Identification of IL-21-induced STAT3 dependent genes in human B cells

ABSTRACT: IL-21 induces B cell activation, and differentiation into antibody-secreting plasmablasts in vitro. This process is abolished by loss-of function mutations in STAT3 We used microarrays to identify genes that are induced by IL-21 in a STAT3-dependent manner Sort-purified naÃ¯ve B cells from four healthy donors and three patients with AD-HIES due to heterozygous STAT3 mutations were cultured for four days with CD40L in the presence or absence of IL-21 (50ng/ml). After four days, RNA was extracted from the harvested cells and the genetic profile was analysed by microarray.

B-cell responses are guided by the integration of signals through the B-cell receptor (BCR), CD40, and cytokine receptors. The common γ chain (γc)-binding cytokine interleukin (IL)-21 drives humoral immune responses via STAT3-dependent induction of transcription factors required for plasma cell generation. We investigated additional mechanisms by which IL-21/STAT3 signaling modulates human B-cell responses by studying patients with STAT3 mutations. IL-21 strongly induced CD25 (IL-2Rα) in normal, ...[more]

A mouse model of HIES reveals pro and anti-inflammatory functions of STAT3

Project description:Mutations of STAT3 underlie the autosomal dominant form of hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES). STAT3 has critical roles in immune cells and thus, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), might be a reasonable therapeutic strategy in this disease. However, STAT3 also has critical functions in non-hematopoietic cells and dissecting the protean roles of STAT3 is limited by the lethality associated with germline deletion of Stat3. Thus, predicting the efficacy of HSCT for HIES is difficult. To begin to dissect the importance of STAT3 in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells as it relates to HIES, we generated a mouse model of this disease. We found that these transgenic mice recapitulate multiple aspects of HIES, including elevated serum IgE and failure to generate Th17 cells. We found that these mice were susceptible to bacterial infection that was partially corrected by HSCT using wild type bone marrow, emphasizing the role played by the epithelium in the pathophysiology of HIES. The effect of IL-6 and IL-10 on BM-DC gene expression was investigated in cell derived from wild type or mut-Stat3 mice

Opposing Roles of STAT1 and STAT3 in IL-21 Function in CD4+ T cells

Project description:Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a type 1 cytokine essential for immune cell differentiation and function. Although IL-21 can activate several STAT family transcription factors, previous studies focused mainly on the role of STAT3 in IL-21 signaling. Here, we investigated the role of STAT1 and show that STAT1 and STAT3 have at least partially opposing roles in IL-21 signaling in CD4+ T cells. IL-21 induced STAT1 phosphorylation, and this was augmented in Stat3-deficient CD4+ T cells. RNA-Seq analysis of CD4+ T cells from Stat1- and Stat3-deficient mice revealed that both STAT1 and STAT3 are critical for IL-21-mediated gene regulation. Expression of some genes, including Tbx21 and Ifng, was differentially regulated by STAT1 and STAT3, and interestingly, ChIP-Seq analysis showed that STAT3 binding at Tbx21 and Ifng loci was attenuated in Stat1-deficient cells. Moreover, opposing actions of STAT1 and STAT3 on IFN- expression in CD4+ T cells were demonstrated in vivo during chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV) infection. Finally, IL-21-mediated induction of STAT1 phosphorylation, as well as IFNG and TBX21 expression, were higher in CD4+ T cells from patients with autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES), which is caused by STAT3 deficiency. These data indicate an interplay between STAT1 and STAT3 in fine-tuning IL-21 actions. Genome-wide transcription factors mapping and binding of STAT3 in mouse CD4+ T cells in both WT and Stat1-deficient mice. RNA-Seq is performed in mouse CD4+ T cells in WT, Stat1-deficient and Stat3-deficient mice.

