Project description:Although type III interferons (IFN), also known as IFN-λ or IL28/IL-29, restrict infection by several viruses, their mechanism of inhibitory action has remained uncertain. We used recombinant IFN-λ and mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor (IFNLR1) to evaluate the effect of IFN-λ on infection with West Nile virus (WNV), an encephalitic flavivirus. Cell culture studies in keratinocytes and dendritic cells showed no direct antiviral effect of exogenous IFN-λ even though ISGs were induced. Correspondingly, we observed no differences in WNV burden between wild-type and Ifnlr1-/- mice in the draining lymph node, spleen, and blood. However, we detected earlier dissemination and increased WNV infection in the brain and spinal cord of Ifnlr1-/- mice, yet this was not associated with a direct antiviral effect on infection of neurons. Instead, an increase in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was observed in Ifnlr1-/- mice. Accordingly, treatment of mice with pegylated IFN-λ2 resulted in decreased BBB permeability, reduced WNV infection in the brain without impacting viremia, and improved survival against lethal virus challenge. An in vitro model of the BBB showed that IFN-λ signaling in brain microvascular endothelial cells increased transendothelial electrical resistance, decreased virus movement across the barrier, and modulated tight junction protein localization in a protein synthesis- and STAT1-independent manner. Our data establish a novel indirect antiviral function of IFN-λ in which non-canonical signaling through IFNLR1 tightens the BBB and restricts viral neuroinvasion and pathogenesis. This finding suggests new clinical applications for IFN-λ in treating viral or autoimmune diseases. Transcriptome profiling of bone-marrow derived Dendritic cells(BMDCs), treated with either Serum Free Media(Mock), interferon beta(IFNb), or interferon lambda(IFNL) for 6 hours.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFN-I) are critical in antimicrobial and antitumor defense. Although IFN-I signal via the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex consisting of STAT1, STAT2 and IRF9, IFN-I can mediate significant biological effects via ISGF3-independent pathways. For example, absence of STAT1, STAT2 or IRF9 exacerbates neurological disease in transgenic mice with CNS-production of IFN-gamma. Here we determined the role of IFN-I-driven, ISGF3-independent signaling in regulating global gene expression in STAT1, STAT2 or IRF9-deficient murine mixed glial cell cultures (MGCs). Compared with WT, the expression of IFN-gamma-stimulated genes (ISGs) was reduced in number and magnitude in MGCs that lacked STAT1, STAT2 or IRF9. There were significantly fewer ISGs in the absence of STAT1 or STAT2 versus the absence of IRF9. The majority of ISGs regulated in the STAT1-, STAT2- or IRF9-deficient MGCs individually were shared with WT. However, only a minor number of ISGs were common to WT, STAT1-, STAT2- and IRF9-deficient MGCs. While signal pathway activation in response to IFN-gamma was rapid and transient in WT MGCs, this was delayed and prolonged and correlated with increased numbers of ISGs expressed at 12 h versus 4 h IFN-gamma exposure in all three IFN-I-signaling-deficient MGCs. In conclusion, (1) IFN-I can mediate ISG expression in MGCs via ISGF3-independent signaling pathways but with reduced efficiency, with delayed and prolonged kinetics and is more dependent on STAT1 and STAT2 than IRF9, and (2) signaling pathways not involving STAT1, STAT2 or IRF9 play a minor role only in mediating ISG expression in MGCs.

Project description:IL-7 regulates homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the overall size of the T cell pool throughout life. We show that, under steady-state conditions, IL-7 signaling is principally mediated by activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription 5 (STAT5). In contrast, under lymphopenic conditions, there is a modulation of STAT1 expression resulting in an IL-7-dependent STAT1 and STAT5 activation. Consequently, the IL-7-induced transcriptome is altered with enrichment of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Moreover, STAT1 overexpression was associated with reduced survival in CD4+ T cells undergoing lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP). We propose a model in which T cells undergoing LIP upregulate STAT1 protein, "switching on" an alternate IL-7-dependent program. This mechanism could be a physiological process to regulate the expansion and size of the CD4+ T cell pool. During HIV infection, the virus could exploit this pathway, leading to the homeostatic dysregulation of the T cell pools observed in these patients.

