The specifcity of innate immune response is enforced by repression of interferon-response elements by NFkB p50

ABSTRACT: The specific binding of transcription factors to cognate sequence elements is thought to be critical for the generation of specific gene expression programs. The transcription factors nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) and the interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs) bind to the kB site and the interferon response element (IRE), respectively, of target genes, and they are activated in macrophages after exposure to pathogens. However, how these factors produce pathogen-specific inflammatory and immune responses remains poorly understood. Combining top-down and bottom-up systems biology approaches, we have identified the NF-kB p50 homodimer (p50:p50) as a regulator of IRF responses. First, unbiased genome-wide expression analysis revealed that p50 repressed a subset of IFN-inducible genes through a previously uncharacterized subclass of guanine-rich IRE (G-IRE) sequences, which was substantiated by biochemical and structural analyses. Second, mathematical modeling predicted that p50:p50 might enforce the stimulus-specificity of composite promoters. Indeed, the production of the antiviral regulator IFN-b was rendered stimulus-specific by the binding of p50:p50 to the G-IRE–containing IFNb enhancer to suppress cytotoxic IFN signaling. Specifically, a deficiency in p50 resulted in the inappropriate production of IFN-b in response to bacterial DNA sensed by Toll-like receptor 9. This role for NF-kB p50 in enforcing the specificity of the cellular response to pathogens by binding to a previously uncharacterized subset of IRE sequences alters our understanding of how the NF-kB and IRF signaling systems cooperate to regulate antimicrobial immunity.

Immune differentiation regulator p100 tunes NF-kB responses to TNF

Project description:Stringent regulation of TNF signaling prevents aberrant inflammation. TNF engages the canonical NF-kB pathway for activating the RelA:p50 heterodimer, which mediates specific expressions of pro-inflammatory and immune response genes. Importantly, the NF-kB system discriminates between time-varied TNF inputs. Negative feedback regulators of the canonical pathway, including IkBa, thought to ensure transient RelA:p50 responses to brief TNF stimulations. The noncanonical NF-kB pathway controls a separate RelB activity associated with immune differentiation. In a systems modeling approach, we uncovered an unexpected role of p100, a constituent of the noncanonical pathway, in TNF signaling. Brief TNF stimulation of p100-deficient cells produced an additional late NF-kB activity composed of the RelB:p50 heterodimer, which distorted the TNF-induced gene-expression program. Periodic TNF pulses augmented this RelB:p50 activity, which was reinforced by NF-kB-dependent RelB synthesis. In sum, the NF-kB system seems to engage distantly related molecular species for enforcing dynamical and gene controls of immune-activating TNF signaling.

Selective Regulation of a Defined Subset of Inflammatory and Immunoregulatory Genes by an NF-kB p50-IkBz Pathway

Project description:The five NF-kB family members and three nuclear IkB proteins play diverse biological roles, but the mechanisms by which distinct NF-kB and NF-kB:IkB complexes contribute to selective gene transcription remain poorly understood. Using nascent transcript RNA-seq, we observed considerable overlap between p50-dependent and IkBz-dependent genes in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-activated macrophages. Key inflammatory and immunoregulatory genes, including Il6, Il1b, Nos2, Lcn2, and Batf, were among the p50-IkBz co-dependent genes. IkBz typically bound genomic sites occupied earlier by NF-kB dimers. However, p50-IkBz co-dependence did not coincide with the preferential binding of either protein, as p50, IkBz, and RelA co-occupied thousands of sites. A common feature of p50-IkBz co-dependent genes was close proximity to a p50/RelA/IkBz co-bound site exhibiting p50-dependent binding of RelA and IkBz. This result and others suggest that IkBz function is not restricted to p50 homodimers. Notably, IkBz and the p50-IkBz target genes comprise a high percentage of genes that exhibited the greatest differential expression between TLR4-stimulated and tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-stimulated macrophages, with ectopic IkBz rescuing a subset of these genes. These results reveal a defined p50-IkBz pathway that selectively activates a set of key inflammatory and immunoregulatory genes and serves as an important contributor to the differential responses to TNFR and TLR4.

