Project description:Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and Janus kinases (JAKs) regulate transcriptional programs and protein synthesis to control the differentiation of effector CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL). Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, we have generated an in-depth characterisation of how IL-2 and JAKs configure the CTL proteome to control CTL function. We found that IL-2-JAK1/3 signaling selectively regulated the abundance of a key subset of proteins influencing the accumulation of critical cytokines and effector molecules in T cells. Moreover, IL-2 controlled the concentration of proteins that support core metabolic processes essential for cellular fitness. One fundamental insight was the dominant role for IL-2 in controlling how effector T cells respond to their microenvironment. IL-2-JAK1/3 signaling pathways thus controlled the abundance of nutrient transporters, nutrient sensors and critical oxygen sensing molecules. The data provide key insights of how IL-2 controls T cell function and highlight signaling mechanisms and transcription factors that link oxygen sensing to transcriptional control of CD8+ T cell differentiation.

Project description:Activating JAK and STAT mutations were discovered in many T-cell malignancies including ALK- anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). However, such mutations often occur in a minority of patients. To investigate the clinical application of targeting Janus Kinase (JAK) for ALK- ALCL, we treated ALK- cell lines of different histologic origins with JAK inhibitors. Interestingly, most exogenous cytokine independent cell lines responded to JAK inhibition regardless of JAK mutation status. JAK inhibitor sensitivity correlated with STAT3 phosphorylation status of tumor cells. Employing retroviral shRNA knockdown, we demonstrated that these JAK inhibitor sensitive cells were dependent on both JAK1 and STAT3 for survival. JAK1 and STAT3 gain-of-function mutations were found in some but not all JAK inhibitor sensitive cells. Moreover, the mutations alone could not explain the JAK1/STAT3 dependency as wild-type JAK1 or STAT3 was sufficient to promote cell survival in the cells that had either JAK1or STAT3 mutations. To investigate whether other mechanisms were involved, we knocked down upstream receptors GP130 or IL-2Rγ. Knockdown of GP130 or IL-2Rγ induced cell death in select JAK inhibitor sensitive cells. High levels of cytokine expression including IL-6 were demonstrated in cell lines as well as in primary ALK- ALCL tumors. Finally, ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, was effective in vivo in a xenograft ALK- ALCL model. Our data suggest cytokine receptor signaling was required for tumor cell survival in diverse forms of ALK- ALCL even in the presence of JAK1/STAT3 mutations. Therefore, JAK-inhibitor therapy might benefit patients with ALK- ALCL that are pSTAT3+.

Project description:Cytokines employ downstream Janus kinases (JAKs) to promote many chronic inflammatory disorders. JAK1-dependent type 2 cytokines drive allergic inflammation and patients with JAK1 gain-of-function (GOF) variants develop atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. To explore the tissue-specific role of JAK1, we inserted a human JAK1 GOF variant into mice and observed the spontaneous development of AD-like skin inflammation but unexpected resistance to allergic lung inflammation when JAK1 GOF expression was restricted to the stroma. Further, we identified the chemical denervation of both vagal and spinal visceral afferents exacerbated allergic lung inflammation, though selective denervation of spinal visceral afferent did not change the disease severity compared to control groups. Collectively, we suggested that neuron-intrinsic JAK1 in the vagal afferents protect against allergic lung inflammation.

Project description:JAK kinases classically signal by activating STAT transcription factors, but can also regulate gene expression by epigenetically phosphorylating histone H3 on tyrosine 41 (H3Y41-P). In diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL), JAK signaling is a feature of the ABC subtype and is triggered by autocrine production of IL-6 and IL-10. Whether this signaling involves STAT activation, epigenetic modification of chromatin or both mechanisms is unknown. Here we use genetic and pharmacological inhibition to show that JAK1 signaling sustains the survival of ABC DLBCL cells. While STAT3 contributed to the survival of ABC DLBCL cell lines, forced STAT3 activity could not protect these cells from death following JAK1 inhibition, suggesting epigenetic JAK1 action. JAK1 regulated the expression of nearly 3,000 genes in ABC DLBCL cells, and the chromatin surrounding many of these genes was modified by H3Y41-P marks that were diminished by JAK1 inhibition. These JAK1 epigenetic target genes encode important regulators of ABC DLBCL proliferation and survival, including IRF4, MYD88 and MYC. A small molecule JAK1 inhibitor cooperated with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib in reducing IRF4 levels and acted synergistically to kill ABC DLBCL cells, suggesting that this combination should be evaluated in clinical trials.