Project description:A coding variant of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk gene ATG16L1 has been associated with defective autophagy and deregulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function. IL-22 is a barrier protective cytokine by inducing regeneration and antimicrobial responses in the intestinal mucosa. We show that ATG16L1 critically orchestrates IL-22 signaling in the intestinal epithelium. IL-22 stimulation physiologically leads to transient ER stress and subsequent activation of STING dependent type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling, which is augmented in Atg16l1ΔIEC intestinal organoids. IFN-I signals amplify epithelial TNF production downstream of IL-22 and contribute to necroptotic cell death. In vivo, IL-22 treatment in Atg16l1ΔIEC and Atg16l1ΔIEC/Xbp1ΔIEC mice potentiates endogenous ileal inflammation and causes widespread necroptotic epithelial cell death. Therapeutic blockade of IFN-I signaling ameliorates IL-22 induced ileal inflammation in Atg16l1ΔIEC mice. Our data demonstrate an unexpected role of ATG16L1 in coordinating the outcome of IL-22 signaling in the intestinal epithelium.

Project description:Interleukin (IL) - 22 is a cytokine that plays a critical role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis. Its downstream functions are mediated through ligation of its heterodimeric receptor comprised of IL-22 receptor subunit alpha 1 (IL-22Ra1) and IL-10R2, and subsequent activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). IL-22 signaling can induce genes necessary for intestinal epithelial cell proliferation, tissue regeneration, tight junction fortification, and production of antimicrobials. Emerging studies have also implicated IL-22 signaling in the regulation of intestinal epithelial fucosylation in mice. However, whether IL-22 regulates intestinal fucosylation in human intestinal epithelial cells and the molecular mechanisms that govern this process are unknown. Here, we show that IL-22 signaling regulates expression of the B3GNT7 transcript, which encodes a β1-3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that can participate in the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) chains. Additionally, we show that IL-22 signaling regulates levels of the a1-3-fucosylated Lewis X (Lex) blood group antigen and this glycan epitope is primarily displayed on heavily O-glycosylated intestinal epithelial glycoproteins. The IL-22-mediated increase in Lex antigen levels requires B3GNT7, as disruption of B3GNT7 expression moderated the IL-22-dependent increase in Lex antigen levels. Moreover, we show that increased expression of B3GNT7 alone is sufficient to promote increased display of Lex-decorated carbohydrate glycan structures primarily on O-glycosylated intestinal epithelial glycoproteins. Together, the data presented here identify B3GNT7 as a critical intermediary in IL-22-dependent induction of intestinal fucosylation of O-linked glycans and uncover a novel role for B3GNT7 in intestinal glycosylation.

Project description:Type 1 IFNs can conditionally activate all of the signal transducers and activators of transcription molecules (STATs), including STAT4. The best-characterized signaling pathways use STAT1, however, and type 1 IFN inhibition of cell proliferation is STAT1 dependent. We report that type 1 IFNs can basally stimulate STAT1- and STAT4- dependent effects in CD8 T cells, but that CD8 T cells responding to infections of mice with lymphocytic choriomenigitis virus have elevated STAT4 and lower STAT1 expression with significant consequences for modifying the effects of type 1 IFN exposure. The phenotype was associated with preferential type 1 IFN activation of STAT4 as compared to STAT1. Stimulation through the TCR induced elevated STAT4 expression, and STAT4 was required for peak expansion of antigen-specific CD8 T cells, low STAT1 levels, and resistance to type 1 IFN-mediated inhibition of proliferation. Thus, a mechanism is discovered for regulating the consequences of type 1 IFN exposure in CD8 T cells, with STAT4 acting as a key molecule in driving optimal antigen-specific responses and overcoming STAT1-dependent inhibition of proliferation. CD8 T cells were purified from uninfected WT, STAT1-deficient and STAT4-deficient mice or from D8 LCMV-infected WT mice and either control treated or treated with 1x104 U mouse IFNalpha for 90 minutes.

