Comparative genomic analysis of the interferon/interleukin-10 receptor gene cluster.

ABSTRACT: Interferons and interleukin-10 are involved in key aspects of the host defence mechanisms. Human chromosome 21 harbors the interferon/interleukin-10 receptor gene cluster linked to the GART gene. This cluster includes both components of the interferon alpha/beta-receptor (IFNAR1 and IFNAR2) and the second components of the interferon gamma-receptor (IFNGR2) and of the IL-10 receptor (IL10R2). We report here the complete gene content of this GART-cytokine receptor gene cluster and the use of comparative genomic analysis to identify chicken IFNAR1, IFNAR2, and IL10R2. We show that the large-scale structure of this locus is conserved in human and chicken but not in the pufferfish Fugu rubripes. This establishes that the receptor components of these host defense mechanisms were fixed in an ancestor of the amniotes. The extraordinary diversification of the interferon ligand family during the evolution of birds and mammals has therefore occurred in the context of a fixed receptor structure.

A receptor for interleukin 10 is related to interferon receptors.

Project description:We isolated cDNAs encoding a mouse interleukin 10 receptor (mIL-10R) from mouse mast cell and macrophage cell lines. The two cDNAs are substantially identical and express an approximately 110-kDa polypeptide in COS7 cells, which binds mIL-10 specifically. A mouse pro-B-cell line (Ba/F3) expressing transfected recombinant mIL-10R binds IL-10 with high affinity (approximately 70 pM) and proliferates in response to mIL-10. mIL-10R is structurally related to interferon receptors (IFNRs). Since IL-10 inhibits macrophage activation by IFN-gamma, a possible implication of this relationship interaction of IL-10R and IFN-gamma R or their signaling pathways.

Genomic cloning and sequence analysis of Interleukin-10 from Labeo rohita.

Project description:UnlabelledInterleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine and plays an important role in inflammation, immunoregulation and the pathogenesis of various diseases. Therefore, it is our interest to isolate, clone, sequence and characterize IL-10 gene from the fish Labeo rohita (Lr). The gene was amplified using genomic DNA isolated from head kidney with primers designed on conserved sequence homologues of fishes belonging to Cyprinidae family. The gLrIL-10 is 1467 nucleotides long with five exons and four introns sharing the same organization as of mammalian IL-10 genes. An open reading frame of 537 bp was found to encode a putative 179 amino acid protein with a signal peptide of 22 amino acids with conserved signature sequence motif. Sequence analysis showed similarity with the IL-10 from most fresh water fishes of Cyprinidae family. LrIL-10 has 27.2 % identity and 54.95 % similarity with the human IL-10. Sequence analysis followed by phylogenetic studies showed highest identity with Catla catla (98%) followed by Cyprinus carpio (93%), Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (89%) and is distantly related to human, rhesus monkey and frog. These data from primary sequence characterization may be used to further understand transcriptional regulation and functional characterization of LrIL-10 in relation to species-specific molecular immunology.AbbreviationsIL-10 - Interleukin-10, Lr - Labeo rohita, nt - nucleotides.

Mapping of the interleukin-10/interleukin-10 receptor combining site.

Project description:The discontinuous interleukin-10(IL-10)/interleukin-10 receptor (IL-10R) combining site was mapped using sets of overlapping peptides derived from both binding partners bound to continuous cellulose membranes. Low affinity binding of single regions of the discontinuous contact sites on IL-10 and IL-10R could be identified due to (1) high peptide density on the membrane support, (2) incubation with high protein concentrations, (3) indirect immunodetection of the ligates after electrotransfer onto polyvinylene difluoride membranes, and (4) use of highly overlapping peptide scans of different length (6-mers and 15-mers). The single binding regions identified for each protein species are separated in the protein sequences, but form continuous areas on the surface of IL-10 (X-ray structure) and IL-10R (computer model). Furthermore, four epitopes of neutralizing anti-IL-10 and anti-IL-10R antibodies were mapped and overlap with these binding regions. Soluble peptides (15- to 19-mers) each spanning one of the three identified IL-10-derived receptor binding regions displayed no significant affinity to IL-10R as expected, whereas a peptide (35-mer) comprising two of these regions had considerably higher binding activity. The data are consistent with a previously published computer model of the IL-10/IL-10R complex. This approach should be generally applicable for the mapping of non-linear protein-protein contact sites.

