UV-inactivated Sendai virus (SeV) particles. HCMV particles triggered mostly uniform activation of IRF3 and low-level IFN-? production within the population while SeV particles triggered a small fraction of cells producing abundant IFN-?. These findings suggest that population level activation of IRF3 and antiviral protection emerges from a diversity of responses occurring simultaneously in single cells. Moreover, this occurs in the absence of virus replication.

Primary human hepatocytes treated with IFNalpha and IL28B

Project description:Recent identification of IL28B gene polymorphisms associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance suggests a role for type III interferons (IFNs) in hepatitis C infection. The function of type III IFNs in intrinsic antiviral immunity is poorly understood. Here we show that HCV infection of primary human hepatocytes results in a robust induction of type III but not type I IFNs, leading to IFN- stimulated gene (ISG) expression. In addition, HCV infection elicits a much broader range of gene expression alterations in addition to ISG induction. The induction of type III IFNs is mediated by IRF3 and NFkB- dependent pathways. Type III IFN, aside from upregulating ISGs with a different kinetic profile, induces a distinct set of genes from type I IFN, potentially explaining the functional difference between the two types of IFNs. Chimpanzees undergoing experimental HCV infection demonstrated a prompt hepatic induction of IL28, associating with ISG upregulation, but minimal type I IFN induction. Analysis of liver biopsies from HCV-infected patients supported a close correlation among hepatic expression of IL28 and ISGs, but not with type I IFNs. Our study demonstrates that HCV infection results predominantly in type III IFN induction in the liver and the level of induction correlates with hepatic ISG levels, thus providing a mechanistic explanation for the association between IL28, ISG levels and recovery from HCV infection as well as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of non-responders. Samples were treated with IFN, IL28b and T-PolyC after 6 or 24 hours respectively

Project description:A number of IFN-induced proteins are believed to be responsible for the antiviral state induced by IFNs. Our microarray analysis of IFN-regulated genes in MEFs from wild-type mice identified 124 probe sets that were differentially regulated upon IFN treatment. This group consisted of many known ISGs such as Ifit1, Gbp2, mx1, Isg15, Stat1, nmi, mx2, If204, Adar, Irf1, and protein kinase R. Experiment Overall Design: 3 control and 3 IFNb-treated biological replicates were analyzed.

IL-1B signaling in dendritic cells induces antiviral interferon responses

Project description:Activation of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) responses is critical for control of viral infection. We recently identified that stimulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and mobilization of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β act as critical host restrictive pathways against West Nile virus (WNV) in a mechanism dependent on the regulation of ISGs. In order to define the mechanism by which IL-1β regulates these antiviral immune programs, we utilized global transcriptome analysis in myeloid cells, known targets of WNV replication to define gene signatures required for IL-1β driven antiviral responses. Surprisingly, we found IL-1β dependent activation of interferon-beta (IFN-β) and ISGs at late times following IL-1β treatment. Expression of these antiviral innate immune genes was found to be dependent on activation of IRF3 and appears to reflect a general shift in IL-1β signaling from an inflammatory response early following treatment to an anti-inflammatory type-I IFN mediated response at later times post-treatment. These data demonstrate that inflammatory and antiviral signals integrate to control viral infection. Strategies to co-opt these cytokine activated antiviral signatures can act as novel targeted therapeutic strategies tailored specifically to individual pathogens.

Stage-specific IFN-induced and IFN gene expression reveals convergence of type I and type II IFN and highlights their role in both acute and chronic phases of pathogenic SIV infection

Project description:Interferons (IFNs) play a major role in controlling viral infections including HIV/SIV infections. Persistent up-regulation of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) is associated with chronic immune activation and progression in SIV/HIV infections, but the respective contribution of different IFNs is unclear. We analyzed the expression of IFN genes and ISGs in tissues of SIV infected macaques to understand the respective roles of type I and type II IFNs. Both IFN types were induced in lymph nodes during early stage of primary infection and to some extent in rectal biopsies but not in PBMCs. Induction of Type II IFN expression persisted during the chronic phase, in contrast to undetectable induction of type I IFN expression. Global gene expression analysis with a major focus on ISGs revealed that at both acute and chronic infection phases most differentially expressed ISGs were inducible by both type I and type II IFNs and displayed the highest increases, indicating strong convergence and synergy between type I and type II IFNs. These results suggest that IFN- strongly contribute to shape ISG upregulation in addition to type I IFN. The analysis of functional signatures of ISG expression revealed temporal changes in IFN expression patterns identifying phasespecific ISGs.
