Project description:The ability of dendritic cells (DC) to initiate immunity and induce antigen-specific tolerance makes DC ideal targets for pharmacological intervention into immune responses. NF-kB factors are a family of transcriptional regulators important for DC development and function. However, the identity of NF-kB target genes that are central to DC biology is largely unknown. In the present study IkBa super repressor (IkBa-SR) and DNA microarray analysis were used to determine the repertoire of NF-kB responsive genes in DC. In DC these genes regulate vital DC functions of antigen uptake and presentation, motility, survival, etc. Taking in account limitations of the genome-wide microarray analysis, generated transcription factor data were confirmed by the independent means of RT-PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Kinetics of NF-kB induction by well-known DC activatory agents TNFa and LPS were further analysed. NF-kB regulated genes can be potentially useful targets for the development of more specific anti-inflammatory agents for clinical applications. Keywords: drug treatment, adenovirus transduction DC were generated in vitro from bone marrow of CAR transgenic mice as described previously (Hieronymus, T., T. C. Gust, R. D. Kirsch, T. Jorgas, G. Blendinger, M. Goncharenko, K. Supplitt, S. Rose-John, A. M. Muller, and M. Zenke. 2005. Progressive and controlled development of mouse dendritic cells from Flt3+CD11b+ progenitors in vitro. J Immunol 174:2552-2562). Immature DC were transduced with AdIkBa-SR adenovirus, AdOVA control virus, or left untreated. Cells were then stimulated with TNFa, or left unstimulated. Total RNA was amplified, labelled and hybridised to Affymetrix MOE430A arrays. TNFa up- and down-regulated genes, as well as genes regulated by AdOVA control virus, and suppressed by AdIkBa-SR were analysed.

Project description:The ability of dendritic cells (DC) to initiate immunity and induce antigen-specific tolerance makes DC ideal targets for pharmacological intervention into immune responses. NF-kB factors are a family of transcriptional regulators important for DC development and function. However, the identity of NF-kB target genes that are central to DC biology is largely unknown. In the present study inhibition of the NF-kB activation by the IkBa super repressor (IkBa-SR) and DNA microarray analysis were used to determine the repertoire of NF-kB responsive genes in DC. A number of immunomodulatory compounds have been suggested to target the NF-kB signalling pathway and/or NF-kB-mediated transcription of pro-inflammatory target genes. 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) exerts its effects through the vitamin D3 receptor (VDR), a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. Microarray analysis was also selected as an approach of choice for the analysis of the effects of VD3 on the activation of DC, and to survey the involvement of VDR in repression of NF-kB regulated genes. These genes can be potentially useful targets for the development of more specific anti-inflammatory agents for clinical applications. Keywords: drug treatment, TNFa treatment, VD3 treatment

Project description:Macrophage death in advanced atherosclerotic lesions is a key event in the conversion of benign lesions to vulnerable plaques. One fundamental transcription factor that has been shown to play a pivotal role in cell death/survival is nuclear factor kB (NF-kB). Still, the relevance of this key transcription factor for macrophage-derived foam cell survival has not been unequivocally resolved at the molecular level. THP-1 monocytic cell lines were generated in which NF-kB activation is specifically inhibited by overexpression of a trans-dominant, non-degradable form of IkBa (IkBa (32A/36A)) under control of the macrophage-specific SR-A promoter. A diminished lipid loading during NF-κB inhibition during foam cell formation was accompanied by increased cell death. A genome-wide expression profile of NF-kB-dependent genes during foam cell formation was established showing a widespread effect on the macrophage transcriptome. The three largest functional gene clusters identified and validated by independent techniques, were those involved in lipid metabolism, apoptosis and oxidative stress. The net result of these complex gene expression changes invoked by inhibition of NF-κB activation during lipid loading is a reduction of foam cell survival through caspase-dependent apoptosis. Thus, the NF-kB-dependent gene repertoire seems essential for sustained macrophage survival during the process of pathological lipid loading. Keywords: genetic modification, lipid loading, timecourse

