ABSTRACT: IFNs are highly pleiotropic cytokines also endowed with marked anti-angiogenic activity. In this study, the mRNA expression profiles of endothelial cells (EC) exposed in vitro to IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, or IFN-gamma were determined. We found that in HUVEC as well as in other EC types 175 genes were upregulated (>2-fold increase) by IFNs, including genes involved in the host response to RNA viruses, inflammation, and apoptosis. Interestingly, 41 genes showed a >5-fold higher induction by IFN-alpha in EC compared to human fibroblasts; among them, the gene encoding the angiostatic chemokine CXCL11 was selectively induced by IFN-alpha in EC along with other genes associated with angiogenesis regulation, including CXCL10, TRAIL, and guanylate binding protein 1 (GBP-1). These transcriptional changes were confirmed and extended by quantitative PCR analysis and ELISA; whereas IFN-alpha and IFN-beta exerted virtually identical effects on transcriptome modulation, a differential gene regulation by type I and type II IFN emerged, especially as far as quantitative aspects were concerned. In vivo, IFN-alpha-producing tumors over-expressed murine CXCL10-11, GBP-1 and TRAIL, with evidence of CXCL11 production by tumor-associated EC. Overall, these findings improve our understanding of the anti-angiogenic effects of IFNs by showing that these cytokines trigger an anti-angiogenic transcriptional program in EC. Moreover, we suggest that quantitative differences in the magnitude of the transcriptional activation of IFNresponsive genes could form the basis for cell-specific transcriptional signatures.

Transcription profiling of human A549 cell line treated with type I and II interferons vs. controls

Project description:Type I and type II interferons (IFNs) bind to different cell surface receptors but activate overlapping signal transduction pathways. We examined the effects of a type I IFN (IFN-acon1) and a type II iFN (IFN-g1b) on gene experession in A549 cells and demonstrate that there is a common set of genes modulated by both IFNs as well as a set of gene specifically regulated by each, reflecting the activation of different signaling pathways. In particualr, IFN-g induced many more genes of the signaling pathways, apoptosis, and cytokine interactions than did IFN-a. Even with genes induced by both IFNs there were distinctive quantitativive differences in expression. IFN-g1b plays a major role in the induction and regulation of the complement pathway. Previous work has shown a synergistic antivral and antiproliferative effect of type I and type II IFNs in cell culture and in the treament of tumors in mice. We demonstrate that a majority of genes showed and additive effect of IFN-acon1 and IFN-g1b, but a subset of gene is synergistically induced; these incluce ISG10, MX2, OAS2, and other genes known to be involved in the antiviral response, TRAIL (TNFSF10) and caspases involved in apoptosis and chemokine genes RANTES, CXCL10, and CXCL11. Greater than additive transcription of some of these genes in the presence of both IFNs was confirmed by real-time kinetic RT-PCR. Elevated induction of many of these genes may be sufficient to explain the synergistic antiviral and antitumor effects of this combination of IFNS in vivo.

Rubella virus infection in endothelial cells reduces angiogenesis via interferon betainduced CXCL10

Project description:Rubella virus infection during pregnancy can result in abortion, stillbirth and severe defects in embryogenesis resulting in congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Low vaccination coverage in developing regions results in estimated 100,000 CRS cases in infants per year with a mortality rate over 30%. The molecular pathomechanisms and potential treatments remain largely unexplored. Endothelial cells (EC) of the placenta are infected by rubella virus (RuV). RuV reduced angiogenic and migratory capacity of primary human EC whereas cell cycle and apoptosis rate were not affected. Next generation sequencing analysis revealed an induction of antiviral type I and III interferons (IFN) that induced angiogenesis-inhibiting cytokines such as CXCL10. The transcriptional profile induced by RuV resembled the effects of IFN-β treatment. The cell culture data were confirmed using human serum from RuV IgM-positive patients that showed similar increase in CXCL10 and inhibited angiogenesis. RuV-mediated inhibition of angiogenesis was reversed by treatment with blocking and neutralizing antibodies targeting CXCL10 and IFN-β receptor. The data identify an important role for anti-viral IFN-mediated induction of CXCL10 in controlling EC function during RuV infection

