Project description:Macrophage cells form part of our first line defense against pathogens. Macrophages become activated by microbial products such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to produce inflammatory mediators, such as TNF? and other cytokines, which orchestrate the host defense against the pathogen. Once the pathogen has been eradicated, the activated macrophage must be appropriately deactivated or inflammatory diseases result. Interleukin-10 (IL10) is a key anti-inflammatory cytokine which deactivates the activated macrophage. The IL10 receptor (IL10R) signals through the Jak1/Tyk2 tyrosine kinases, STAT3 transcription factor and the SHIP1 inositol phosphatase. However, IL10 has also been described to induce the activation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) regulated protein kinase A (PKA). We now report that IL10R signalling leads to STAT3/SHIP1 dependent expression of the EP4 receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In macrophages, EP4 is a G?s-protein coupled receptor that stimulates adenylate cyclase (AC) production of cAMP, leading to downstream activation of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylation of the CREB transcription factor. IL10 induction of phospho-CREB and inhibition of LPS-induced phosphorylation of p85 PI3K and p70 S6 kinase required the presence of EP4. These data suggest that IL10R activation of STAT3/SHIP1 enhances EP4 expression, and that it is EP4 which activates cAMP-dependent signalling. The coordination between IL10R and EP4 signalling also provides an explanation for why cAMP elevating agents synergize with IL10 to elicit anti-inflammatory responses.

Project description:Production of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF? by activated macrophages is an important component of host defense. However, TNF? production must be tightly controlled to avoid pathological consequences. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 inhibits TNF? mRNA expression through activation of the STAT3 transcription factor pathway and subsequent expression of STAT3-dependent gene products. We hypothesized that IL-10 must also have more rapid mechanisms of action and show that IL-10 rapidly shifts existing TNF? mRNA from polyribosome-associated polysomes to monosomes. This translation suppression requires the presence of SHIP1 (SH2 domain-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 1) and involves inhibition of Mnk1 (MAPK signal-integrating kinase 1). Furthermore, activating SHIP1 using a small-molecule agonist mimics the inhibitory effect of IL-10 on Mnk1 phosphorylation and TNF? translation. Our data support the existence of an alternative STAT3-independent pathway through SHIP1 for IL-10 to regulate TNF? translation during the anti-inflammatory response.

Project description:Memory CD8(+) T cells are critical for long-term immunity, but the genetic pathways governing their formation remain poorly defined. This study shows that the IL-10-IL-21-STAT3 pathway is critical for memory CD8(+) T cell development after acute LCMV infection. In the absence of either interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-21 or STAT3, virus-specific CD8(+) T cells retain terminal effector (TE) differentiation states and fail to mature into protective memory T cells that contain self-renewing central memory T cells. Expression of Eomes, BCL-6, Blimp-1, and SOCS3 was considerably reduced in STAT3-deficient memory CD8(+) T cells, and BCL-6- or SOCS3-deficient CD8(+) T cells also had perturbed memory cell development. Reduced SOCS3 expression rendered STAT3-deficient CD8(+) T cells hyperresponsive to IL-12, suggesting that the STAT3-SOCS3 pathway helps to insulate memory precursor cells from inflammatory cytokines that drive TE differentiation. Thus, memory CD8(+) T cell precursor maturation is an active process dependent on IL-10-IL-21-STAT3 signaling.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The molecular cause of inflammatory bowel disease is largely unknown. METHODS:We performed genetic-linkage analysis and candidate-gene sequencing on samples from two unrelated consanguineous families with children who were affected by early-onset inflammatory bowel disease. We screened six additional patients with early-onset colitis for mutations in two candidate genes and carried out functional assays in patients' peripheral-blood mononuclear cells. We performed an allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation in one patient. RESULTS:In four of nine patients with early-onset colitis, we identified three distinct homozygous mutations in genes IL10RA and IL10RB, encoding the IL10R1 and IL10R2 proteins, respectively, which form a heterotetramer to make up the interleukin-10 receptor. The mutations abrogate interleukin-10-induced signaling, as shown by deficient STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) phosphorylation on stimulation with interleukin-10. Consistent with this observation was the increased secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha and other proinflammatory cytokines from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells from patients who were deficient in IL10R subunit proteins, suggesting that interleukin-10-dependent "negative feedback" regulation is disrupted in these cells. The allogeneic stem-cell transplantation performed in one patient was successful. CONCLUSIONS:Mutations in genes encoding the IL10R subunit proteins were found in patients with early-onset enterocolitis, involving hyperinflammatory immune responses in the intestine. Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation resulted in disease remission in one patient.

