Differential IFNa-stimulated gene expression profiles in PLZF-inducible U937T monocyte cells

ABSTRACT: Sensitivity to Interferon (IFN) is determined by a complex coordination of genetic and environmental factors. A previous experiment using two renal cancer cell lines differing markedly in their response to IFN were analyzed for their ISG profiles in order to determine gene expression changes associated with IFN sensitivity (Holko M, Williams BR. Functional annotation of IFN-alpha-stimulated gene expression profiles from sensitive and resistant renal cell carcinoma cell lines. J Interferon Cytokine Res 2006 Aug;26(8):534-47). Higher and more persistent expression of a subset of ISGs was noted in the IFN-sensitive RCC1 cells when compared with the relatively IFN-insensitive ACHN cells. A subset of Interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) whose sustained expression correlates with heightened IFN sensitivity were analyzed for functional and sequence similarities. This subset predominately contains genes involved in transcription, and most were found to contain in their promoters binding sites for promyleocytic zinc finger factor (PLZF), a transcriptional repressor identified by virtue of its role in the etiology of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). Analysis of gene expression in a lymphoid cell line with inducible PLZF expression reveals that increased expression of immune system related genes including ISGs, depends on PLZF expression. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation assays show direct association between PLZF and in silico identified PLZF binding sites in ISG promoters. This study reveals a novel interaction between PLZF and IFN signaling. A time course of IFNa treatment (0, 6, 16, 24 hrs) was performed in tetetracycline induced PLZF overexpressing and control U937T:PLZF45 cells. For the 0 hr time point, PLZF overexpression (Cy5) was compared with control cells (Cy3). For the 6, 16, and 24 hr IFN treated time points, treated RNA was labelled with Cy5 and non-IFN treated RNA with Cy3. Each IFN treatment time point was performed on control and PLZF-overexpressing cells respectively.

Interferons (IFNs) direct innate and acquired immune responses and, accordingly, are used therapeutically to treat a number of diseases, yet the diverse effects they elicit are not fully understood. Here, we identified the promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) protein as a previously unrecognized component of the IFN response. IFN stimulated an association of PLZF with promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) to induce a decisive subset of IFN-stimulated genes ( ...[more]

Project description:HIV is able to outpace the innate immune response, including the response mediated by interferon (IFN), to establish a productive infection. However, monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) may be protected from HIV infection by treatment with type I IFN before virus exposure. The ability of HIV to modulate the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response when it encounters a cell that has already been exposed to IFN was investigated. To investigate the presence of HIV on an established IFN response, MDMs were subjected to four different conditions: (1) IFN-treated only, (2) IFN-treated followed by HIV infection, (3) HIV infected only, and (4) a mock-treated and mock-infected control. Microarray gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 24 samples derived from the 4 conditions assessed at 3 time points (1, 4 and 8 days following treatment/infection) for both IFN-α2 or -ω. Initially, ISGs were identified as those that were upregulated greater than 2-fold by IFN alone (condition 1) at both Days 4 and 8. Then, the IFN-treated condition was compared to the IFN-treated followed by HIV-infection condition in order to identify those ISGs that were downregulated at least 1.5-fold by the presence of HIV at both days. Assuming that it would be counterproductive for HIV infection by itself to induce the expression of ISGs with putative anti-HIV effects, those ISGs that were upregulated greater than 2-fold in the HIV control were removed. Finally, ISGs that passed these filters and were concordant with both IFN-treatments (IFN-α2 and -ω) were identified and corresponded to the following 8 ISGs: AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL), interferon-alpha inducible protein 27 (IFI27), interferon-induced protein 44 (IFI44), interferon-induced protein 44-like (IFI44L), ISG15, OAS1, OAS3 and XIAP associated factor 1 (XAF1). It should be noted that the IFN-α2 and -ω microarray experiments were performed in different batches but batch effects were not corrected since genes were identified by the filtering approach just described within each batch.