Project description:Inborn errors of TLR3-dependent IFN-α/β- and -λ-mediated immunity in the central nervous system (CNS) can underlie herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis (HSE). The respective contributions of IFN-α/β- and -λ are unknown. We report a child homozygous for a genomic deletion of the entire coding sequence and part of the 3’UTR of the last exon of IFNAR1, who died from HSE at the age of two years. An older cousin died following vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella at 12 months of age, and another 17-year-old cousin homozygous for the same variant has had other viral illnesses. The encoded IFNAR1 protein is expressed on the cell surface but is truncated and cannot interact with the tyrosine kinase TYK2. The patient’s fibroblasts and EBV-B cells did not respond to IFN-α2b or IFN-β, in terms of STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 phosphorylation, or the induction of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Transcriptome analysis revealed a complete abolition of genome-wide ISG induction in response to IFN-α2b in IFNAR1-deficient fibroblasts from the patient. These fibroblasts were susceptible to viruses, including HSV-1, even in the presence of exogenous IFN-α2b or IFN-β. HSE is therefore a consequence of inherited complete IFNAR1 deficiency. This experiment of Nature indicates that IFN-α/β are essential for anti-HSV-1 immunity in the CNS.

Project description:Qi2013 - IL-6 and IFN crosstalk model
(non-competitive)
This model
[BIOMD0000000543]
describes the crosstalk between IFN-gamma and IL-6 induced
signalling; it aims to outline mechanisms and factors that may
control the interaction between both signalling pathways,
discussing a role of heterodimer formation in signalling
dysfunction.
To account for the possibility of different IFNR and gp130
binding sites for STAT1 and STAT3, model 1
[BIOMD0000000543]
assumes that there is no competition between STAT1 and STAT3 for
the receptor complexes (includes two extra reactions).
The reverse of this is true in model 2
[BIOMD0000000544]
where it generally is assumed that there is competition between
STAT1 and STAT3 for the receptor complexes.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-6
(IL-6) are multifunctional cytokines that regulate immune
responses, cell proliferation, and tumour development and
progression, which frequently have functionally opposing roles.
The cellular responses to both cytokines are activated via the
Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription
(JAK/STAT) pathway. During the past 10 years, the crosstalk
mechanism between the IFN-gamma and IL-6 pathways has been
studied widely and several biological hypotheses have been
proposed, but the kinetics and detailed crosstalk mechanism
remain unclear. RESULTS: Using established mathematical models
and new experimental observations of the crosstalk between the
IFN-gamma and IL-6 pathways, we constructed a new crosstalk
model that considers three possible crosstalk levels: (1) the
competition between STAT1 and STAT3 for common receptor docking
sites; (2) the mutual negative regulation between SOCS1 and
SOCS3; and (3) the negative regulatory effects of the formation
of STAT1/3 heterodimers. A number of simulations were tested to
explore the consequences of cross-regulation between the two
pathways. The simulation results agreed well with the
experimental data, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness and
correctness of the model. CONCLUSION: In this study, we
developed a crosstalk model of the IFN-gamma and IL-6 pathways
to theoretically investigate their cross-regulation mechanism.
The simulation experiments showed the importance of the three
crosstalk levels between the two pathways. In particular, the
unbalanced competition between STAT1 and STAT3 for IFNR and
gp130 led to preferential activation of IFN-gamma and IL-6,
while at the same time the formation of STAT1/3 heterodimers
enhanced preferential signal transduction by sequestering a
fraction of the activated STATs. The model provided a good
explanation of the experimental observations and provided
insights that may inform further research to facilitate a
better understanding of the cross-regulation mechanism between
the two pathways.