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-10 plays an important role in immune regulation in the intestine. Immune deregulation is suggested in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to elucidate the role of IL-23 in the suppression of IL-10 in the IBD intestinal mucosa. Surgically removed colon specimens were obtained from 16 IBD patients. The expressions of IL-10, IL-23, and IgA in the specimens were examined at the protein and gene transcriptional levels. The gene transcription of IL-10 was assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and promoter accessibility assay. The levels of IgA and IL-10 were significantly lower, whereas the levels of IL-23 were higher, in IBD specimens than in normal controls. The levels of IgA and IL-10 were negatively correlated with the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the IBD mucosa. The production of IL-10 by lamina propria mononuclear cells was lower in the IBD group than in the control group, and these levels could be enhanced by blocking IL-23. The gene transcription of IL-10 was significantly suppressed in CD4(+) T cells of IBD mucosa; this phenomenon could be replicated in vitro by adding IL-23 in the culture of polarized Th2 cells. Overexpression of IL-23 in the intestinal mucosa suppresses the production of IL-10, which weakens the defensive barrier by reducing the production of IgA in the gut.

Project description:Allosteric binding events play a critical role in the formation and stability of transcriptional activator-coactivator complexes, perhaps in part due to the often intrinsically disordered nature of one or more of the constituent partners. The kinase-inducible domain interacting (KIX) domain of the master coactivator CREB binding protein/p300 is a conformationally dynamic domain that complexes with transcriptional activators at two discrete binding sites in allosteric communication. The complexation of KIX with the transcriptional activation domain of mixed-lineage leukemia protein leads to an enhancement of binding by the activation domain of CREB (phosphorylated kinase-inducible domain of CREB) to the second site. A transient kinetic analysis of the ternary complex formation aided by small molecule ligands that induce positive or negative cooperative binding reveals that positive cooperativity is largely governed by stabilization of the bound complex as indicated by a decrease in koff. Thus, this suggests the increased binding affinity for the second ligand is not due to an allosteric creation of a more favorable binding interface by the first ligand. This is consistent with data from us and from others indicating that the on rates of conformationally dynamic proteins approach the limits of diffusion. In contrast, negative cooperativity is manifested by alterations in both kon and koff, suggesting stabilization of the binary complex.

Project description:In Interleukin (IL)-6 signalling, IL-6 site I binds to the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) first, following by IL-6 site II interaction to domain 2/3 of gp130 to form premature trimeric IL-6:IL‑6R:gp130 receptor complexes. Formation of the mature hexameric receptor complex is then facilitated by the inter-trimeric interaction of IL-6 site III with domain 1 of the opposing gp130. The two gp130-associated Janus kinases (JAKs) trans-phosphorylate when their spatiotemporal pairing is correct, which causes the activation of STAT, ERK, and AKT pathways in a balanced manner. Since the intracellular domain (ICD) of IL-6R is not needed for STAT/ERK/AKT phosphorylation, we investigated the conditions under which a chimeric IL-6RECD-gp130TMD/ICD receptor protein confers biological activity. For IL‑6RECD‑gp130TMD/ICD, the extracellular domain (ECD) of IL-6R was fused to the transmembrane domain (TMD) and ICD of gp130. Co-expression of IL‑6RECD‑gp130TMD/ICD with signalling-deficient gp130 variants did not induce IL-6 signalling, suggesting that the assembly of hexameric complexes failed to dimerize the IL-6R-associated JAKs correctly. By mimicking the premature trimeric receptor complex, IL-6-mediated dimerization of IL-6RECD-gp130TMD/ICD with the single-cytokine-binding variant gp130DD1 induced signalling. Of note, IL-6 signalling via these synthetic gp130DD1:IL-6RECD-gp130TMD/ICD complexes resulted predominantly in STAT3 phosphorylation. A STAT3-dominated profile was also observed after IL-6-induced signalling mediated by a JAK-deficient IL‑6RECD‑gp130TMD/ICDDJAK variant in complex with the JAK-proficient but STAT/ERK/AKT-deficient gp130JAKDICD variant. Our data showed that effective ERK/AKT signalling could not be executed after intracellular domain swapping from gp130 to the IL-6R. Taken together, the chimeric IL-6R/gp130 receptor may be helpful in the creation of customized synthetic IL-6 signalling.

