Project description:Here we report that activation of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) diminishes cognitive resilience by decreasing the neuronal transcriptional network of myocyte enhancer factor 2c (MEF2C) through type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. Pathogenic tau activates cGAS and IFN-I responses in microglia, in part mediated by cytosolic leakage of mitochondrial DNA. Genetic ablation of cGAS in tauopathy mice diminished microglial IFN-I response, preserved synapse integrity and plasticity, and protected against cognitive impairment without affecting the pathogenic tau load. cGAS ablation enhanced, while activation of IFN-I downregulated, neuronal MEF2C expression network linked with cognitive resilience in AD.

Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed a striking upregulation of interferon genes in P301S, compared to non-transgenic hippocampi, and enrichment of transcription factor motifs of interferon-response factors (IRFs) and interferon-sensitive response elements (ISREs). Cgas deletion reduced the induction of a subset of tau-stimulated inflammatory and cytokine expression including interferon stimulated genes such as Stat1, Ddx60, Isg20, Rnf213, Parp12, Ifi35, and Sp100. Thus, microglial cGAS promotes IFN-I expression in response to tau.

Project description:We report positional cloning and characterization of a novel Sting allele that fails to activate IFN production in the wild-derived mice of MOLF/Ei strain in response to HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) and Listeria monocytogenes both in vitro and in vivo. We show that previously uncharacterized mutations in the N-terminal of STING are responsible for low levels of IFN due to failure of MOLF STING to respond to cytosolic STING agonists such as 2â3âcGAMP, 5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) or poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid (dAdT). Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for the analysis of DNA-responses in congenic C57BL6.StingMOLF/MOLF (MOLF STING) mouse macrophages, we show that these mutations in MOLF/Ei discriminate in responses between different STING agonists. Macrophages from C57BL6.StingB6/B6¬ (B6 STING), or B6 STING expressing littermates were stimulated as a positive control for STING activation, and STING -/- (STING KO) macrophages served as a negative control. To examine differential gene regulation downstream of murine Tmem173 (STING) allelic variants. We stimulated macrophages from B6 mice congenic for MOLF STING; macrophages from B6 STING expressing littermates were stimulated as a positive control for STING activation, and STING -/- (STING KO) macrophages served as a negative control. One replicate of RNA-seq reads after each stimulation provided. Conditions are peritoneal macrophages from B6 congenic mice expressing: B6 STING, MOLF STING, or STING KO stimulated with 2â3âcGAMP, 5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA), poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid (dAdT), or no treatment. This constitutes a total of 12 reads analyzed in this data set.

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN) response is the most recognized signaling activity of STING, and IFN signaling is commonly believed to be the major (if not the sole) contributor to STING-mediated anti-viral and anti-cancer responses. Here, we genetically mutated mouse Sting serine 365 residue that is critically required for initiating IFN signaling. Sting-S365A mutation in mice precisely ablated IFN-dependent while preserving IFN-independent activities of STING. To our surprise, StingS365A/S365A mice protected against HSV-1 infection remarkably well, similar to wild type mice, while Sting–/– mice succumbed to infection very quickly. This challenges the current prevailing view and suggests that STING controls HSV-1 infection through IFN-independent activities. Transcriptomic analysis of wild type, Sting–/– and StingS365A/S365A macrophages and T cells stimulated with Sting agonist DMXAA revealed widespread IFN-independent activities of STING in both cell types and identified many T cell effector functions that are activated by STING independently of IFN. In mouse tumor models, we found that T cells in the tumor experience substantial cell death that was in part mediated by STING. Adoptively transferred Sting–/– T cells were more resistant to cell death in the tumor leading to more effective tumor control compared to wild type and StingS365A/S365A T cells. Together, our data demonstrate that mammalian STING possesses widespread IFN-independent activities that are functionally important for restricting Type I interferon (IFN) response is the most recognized signaling activity of STING, and IFN signaling is commonly believed to be the major (if not the sole) contributor to STING-mediated anti-viral and anti-cancer responses.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines that play an important role in regulating immune responses to pathogens and tumors and are used therapeutically. All IFNs are considered to signal via the heterodimeric IFNAR1-IFNAR2 complex, yet some subtypes such as IFN? can exhibit distinct functional properties, although the molecular basis of this is unclear. Here we demonstrate IFN uniquely and specifically ligates to IFNAR1 in an IFNAR2-independent manner and provide the structural basis of the IFNAR1-IFN interaction. We show that the IFNAR1-IFN complex transduces signals to modulate the expression of a set of genes independently of IFNAR2. Moreover, we show the in vivo importance of the IFNAR1-IFN signaling axis in a murine model of LPS-induced septic shock. Thus, we provide a molecular basis for understanding specific functions of IFN?. Interferon b induced gene expression in peritoneal exudate cells was measured 3hr post intra-peritoneal injection of 10,000IU/ml of interferon beta or saline into wildtype and Ifnar2-/- mice. Three independant experiments were performed for each treatment in both genotypes using different mice for each sample.