Targeting of interleukin-10 receptor by a potential human interleukin-10 peptide efficiently blocks interleukin-10 pathway-dependent cell proliferation.

Project description:ObjectiveHuman interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a dimeric and pleiotropic cytokine that plays a crucial role in cellular immunoregulatory responses. As IL-10 binds to its receptors, IL-10Ra and IL-10Rb, it will suppress or induce the downstream cellular immune responses to protect from diseases.Materials and methodsIn this study, a potential peptide derived from IL-10 based on molecular docking and structural analysis was designed and validated by a series of cell assays to block IL-10 binding to receptor IL-10Ra for the inhibition of cell growth.ResultsThe simulation results indicate that the designed peptide IL10NM25 bound to receptor IL-10Ra is dominated by electrostatic interactions, whereas van der Waals (VDW) and hydrophobic interactions are minor. The cell experiments showed that IL10NM25 specifically binds to receptor IL-10Ra on the cell surface of two B-lineage cell lines, B lymphoma derived (BJAB), and lymphoblastoid cell line, whereas the mutant and scramble peptides are not able to suppress the binding of IL-10 to receptor IL-10Ra, consistent with the molecular simulation predictions.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that structure-based peptide design can be effective in the development of peptide drug discovery.

Interferon-lambda is functionally an interferon but structurally related to the interleukin-10 family.

Project description:Interferon-lambda (IFN-lambda) is an antiviral cytokine that signals through a distinct receptor complex, composed of the IFN-lambdaR1 and interleukin-10R2 (IL-10R2) receptor chains. We have determined the crystal structure of human IFN-lambda3 and characterized the interaction with its receptor complex through structure-based site-directed mutagenesis. The ability of IFN-lambda3 mutants to signal was determined by measuring the antiviral activity and induced STAT2 phosphorylation. In conclusion, our data show that, although IFN-lambda is functionally an interferon, it is clearly structurally related to members of the IL-10 family. In particular, we found an interesting similarity between IFN-lambda and IL-22, and we suggest that IFN-lambda and IL-22 possess parallel functions, protecting epithelial tissue against viral and bacterial infections, respectively.

Interleukin-10 causes interferon-γ-dependent emergency myelopoiesis

Project description:In emergency myelopoiesis (EM), expansion of the myeloid progenitor compartment and increased myeloid cell production is observed, often mediated by the pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ. IL-10 inhibits IFN-γ secretion, largely by its effects on macrophages and dendritic cells, but, paradoxically, its therapeutic administration to humans causes hematologic changes similar to those observed in EM. In this work we used different in vivo systems, including a humanized immune system mouse model, to show that IL-10 triggers EM, with a significant expansion of the myeloid progenitor compartment and production of myeloid cells. Hematopoietic progenitors display a prominent IFN-γ transcriptional signature, and we show that IFN-γ mediates IL-10-driven EM. We also found that IL-10, unexpectedly, induces IFN-γ production by all T cell subsets in vivo. Therefore, in addition to its established anti-inflammatory properties, IL-10 can induce IFN-γ production and EM, opening new perspectives for the design of IL-10-based immunotherapies.

The human interleukin-2 receptor beta-chain gene: genomic organization, promoter analysis and chromosomal assignment.

