Project description:Apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptides are amphipathic alpha-helix peptides that display similar functions to apolipoprotein A-I. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptides in multiple indications associated with inflammatory processes. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the long-term expression of L37pA in the liver by an adeno-associated virus (AAV-L37pA) on the expression of an adeno-associated virus encoding interferon-alpha (AAV-IFNα). Long-term IFNα expression in the liver leads to lethal hematological toxicity one month after AAV administration. Concomitant administration of AAV-L37pA prevented the lethal toxicity since the IFNα expression was reduced one month after AAV administration by decreasing the expression of IFNα. To identify the mechanism of action of L37pA, a genomic and proteomic analysis was performed fifteen days after AAV administration when a similar level of IFNα and interferon-stimulated genes were observed in mice treated with AAV-IFNα alone and in mice treated with AAV-IFNα and AAV-L37pA. The coexpression of the apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptide L37pA with IFNα modulated the gene expression program of IFNα, inducing a significant reduction in inflammatory pathways affecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns receptor, dendritic cells, NK cells and Th1 immune response. The proteomic analysis confirmed the impact of the L37pA activity on several inflammatory pathways and indicated an activation of LXR/RXR and PPPARα/γ nuclear receptors. Thus, long-term expression of L37pA induces an anti-inflammatory effect in the liver that allows silencing of IFNα expression mediated by an adeno-associated virus.

Project description:Hepatic metastases are a distinctive negative prognostic hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC), thus there is an urgent need to develop new strategies aimed at reducing the risk of liver CRC colonization. Herein we demonstrate that adjuvant steady interferon-alpha (IFNα) administration, intravascularly control invading CRC cells through its direct action on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). Mechanistically, steady IFNα promotes the development of a vascular anti-metastatic niche, characterized by LSEC defenestration, extracellular matrix remodeling and glycocalyx deposition that reinforce the liver vascular barrier impairing CRC transendothelial migration. Furthermore, IFNα promotes LSEC-mediated innate and adaptive immunity, including antigen processing and presentation, that along with the early intravascular reduction of tumor burden, promote anti-tumor CD8+ T cell cross-priming and the generation of a protective long-term anti-tumor-memory response.

Project description:The study of the interferon (IFN) α-induced cell transcriptome has shown altered expression of several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). ISR8 / IRF1-AS1 (IFN stimulated RNA 8), located close to IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) coding gene, transcribes a lncRNA induced at early times after IFNα treatment or IRF1 or NF-κB activation. Depletion or overexpression of ISR8 RNA does not lead to detected deregulation of the IFN response. Surprisingly, disruption of ISR8 locus with CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing results in cells that fail to induce several key ISGs and pro-inflammatory cytokines after a trigger with IFNα or overexpression of IRF1 or the NF-κB subunit RELA. This suggests that the ISR8 locus may play a relevant role in IFNα and NF-κB pathways. Interestingly, IFNα, IRFs and NF-κB-responding luciferase reporters are normally induced in ISR8-disrupted cells when expressed from a plasmid but not when integrated into the genome. Therefore, IFNα and NF-κB pathways are functional to induce the expression of exogenous episomic transcripts but fail to activate transcription from genomic promoters. Transcription from these promoters is not restored with silencing inhibitors, by decreasing the levels of several negative regulators or by overexpression of inducers. Transcriptome analyses indicate that ISR8-disrupted cells have a drastic increase in the levels of negative regulators such as XIST and Zinc finger proteins. Our results agree with ISR8 loci being an enhancer region that is fundamental for proper antiviral and proinflammatory responses. These results are relevant because several SNPs located in the ISR8 region are associated with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases including Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis or asthma.