Project description:The excessive and continuous activated Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway leads to the proliferation and migration of malignant cells resulting in the occurrence and development of almost all of cancers. The defined gene sets specifically activated by different STAT proteins are relied on their genomic accessibility by the interplay of certain STAT proteins with other potential cofactors. However, we have no clue about the status of human activated STAT dimers in the nucleus, as well as the intercrossing modules of synergic, supplementary or competitive relationship among each other in colorectal cancer. In current study, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) was conducted to explore the genome-scale binding signatures of STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT5A/B and STAT6 in human HCT-116 CRC cells. Moreover, STAT3 binding on genomic DNA was also investigated in HCT116 cells with NR5A2 knockdown.

Project description:Interferon-alpha (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) is used as standard-of-care therapeutic for chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Besides good cure in some patients other patients do not benefit from the treatment dependent on the virus type and host factors. One class of putative effector proteins is the family of Suppressors of cytokine signalling (SOCS). They act in a classical negative feedback-loop against the action of interferons and many other cytokines. It has been proven that some of them, in particular SOCS1 and SOCS3, inhibit the expression of interferon induced antiviral proteins. Their mode of action depends on the signal they are interfering with. In relation to the interferon-gamma pathway, they are thought to act on the interferon-alpha receptors by masking its recognition site for the Janus kinases (JAK), by blocking the kinase activity of the JAKs and coincidentally hindering STAT molecules from binding to the kinases. They are also thought to ubiquitinate the JAKs resulting in their proteosomal degradation. The function of SOCS proteins in suppressing the interferon-alpha pathway has not yet been characterized exhaustively. This study should unveil links to understand the resistance in interferon-alpha therapy. As results we got almost complete silencing of JAK-STAT signaling in SOCS1 over-expressing cells and tissue-dependent partially suppressed gene induction in SOCS3 over-expressing cell lines.

Project description:Inflammatory cytokines promote the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but the functions of specific intracellular signaling mediators in this process are less well-defined. In this study, we discovered that the Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) is critical for the early postnatal growth of the exocrine pancreas. Using a ligand-controlled and pancreas-specific knockout in adult mice, we demonstrate that JAK1 deficiency prevents the formation of KRASG12D-induced pancreatic tumors, and we established that JAK1 is essential for the constitutive activation of STAT3 whose activation is a prominent characteristic of PDAC. We identified C/EBPδ as a biologically relevant downstream target of JAK1 signaling, which is upregulated in human PDAC. Reinstating the expression of C/EBPδ was sufficient to rescue the growth of JAK1-deficient tumorspheres. Collectively, the findings of this study suggest that JAK1 executes important functions of inflammatory cytokines through C/EBPδ and may serve as a molecular target for PDAC prevention and treatment.

As results we got almost complete silencing of JAK-STAT signaling in SOCS1 over-expressing cells and tissue-dependent partially suppressed gene induction in SOCS3 over-expressing cell lines. Two human cancer cell lines (ME-15, HuH-7) were stably transfected with pcDNA3.1-SOCS plasmids in presence of geneticin and daughter cell lines were generated after singularization of cells. Next, original cell lines as well as SOCS1 and SOCS3 over-expressing cell lines were treated with 1000 U/ml interferon-alpha for 4 or 24 hours or in normal culture medium. Cells lines obtained from SOCS4 plasmid transfections were screened as additional control. Gene expression levels of cell cultured in control (0 for 4 hours, 2 for 24 hours) or interferon-alpha supplemented medium for 4 hours (1) or 24 hours (4) were analyzed. mRNA abundance was measured in triplicates using 12x8-sample commercial Illumina microarrays (HumanRef 8, version 3) and scanner system (iScan) as well as reagents recommend by Illumina (IlluminaM-BM-. TotalPrep Kit).

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.