Profile of gene expression in U87-MG xenografts expressing control vector (V0), the ubiquitin ligase KPC1 or the p50 subunit of the NF-kB transcription factor, using RNASeq analysis of transcripts mapped independently to the human and murine genomes

Project description:Purpose: We identified KPC1 as the ubiquitin ligase that binds to the p105 precursor of NF-kB, ubiquitinates it and mediates its proteasomal processing to generate the p50 active subunit of the transcription factor. Using U87-MG human glioblastoma xenografts, we observed that overexpression of KPC1 results in strong inhibition of tumor growth mediated via excessive generation of p50.The goal of this RNASeq study was to analyze the profile of gene expression in xenografts overexpressing control (V0), KPC1 or p50 vectors, and to further understand how the altered gene expression patterns can explain the tumor suppressive effect we observed. Results:Transcript analysis of U87-MG xenografts overexpressing control (V0), KPC1 or p50 vector mapped to the human genome revealed: • A strong similarity between overexpression of p50 and KPC1 (correlation of 0.51, p-value<10-300 ) • A specific signature of NF-kB targets [21 of the consistently changed genes are known to be regulated by NF-kB (p-value<3.4×10-9 )] • A significant (p-value<1.4×10-18) increase in the expression of 40 tumor suppressor genes, with no significant change in other classes. • A significant down regulation of a cluster of genes including LIN28B, IL-6, HMAGA2 and VEGFA. This finding links well to an established regulatory axis involving LIN28B, Let-7 microRNA, and IL-6 in inflammation and cell transformation that is regulated by NF-kB.

The NF-kB genomic landscape in lymphoblastoid B-cells

Project description:The nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) subunits RelA, RelB, c-Rel, p50 and p52 are each critical for B-cell development and function. To systematically characterize their responses to canonical and non-canonical NF-kB pathways activity, we performed ChIP-seq analysis in lymphoblastoid B-cells. We found a surprisingly complex NF-kB binding landscape, which did not readily reflect the two NF-kB pathway paradigm. Instead, ten subunit binding patterns were observed at promoters and eleven at enhancers. Surprisingly, nearly one-third of NF-kB binding sites lacked kB motifs. De novo motif finding uncovered distinct modes of NF-kB recruitment at these sites. The oncogenic forkhead box protein FOXM1 and NF-kB co-occupied many kB sites despite the absence of a FOXM1 DNA motif. FoxM1 knockdown decreased expression of key NF-kB targets and caused apoptosis. Our study highlights opportunities for selective therapeutic NF-kB blockade. ChIP-seq was used to define the genomic landscape of NF-kB DNA binding in lymphoblastoid cells.

Transcription profiling by array of cRel-/-p50-/- (DKO) and wild type (WT) peritoneal macrophages stimulated with endotoxin for 2, 6 or 18 hours.

Project description:NF-kB plays a crucial role in immunity to infection. This transcription factor consists in different combinatory homo- and hetero-dimers of the five members of the Rel family. cRel/p50-containing dimers have been involved in the development and function of the immune cells. However, the transcriptional roles of these two subunits still remain poorly explored in innate immune cells. By a multiple approach integrating ex vivo genomic analysis and an in vivo experimental study, we have investigated the consequences of the combined absence of cRel and p50 subunits of NF-kB in the innate response to infection. We have performed gene profiling of cRel-/-p50-/- (DKO) and wild type (WT) peritoneal macrophages stimulated with endotoxin for 2, 6 or 18 hours.

The NF-κB transcriptional footprint is essential for SARS-CoV-2 replication

Project description:SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent of COVID-19, is characterized by a delay in Type I interferon (IFN-I)-mediated antiviral defenses alongside robust cytokine production. Here we investigate the underlying molecular basis for this imbalance and implicate virus-mediated activation of NF-κB in the absence of other canonical IFN-I-related transcription factors. Epigenetic and single cell transcriptomic analyses show a selective NF-κB signature that was most prominent in infected cells. Disruption of NF-κB signaling through the silencing of the NF-κB transcription factors p65 or p50 resulted in loss of virus replication that was rescued upon reconstitution. These findings could be further corroborated with the use of NF-κB inhibitors, which reduced SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro. These data suggest that the robust cytokine production in response to SARS-CoV-2, despite a diminished IFN-I response, is the product of a dependency on NF-κB for viral replication.

Control of LPS induced gene expression in bone marrow derived macrophages by the p50/p105 subunit of NF-kB and IL-10

Project description:Bone marrow-derived macrophages were produced from mice lacking IL-10 alone (IL10-def) or mice lacking both IL-10 and the p50/p105 subunit of NF-kB (p50/IL10), and left unstimulated, stimulated with LPS (1 ng/ml) or stimulated with LPS and IL-10 (0.3 ng/ml). There are 12 total samples, with 2 each from the groups described in the summary. Pairwise comparisons between groups were evaluated.