Disruption of STAT3 signaling promotes KRAS induced lung tumorigenesis

Project description:Oncogenic STAT3 functions are known in various malignancies. We found that STAT3 plays an unexpected tumor suppressive role in KRAS-mutant non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC). In mice, tissue-specific inactivation of Stat3 resulted in increased Kras (G12D)-driven NSCLC initiation and malignant progression leading to markedly reduced survival. Clinically, low STAT3 expression levels correlate with poor survival in human lung adenocarcinoma patients with smoking history. Consistently, KRAS-mutant lung tumors showed reduced STAT3 levels. Mechanistically, we show that STAT3 controls NFÎºB-induced IL-8-expression by sequestering NFÎºB in the cytoplasm while IL-8 in turn regulates myeloid tumor infiltration and tumor vascularization thereby promoting tumor progression. These results identify a novel STAT3-NFÎºB-IL-8 axis in KRAS-mutant NSCLC with therapeutic and prognostic relevance WT: Control lung; KRAS: Lung tumors expressing KRAS G12D; KRAS STAT3 KO: Lung tumors expressing KRAS G12D- STAT3 deficient; tumors of four mice pooled per sample

Genome-wide transcriptome analysis in PBMCs of HIES patient A.II.1 compared to healthy sibling A.II.5

Project description:Signal-transducer-and-activator-of-transcription-3 (STAT3) is a central regulator of immune homeostasis. STAT3 levels are strictly controlled and STAT3 impairment contributes to several diseases including the monogenic autosomal-dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES). We investigated patients of four consanguineous families with an autosomal-recessive disorder resembling the phenotype of AD-HIES, with symptoms of immunodeficiency, recurrent infections, skeletal abnormalities, and elevated IgE. Patients presented with reduced STAT3 expression and diminished Th17 cell numbers, in absence of STAT3 mutations. We identified homozygous nonsense mutations in ZNF341, encoding a zinc-finger transcription factor. Wildtype-ZNF341 bound to and activated the STAT3 promoter, whereas the mutant variants showed impaired transcriptional activation, partly due to nuclear translocation failure. In summary, nonsense mutations in ZNF341 account for the STAT3-like phenotype in four autosomal-recessive kindreds. Thus, ZNF341 is a previously unrecognized regulator of immune homeostasis.

Dynamic genome-wide transcriptional response of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells to IL-6 and Il-10

Project description:Single cell timecourse experiments demonstrated that though IL-6 and IL-10 activate STAT3, they generate different temporal patterns of activation, with IL-6 generating a transient activation of STAT3, and IL-10 generating a sustained STAT3 response. We hypothesized that these different STAT3 activation dynamics would dictate the differing cellular responses to the two cytokines. Human monocyte-derived denditic cells from four different donors were treated with IL-6 or IL-10 for either 0min, 45min, 2hr, 4hr, 8hr, or 12hr. Total RNA was isolated from each sample and used for gene expression analysis.

Analysis of interleukin-21-induced Prdm1 gene regulation reveals functional cooperation of STAT3 and IRF4 TFs

Project description:Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a pleiotropic cytokine that induces expression of transcription factor BLIMP1 (encoded by Prdm1), which regulates plasma cell differentiation and T cell homeostasis. We identified an IL-21 response element downstream of Prdm1 that binds the transcription factors STAT3 and IRF4, which are required for optimal Prdm1 expression. Genome-wide ChIP-Seq mapping of STAT3- and IRF4-binding sites showed that most regions with IL-21-induced STAT3 binding also bound IRF4 in vivo, and furthermore, revealed that the noncanonical TTCnnnTAA GAS motif critical in Prdm1 was broadly used for STAT3 binding. Comparing genome-wide expression array data to binding sites revealed that most IL-21-regulated genes were associated with combined STAT3-IRF4 sites rather than pure STAT3 sites. Correspondingly, ChIP-Seq analysis of Irf4_/_ T cells showed greatly diminished STAT3 binding after IL-21 treatment, and Irf4_/_ mice showed impaired IL- 21-induced Tfh cell differentiation in vivo. These results reveal broad cooperative gene regulation by STAT3 and IRF4. Affymetrix expression data: Prepare CD4+ T cells from spleen. CD4+ T cells were preactivated, rested, and treated with IL-21 for 1, 6, and 24 hours. ChIP-seq data: Profiling of IRF4 and Stat3 binding with and without IL-21 stimulation in wild type and IRF4 KO mice.
