Project description:The liver plays a protective role in myocardial infarction (MI). However, very little is known about the mechanisms. Here, we identify mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) as a pivotal nexus that conveys communications between the liver and the heart during MI. On one hand, hepatocyte MR deficiency and MR antagonist spironolactone both improve cardiac repair after MI through regulation on hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), illustrating an MR/FGF21 axis that underlies the liver-to-heart protection against MI. On the other hand, an upstreaming acute interleukin-6 (IL6) / signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway transmits the heart-to-liver signal to suppress MR expression after MI. Hepatocyte IL6 receptor (IL6R) deficiency and STAT3 deficiency both aggravate cardiac injury through their regulation on the MR/FGF21 axis. Therefore, we have unveiled an IL6/STAT3/MR/FGF21 signaling axis that mediates heart-liver crosstalk during MI. Targeting the signaling axis and the crosstalk may provide novel strategies to treat MI and heart failure.

Project description:Interventions: Anti-IL6 receptor antibody [Actemra (tocilizumab), Chugai Pharmaceutical Co; 0.5mg/kg (n=6), 2mg/kg (n=6), or 8mg/kg (n=6)] is intravenously administrated. After three days, a maximum of 4 peptides (3 mg/each peptide), which are selected based on the results of HLA typing and peptide-specific IgG titers, are subcutaneously administrated with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (Montanide ISA51, Seppic)once a week for consecutive 6 weeks. During the treatment, safety is evaluated.The dose of anti-IL6 receptor antibody is escalated, if the safty is confirmed in 6 independent patients at the same dose.
Primary outcome(s): Safety (adverse events) of personalized peptide vaccine in combination with anti-IL6 receptor antibody.
Study Design: Single arm Non-randomized

Project description:Interleukin 6 (IL6) signaling has been associated with an aggressive and metastatic phenotype in multiple solid tumors including breast cancer, but its mechanism of action in mediating tumor progression and treatment response is not clear. By exploiting a clinically relevant intraductal xenograft model of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, we demonstrate that IL6 increases both primary tumor growth and distant metastases. By integrating pre-clinical models and clinical specimens, we show that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mediates IL6-induced activation of a metastatic gene program from enhancer-elements shared with ER and its pioneer factor FOXA1. Although IL6 activated STAT3 and ER/FOXA1 share cis-regulatory regions, STAT3 drives transcription independent of ER and FOXA1 function, and the IL6/STAT3 gene program is not influenced by ER-targeted therapies, decoupling these two important pathways. This demonstrates that ER/FOXA1 and IL6/STAT3 are two parallel, but independent actionable pathways controlling breast cancer progression.

Project description:After HSV-1 infection, ribosomal protein RPSA can recognize viral DNA and promotes the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Through ChIP-seq, we found that the level of H3K4me3 in proinflammatory cytokines(Il1b, Il6, Il12b, etc.) promoter regions was decreased due to Rpsa deficiency.

Project description:mDia1-miR146a double knockout (DKO) mice develop aging related MDS and eventually progress to AML at moribund stage. To investigate the rescue effect from IL6 deficiency, we created mDia1-miR146a-IL6 triple knockout (TKO) mice. Singel cell RNA seq was used to investigate the bone marrow cellularity change and pathway involved during the disease progression.

Project description:The latent transcription factor STAT3 is a point of convergence for numerous oncogenic signaling pathways and is excessively activated in the majority of human epithelial cancers. STAT3 promotes many hallmarks of cancer including enhanced proliferation, increased survival, sustained angiogenesis, immune evasion and tumor-promoting inflammation. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP) followed by next-generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to identify genomic Stat3 binding sites in established gastric tumors of gp130F/F mutant mice (Tebbutt et al., 2002) following administration of recombinant human interleukin (IL)-6 or IL11. The study was designed to assess differences in Stat3 recruitment in response to IL6 and IL11, two cytokines which both activate Stat3 through the shared IL6 cytokine family receptor subunit gp130. In gp130F/F mice, a robust model for inflammation-associated intestinal-type gastric tumorigenesis, the Y757F knock-in mutation in the gp130 receptor triggers spontaneous gastric tumor formation in a strictly IL11-dependent manner, but independent of IL6 signaling (Ernst et al., 2008). Therefore, the study aimed to identify IL6- and IL11-specific Stat3 target genes. In total, we identified 948 or 961 significant Stat3-DNA interactions in gp130F/F tumors following IL6 or IL11 administration, respectively. These interactions were validated by binding motif analysis which showed that at least 30% of all Stat3-associated genomic regions comprise a Stat3 consensus binding sequence.