Project description:To determne JunB target gene in human keratincoytes Mice with epidermal deletion of JunB transcription factor displayed a psoriasis-like inflammation. The relevance of these findings to humans and the mechanisms mediating JunB function are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that impaired JunB function via gene silencing or overexpression of a dominant negative mutant increased human keratinocyte cell proliferation but decreased cell barrier function. RNA-seq revealed over 500 genes affected by JunB loss-of-function which included an upregulation of an array of proinflammatory molecules relevant to psoriasis. Among these were TNFa, CCL2, CXCL10, IL6R and SQSTM1, an adaptor protein involved in NF-kB activation. ChIP-Seq and gene reporter analyses showed that JunB directly suppressed SQSTM1 through binding to a consensus AP-1 cis-element located around 2 Kb upstream of SQSTM1-trasncription start site. Similar to JunB loss-of-function, SQSTM1-overexpression induced TNFa, CCL2 and CXCL10. Conversely, NF-kB-inhibition genetically with a mutant IkBa or pharmacologically with PDTC prevented cytokine, but not IL6R, induction by JunB-deficiency. Taken together, our findings indicate that JunB controls epidermal growth, barrier formation and proinflammatory responses through direct and indirect mechanisms, pinpointing SQSTM1 as a key mediator of JunB-suppression of NF-kB-dependent inflammation.

Project description:Nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kB) is a transcription factor that regulates various aspects of immune response, cell death and differentiation as well as cancer. In this study we introduce the Py-Im polyamide 1 that binds preferentially to the sequences 5'-WGGWWW-3' and 5' GGGWWW-3'. The compound is capable of binding to kB sites and reducing the expression of various NF-kB driven genes including IL6 and IL8 by qRT-PCR. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate a reduction of p65 occupancy within the proximal promoters of those genes. Genome-wide expression analysis by RNA-seq compares the DNA-binding polyamide with the well-characterized NF-kB inhibitor PS1145, identifying overlaps and differences in affected gene groups and showing that both affect comparable numbers of TNFa inducible genes. Inhibition of NF-kB DNA binding via direct displacement of the transcription factor is a potential alternative to the existing antagonists. A549 cells were treated with either a Py-Im polyamide or PS1145, subsequently induced with TNFa and compared with the untreated TNFa induced and the basal state by RNAseq. The NF-kB binding motif was derived by ChIP-seq

Project description:TNF time course series of HelA tet off cells cultured in presence or absence of Dox; TNF is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that controls expression of inflammatory genetic networks. Although the Nuclear Factor-kB (NF-kB) pathway is crucial for mediating cellular TNF responses, the complete spectrum of NF-kB dependent genes is unknown. In this study, we used a tetracycline-regulated cell line expressing an NF-kB inhibitor to systematically identify NF-kB dependent genes. A microarray data set generated from a time course of TNF stimulation in the presence or absence of NF-kB signaling was analyzed. Methods: Cell culture, treatment and transfection-The human cervical epithelioid carcinoma cell line HeLa expressing tTA (HeLa Tet-Off) pBI-EGFP- IkBa Mut was constructed earlier (23). HeLa Tet-Off were grown in medium containing 90 % Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM), 10 % heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 4mM L-glutamine, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 mg/ml G418, 100 units /ml penicillin G sodium, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % CO2. For TNF stimulation, freshly isolated cells were split into two cultures, one group maintained in Dox, the other without for 7 d, a time at which IkBa Mut expression was maximal. Thereafter, recombinant human (rh) TNFa (25 ng/ml, final concentration) was added directly to the culture medium for indicated times prior to harvest. Oligonucleotide probe based microarray-Hu95Av2 GeneChip (Affymetrix Inc, Santa Clara, CA) containing 12,626 sequenced human genes were hybridized according to the manufacturer's recommendations and washed using both non-stringent (1 M NaCl, 25°C) and stringent (1 M NaCl, 50°C) conditions prior to staining with phycoerythrin streptavidin (10 mg/ml final). Arrays were scanned using a Gene Array Scanner (Hewlett Packard) and analyzed using the Gene Chip Analysis Suite 5 software (Affymetrix Inc). For each gene, 16-20 probe pairs are immobilized as ~25-mer oligonucleotides that hybridize throughout the mRNA; each probe pair is represented as a perfect match (PM) oligonucleotide and a mismatch (MM) oligonucleotide as hybridization control. The the Absolute Call [e.g., the gene is detected (present) or not (absent)] and the Signal Intensity (measure of mRNA abundance) is determined. Four independent experiments were performed identically including control (0 h), 1, 3 and 6 h TNF stimulation (25 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of Doxycyline (2 mg/ml) in growth medium. These are indicated as 180, 181, 220 and 266 series, and are considered replicates of each other.