Project description:Ependymoma (EPN) in childhood is a brain tumor with substantial mortality. Inflammatory response has been identified as a molecular signature of high-risk Group A EPN. To better understand the biology of this phenotype and aid therapeutic development, transcriptomic data from Group A and B EPN patient tumor samples, and additional malignant and normal brain data, were analyzed to identify the mechanism underlying EPN Group A inflammation. Enrichment of IL6 and STAT3 pathway genes were found to distinguish Group A EPN from Group B EPN and other brain tumors, implicating an IL6 activation of STAT3 mechanism. EPN tumor cell growth was shown to be dependent on STAT3 activity, as demonstrated using shRNA knockdown and pharmacologic inhibition of STAT3 that blocked proliferation and induced apoptosis. The inflammatory factors secreted by EPN tumor cells were shown to reprogram myeloid cells, and this paracrine effect was characterized by a significant increase in pSTAT3 and IL8 secretion. Myeloid polarization was shown to be dependent on tumor secretion of IL6, and these effects could be reversed using IL6-neutralizing antibody or IL6 receptor-targeted therapeutic antibody tocilizumab. Polarized myeloid cell production of IL8 drove unpolarized myeloid cells to upregulate CD163 and to produce a number of proinflammatory cytokines. Collectively, these findings indicate that constitutive IL6/STAT3 pathway activation is important in driving tumor growth and inflammatory cross-talk with myeloid cells within the Group A EPN microenvironment. Effective design of Group A-targeted therapy for children with EPN may require reversal of this potentially immunosuppressive and protumor pathway.

Project description:Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic in northeastern Thailand and Northern Australia. Severe septicemic melioidosis is associated with high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and is correlated with poor clinical outcomes. IL-10 is an immunoregulatory cytokine, which in other infections can control the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but its role in melioidosis has not been addressed. Here, whole blood of healthy seropositive individuals (n = 75), living in N. E. Thailand was co-cultured with B. pseudomallei and production of IL-10 and IFN-γ detected and the cellular sources identified. CD3- CD14+ monocytes were the main source of IL-10. Neutralization of IL-10 increased IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α production and improved bacteria killing. IFN-γ production and microbicidal activity were impaired in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM). In contrast, IL-10 production was unimpaired in individuals with DM, resulting in an IL-10 dominant cytokine balance. Neutralization of IL-10 restored the IFN-γ response of individuals with DM to similar levels observed in healthy individuals and improved killing of B. pseudomallei in vitro. These results demonstrate that monocyte derived IL-10 acts to inhibit potentially protective cell mediated immune responses against B. pseudomallei, but may also moderate the pathological effects of excessive cytokine production during sepsis.

Project description:AimTo test the role of mast cells in gut inflammation and colitis using interleukin (IL)-10-deficient mice as an experimental model.MethodsMast cell-deficient (Kit (W-sh/W-sh) ) mice were crossbred with IL-10-deficient mice to obtain double knockout (DKO) mice. The growth, mucosal damage and colitis status of DKO mice were compared with their IL-10-deficient littermates.ResultsDKO mice exhibited exacerbated colitis compared with their IL-10-deficient littermates, as shown by increased pathological score, higher myeloperoxidase content, enhanced Th1 type pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory signaling, elevated oxidative stress, as well as pronounced goblet cell loss. In addition, deficiency in mast cells resulted in enhanced mucosal damage, increased gut permeability, and impaired epithelial tight junctions. Mast cell deficiency was also linked to systemic inflammation, as demonstrated by higher serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α and interferon γ in DKO mice than that in IL-10-deficient mice.ConclusionMast cell deficiency in IL-10-deficient mice resulted in systematic and gut inflammation, impaired gut barrier function, and severer Th1-mediated colitis when compared to mice with only IL-10-deficiency. Inflammation and impaired gut epithelial barrier function likely form a vicious cycle to worsen colitis in the DKO mice.