Project description:The chromosomal gene for the human interleukin-2 receptor beta-chain (IL-2R beta) was isolated and characterized. The entire IL-2R beta gene is composed of ten exons spanning about 24.3 kilobases, in which the protein is encoded by the exons 2-10. The cysteine rich extracellular region which displays a significant evolutionary resemblance to other cytokine receptors, as well as growth hormone and prolactin receptors, is encoded primarily by exons 3 and 4, whereas the membrane proximal, cysteine poor domain showing a homology with type III modules of fibronectin is encoded by exon 7. Sequence analysis of the 5'-flanking region revealed the presence of potential binding sites for transcription factors such as Octamer binding factors, AP-1, AP-2 as well as the 'GC-clusters'. At least five potential cap sites were identified by S1 mapping analysis. The 850 bp DNA sequence of the 5'-flanking region exhibited constitutive promoter activity when it was linked upstream of the HSV-tk reporter gene and then transfected into YT cells, a human leukemic cell line. By applying the RFLP linkage analysis, the IL-2R beta gene has been assigned to chromosome 22q12-13.

Interleukin-10 gene polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

Project description:To assess the association between Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene IL-10-1082 (G/A), IL-10-592(C/A), IL-10-819 (T/C) polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility.Two investigators independently searched the Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedicine Database. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for IL-10 polymorphisms and HCC were calculated in a ?xed-effects model (the Mantel-Haenszel method) and a random-effects model (the DerSimonian and Laird method) when appropriate.This meta-analysis included seven eligible studies, which included 1012 HCC cases and 2308 controls. Overall, IL-10-1082 G/A polymorphism was not associated with the risk of HCC (AA vs AG + GG, OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.90-1.37). When stratifying for ethnicity, the results were similar (Asian, OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.87-1.44; non-Asian, OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.75-1.60). In the overall analysis, the IL-10 polymorphism at position -592 (C/A) was identi?ed as a genetic risk factor for HCC among Asians; patients carrying the IL-10-592*C allele had an increased risk of HCC (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.12-1.49). No association was observed between the IL-10-819 T/C polymorphism and HCC susceptibility (TT vs TC + CC, OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.79-1.32).This meta-analysis suggests that IL-10-592 A/C polymorphism may be associated with HCC among Asians. IL-10-1082 G/A and IL-10-819 T/C polymorphisms were not detected to be related to the risk for HCC.

Comparative genomic analysis of collagen gene diversity.

Project description:Collagen gene family, comprising 30% of the total protein mass in mammals, is the major part of extracellular matrix. To understand the complexity of collagen gene family, detailed sequence, phylogenetic and synteny analyses of 44 collagen genes were performed. According to sequence analysis results, Fibril-associated collagen with interrupted triple helices (FACITs) were identified as the most recently evolved vertebrate-specific collagens while Fibril-forming collagens and Collagen VI, VII, XXVI, and XXVIII were the most ancient collagens, originating at the time of choanoflagellates. Network-forming collagens were entirely conserved from arthopods to homo sapiens, except one gene loss event. Of note, bird specific gene dispensability of COL1A1, COL3A1, COL5A3 and COL11A2 genes was observed in Fibril-forming collagens. According to phylogenetic analysis, gene duplications in collagen family occurred at variable time points during invertebrate to vertebrate evolution. However, majority of gene duplications in FACITs and network-forming collagens occurred at fish time point, suggesting large scale duplications at the root of vertebrate lineage. Lastly, synteny analysis identified 12 conserved blocks containing 27 collagen genes in vertebrate species. Interestingly, dysregulation of seven conserved blocks including block1 (COL11A1), block3 (COL3A1, COL5A2), block5 (COL6A5, COL6A6), block7 (COL1A2), block9 (COL4A1, COL4A2), block11 (COL6A1, COL6A2, COL18A1) and block12 (COL4A5, COL4A6) were also reported in different diseases including cancer. The current study revealed many critical insights into sequence, structural and functional diversity of collagen gene family. In future, by using this information we may be able to establish the clinical and pathological relevance of these conserved collagen blocks in different diseases.