BID is critical for IFN-alpha-induced cell death

Project description:Clinical applications of human interferon (IFN)-alpha have met with varying degrees of success. Nevertheless, key molecules in IFN-alpha-induced cell death have not been clearly identified. Our previous study indicated that IFN (alpha, beta and omega) receptor (IFNAR) 1/2- and IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 9-RNA interference (RNAi) completely inhibited the antiproliferative (AP) activity of IFN-alpha in human ovarian adenocarcinoma OVCAR3 cells sensitive to IFN-alpha., followed by transcription of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Here, IFNAR1/2- and IRF9-RNAi inhibited the gene expression of TRAIL, but not of Fas ligand (FasL), following IFN-alpha treatment. In fact, TRAIL but not FasL inhibited the proliferation of OVCAR3 cells. IFN-alpha notably up-regulated the levels of TRAIL protein in the supernatant and on the membrane of OVCAR3 cells. Following TRAIL signaling, Caspase 8 inhibitor and BH3 interacting domain death agonist (BID)-RNAi significantly abrogated both AP activities of IFN-alpha and TRAIL. Furthermore, BID-RNAi prevented both IFN-alpha and TRAIL from collapsing the mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi m). Finally, we provide important new evidence that BID overexpression led to a major enhancement of both AP activities of IFN-alpha and TRAIL in human lung carcinoma A549 cells resistant to IFN-alpha. Thus, this study suggests that BID is crucial in IFN-alpha-induced cell death, indicating a notable potential to be a targeted therapy for IFN-alpha resistant tumors. Biological replicate samples were created by treating OVCAR3 cells with IFN-alpha2c (n=8); IFNAR1-RNAi and IFN-alpha2c (n=4); IFNAR2-RNAi and IFN-alpha2c (n=5); ISGF3gamma-RNAi and IFN-alpha2c (n=3); and Negative RNAi and IFN-alpha2c (n=3). For analysis, the eight IFN-alpha2c treated OVCAR3 samples were paired with an untreated OVCAR3 control sample. The 15 RNAi treated OVCAR3 samples were paired with a Negative RNAi control sample.

Dynamic expression profiling of type I and type III interferon-stimulated hepatocytes.

Project description:This dataset details the time-dependent response of human Huh7 hepatoma cells to type I and type III IFN. Despite activating similar signaling cascades, the type I and type III interferons (IFNs) differ in their ability to antagonize viral replication. However, it is not clear whether these cytokines induce unique antiviral states, particularly in the liver, where the clinically important hepatitis B and C viruses cause persistent infection. Here, microarray-based gene expression analysis is combined with mechanistic studies of signaling pathways to dynamically characterize the transcriptional responses induced by these cytokines in Huh7 hepatoma cells and primary human hepatocytes. Type I and III IFNs differed greatly in their level of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) induction with a clearly detectable hierarchy (IFN-β > IFN-α > IFN-λ3 > IFN-λ1 > IFN-λ2). This hierarchy resulted in widely varying numbers of differentially expressed genes when quantified using common statistical thresholds, even though individual IFNs did not appear to regulate unique sets of genes. The kinetic profiles of IFN-induced gene expression were also qualitatively similar with the important exception of IFN-α. While stimulation with either IFN-β or IFN-λs resulted in a similar long-lasting ISG induction, IFN-α signaling peaked early after stimulation then declined due to a negative feedback mechanism. The quantitative expression hierarchy and unique kinetics of IFN-α suggest different roles for individual IFNs in the immune response, and help explain previously observed differences in antiviral activity.

Transcription profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Borrelia burgdorferi or both IFN-g and Borrelia or untreated to investigate immune responses to Lyme disease

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, promotes pro-inflammatory changes in endothelium that lead to the recruitment of leukocytes. The host immune response to infection results in increased levels of IFN-gamma in the serum and lesions of Lyme disease patients that correlate with greater severity of disease. Therefore, the effect of IFN-gamma on the gene expression profile of primary human endothelial cells exposed to B. burgdorferi was determined. B. burgdorferi and IFN-gamma synergistically augmented the expression of 34 genes, seven of which encode chemokines. Six of these (CCL7, CCL8, CX3CL1, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11) attract T lymphocytes, and one (CXCL2) is specific for neutrophils. Synergistic production of the attractants for T cells was confirmed at the protein level. IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and LPS also cooperated with IFN-gamma to induce synergistic production of CXCL10 by endothelium, indicating that IFN-gamma potentiates inflammation in concert with a variety of mediators. An in vitro model of the blood vessel wall revealed that an increased number of human T lymphocytes traversed endothelium exposed to B. burgdorferi and IFN-gamma, as compared to unstimulated endothelial monolayers. In contrast, addition of IFN-gamma diminished the migration of neutrophils across B. burgdorferi-activated endothelium. IFN-gamma thus alters gene expression by endothelium exposed to B. burgdorferi in a manner that promotes recruitment of T cells and suppresses that of neutrophils. This modulation may facilitate the development of chronic inflammatory lesions in Lyme disease. Experiment Overall Design: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were stimulated with Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Borrelia burgdorferi or both IFN-g and Borrelia or were left unstimulated. Affymetrix HGU133 plus 2.0 slides were used in duplicate for each condition.
