Project description:The transcription factor STAT1 is essential for interferon- (IFN) mediated protective immunity in humans and mice. Two splice isoforms of STAT1, STAT1M-NM-1 and STAT1M-NM-2, differ with regard to a C-terminal transactivation domain, which is absent in STAT1M-NM-2. Dimers of STAT1M-NM-2 are therefore considered transcriptionally inactive and potential competitive inhibitors of STAT1M-NM-1. Contrasting this view, generation and analysis of mice deficient for either STAT1M-NM-1 or STAT1M-NM-2 demonstrated transcriptional activity of the STAT1M-NM-2 isoform and its enhancement of innate immunity. Gene expression profiling in primary cells revealed overlapping, but also non-redundant and gene-specific activities of STAT1M-NM-1 and STAT1M-NM-2 in response to IFNM-NM-3. Consistently, both isoforms mediated protective, IFNM-NM-3-dependent immunity against the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, although with remarkably different efficiency. In contrast, STAT1M-NM-1 and STAT1M-NM-2 were largely redundant for transcriptional responses to IFNM-NM-1/M-NM-2 and for IFNM-NM-1/M-NM-2-dependent antiviral activity. Collectively, our data shed new light on how STAT1 isoforms contribute to antimicrobial immunity. We treated macrophages of Stat1 delta alpha and Stat1 delta beta isoforms as well as Stat1 KO and Stat1 Wt mice with IFN gamma and Listeria to reveal differences in gene expression between isoforms and the two control genotypes.

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a disease of large and medium-sized muscular arteries and is characterized by vascular inflammation and lipid-laden plaque formation within the intima of the vessel wall. Atherosclerosis is initiated by recruitment of blood leukocytes to the injured vascular endothelium and leads to altered contractility of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMCs), acute and chronic luminal obstruction, abnormalities of blood flow and diminished oxygen supply to target organs. The pro-inflammatory pathways activated by Toll-like Receptors (TLRs), and Interferons (IFNs) have been identified as key components of atherogenesis. These pathways culminate in the activation of Signal Transducers and Activator of Transcription (STAT)1-containing complexes ISGF3 and GAF, and Nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) that coordinate expression of multiple chemokines, adhesion molecules, antiviral and antimicrobial proteins in vascular and immune cells. IFN-I and IFN-II participate in signaling cross-talk with TLR4 through combinatorial actions of ISGF3 and GAF with NF-kB leading to enhanced gene expression. Currently it is not clear how this signal integration is regulated at the genome-wide level and if similar mechanisms are activated by the different IFNs in vascular cells as compared to macrophages and dendritic cells. Therefore, we compared genome-wide transcriptional responses of mouse VSMCs, macrophages (BMDMs) and dendritic cells (DCs) in response to IFNα, IFNγ or LPS alone, or after combined treatment using RNA-seq. Consequently, commonly up-regulated genes in VSMCs, BMDMs and DCs could be identified after combined treatment with IFNα+LPS, as well as after combined treatment with IFNγ+LPS. Generally, in all three cell-types combined treatment with IFNα+LPS or IFNγ+LPS resulted in a synergistic increase in gene expression as compared to single treatments. Also, significant functional overlap could be observed between commonly upregulated genes in response to IFNα+LPS and IFNγ+LPS. Using ChIP-seq on chromatin from VSMCs, STAT1 and p65 bound IFNα+LPS and IFNγ+LPS up-regulated genes were identified, containing GAF/GAS, ISGF3/ISRE or NF-kB binding motifs located in promoter regions, but also to up- and downstream genomic regions. Comparing IFNα+LPS and IFNγ+LPS commonly upregulated genes identified a substantial overlap of ISRE-containing genes. Interestingly, STAT1 as part of ISGF3 was shown to bind the promoter of these ISRE-containing genes in response to IFNα as well as IFNγ. Moreover, different binding modes of STAT1-p65 co-binding were detected, including GAS-NFκB, ISRE-NFκB or GAS-ISRE-NFκB, shared by IFNα+LPS and IFNγ+LPS up-regulated genes. This cooperative involvement involved a STAT1-dependent role in the nearby recruitment of p65 already upon single IFNα or IFNγ treatment, via closely located GAS-NFĸB or ISRE-NFĸB binding sites in promoter regions. More important, this STAT1-p65 co-binding was significantly increased upon subsequent LPS exposure and resulted in amplified transcriptional activity of IFNα+LPS and IFNγ+LPS upregulated genes.

Project description:Maintenance of the blood system is dependent on dormant haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with long-term self-renewal capacity. Upon injury these cells are induced to proliferate in order to quickly re-establish homeostasis. The signalling molecules promoting the exit of HSCs out of the dormant stage remain largely unknown. Here we show that in response to treatment of mice with interferon-alpha (IFNα), HSCs efficiently exit G0 and enter an active cell cycle. HSCs respond to IFNα treatment by increased phosphorylation of STAT1 and PKB/Akt, expression of IFNα target genes and up-regulation of stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1). HSCs lacking either the interferon-α/β receptor (IFNAR), STAT1 or Sca-1 are insensitive to IFNα stimulation, demonstrating that STAT1 and Sca-1 mediate IFNα induced HSC proliferation. Although dormant HSCs are resistant to the anti-proliferative chemotherapeutic agent 5-FU1, HSCs pre-treated (primed) with IFNα and thus induced to proliferate are efficiently eliminated by 5-FU exposure in vivo. Conversely, HSCs chronically activated by IFNα are functionally compromised and are rapidly out competed by non-activatable IFNAR-/- cells in competitive repopulation assays. In summary, while chronic activation of the IFNα pathway in HSCs impairs their function, acute IFNα treatment promotes the proliferation of dormant HSCs in vivo. These data may help to clarify the so far unexplained clinical effects of IFNα on leukemic cells and raise the possibility for novel applications of type I interferons to target cancer stem cells. cDNA microarray analysis was performed on sorted Lin neg, cKit+, CD150+, CD48neg HSCs from IFNα treated (16h after treatment) and untreated (littermate) mice. Per condition 3 independent biological replicates were analysed.

Project description:A key determinant of the pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages is the Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) family member, STAT1α. STAT1α activation by interferon-gamma (IFNγ) leads to induction of a transcriptional program that is coordinated in a large part by post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerases (PARPs), which include PARP-1, catalyze the addition of ADP-ribose moieties (ADP-ribosylation) to target proteins and modulate their function. We found that PARP-1 mediates IFNγ-stimulated transcription by regulating genome-wide binding of STAT1α and its IFNγ-dependent phosphorylation. We identified STAT1α as a target of PARP-1 and found sites of ADP-ribosylation on its DNA-binding (DBD) and Transcription Activation (TA) domains. Surprisingly, ADP-ribosylation on the DBD and TA domains had distinct functional consequences on STAT1α transcriptional activity. Moreover, loss of ADP-ribosylation on either site led to diminished pro-inflammatory responses. These results suggest that PARP-1-driven ADP-ribosylation of STAT1α is a critical mediator of inflammation in macrophages.