Project description:This dataset is part of the paper: Pegylated interferon-α regulates hepatic gene expression by transient activation of the Jak-STAT pathway; Dill MT et al; Journal of Clinical Investigation; in review Pegylated interferon-α (pegIFN-α) has replaced un-modified recombinant IFN-α for the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis because of its superior anti-viral efficacy that is generally attributed to improved pharmacokinetic properties. However, the pharmacodynamic effects of pegIFN-α in the liver have not been studied. We analyzed pegIFN-α induced signaling and gene regulation in paired liver biopsies obtained before treatment and during the first week after injection of pegIFN-α in 18 patients. Despite sustained high serum concentrations of pegIFN-α over the entire one-week dosing interval, IFN-α signaling through the Jak-STAT pathway occurs only during the first day. PegIFN-α induces hundreds of genes that can be classified into 4 clusters based on different temporal expression profiles. In all clusters, gene transcription is mainly driven by IFN stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3). IFN induced secondary transcription factors do not cause additional waves of gene expression. We could not confirm a role of un-phosphorylated STAT1 in prolonging IFN-α induced gene transcription. Collectively, our results reveal that the major effects of pegIFN-α in the liver are caused by an early and transient activation of ISGF3. Prolonging the serum half-life of IFN-α does not necessarily improve its pharmacodynamic properties. Paired liver biopsy samples were collected before and during the first week of pegylated interferon alpha treatment of 21 chronic hepatitis C patients. Total: 21 patients and 42 samples. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Robust type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) production in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) is critical for anti-viral immunity. Here we demonstrated a role for the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in regulating interferon production by pDCs. Inhibition of mTOR or the ‘downstream’ mediators of mTOR p70S6K1,2 kinases during pDC activation via Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) blocked the interaction of TLR9 with the adaptor MyD88 and the subsequent activation of interferon response factor 7 (IRF7), resulting in impaired IFN-alpha production. Microarray analysis confirmed that inhibition of mTOR by the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin suppressed anti-viral and anti-inflammatory gene expression. Consistent with this, targeting rapamycin-encapsulated microparticles to antigen-presenting cells in vivo resulted in a diminution of IFN-alpha production in response to CpG DNA or the yellow fever vaccine virus strain 17D. Thus, mTOR signaling plays a critical role in TLR-mediated IFN-alpha responses by pDCs. CpGA is a TLR9 agonist. pDCs were isolated from mouse spleen or human PBMC. The effect of rapamycin on pDCs IFN-alpha production as induced by TLR ligands was studied. The mechanism of rapamycin effect was dissected in RAW cell line.

Project description:IFN alpha mediated gene expression pattern. The effect of IFN alpha on human CD8 T cells responding to antigen (signal 1) and costimulatory signals (signal 2) provided by beads coated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAbs. This analysis examined the effects of IFN alpha on human CD8 T cells responding to antigen (signal 1) and costimulatory signals (signal 2) provided by beads coated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAbs. Magnetically sorted untouched CD8+CD45R0- T cells from three different donors were unstimulated or stimulated with IFNa2b or with anti-CD3/CD28 Beads alone or along with IFNa2b or IFNa5 for 48 hours. Individual mRNA samples were analyzed using HG-U133A 2.0 array gene chips. Keywords: Gene expression analysis after different stimulation Magnetically sorted untouched CD8+CD45R0-T cells from three different donors (named A, B and C) unstimulated or stimulated with IFN alpha 2b or with anti-CD3/CD28 beads alone or along with IFN alpha 2b or IFN alpha 5 for 48 hours.

Project description:The cellular response to interferon (IFN) is essential for antiviral immunity, IFN-based therapy and IFN-related disease. The plasma membrane (PM) provides a critical interface between the cell and its environment, and is the initial portal of entry for viruses. Nonetheless, the effect of IFN on PM proteins is surprisingly poorly understood, and has not been systematically investigated in primary immune cells. Here, we use multiplexed proteomics to quantify IFNα-stimulated PM protein changes in primary human CD14+ monocytes and CD4+ T cells from five donors, quantifying 606 and 482 PM proteins respectively. Comparison of cell surface proteomes revealed a remarkable invariance between donors in the overall composition of the cell surface from each cell type, but a marked donor-to-donor variability in the effects of IFNα. Furthermore, whereas only 2.7% of quantified proteins were consistently upregulated by IFNα at the surface of CD4+ T cells, 6.8% of proteins were consistently upregulated in primary monocytes, suggesting that the magnitude of the IFNα response varies according to cell type. Amongst these differentially regulated proteins, we found the viral target Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 (ECE1) to be an IFNα-stimulated protein exclusively upregulated at the surface of CD4+ T cells. We therefore provide a comprehensive map of the cell surface of IFNα-stimulated primary human immune cells, including previously uncharacterised interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) and candidate antiviral factors.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFN-I) exert pleiotropic biological effects during viral infections, balancing virus control versus immune-mediated pathologies and have been successfully employed for the treatment of viral diseases. Humans express twelve IFN-alpha (α) subtypes, which activate downstream signalling cascades and result in distinct patterns of immune responses and differential antiviral responses. Inborn errors in type I IFN immunity and the presence of anti- IFN autoantibodies account for very severe courses of COVID-19, therefore, early administration of type I IFNs may be protective against life-threatening disease. Here we comprehensively analysed the antiviral activity of all IFNα subtypes against SARS-CoV-2 to identify the underlying immune signatures and explore their therapeutic potential. Prophylaxis of primary human airway epithelial cells (hAEC) with different IFNα subtypes during SARS-CoV-2 infection uncovered distinct functional classes with high, intermediate and low antiviral IFNs. In particular IFNα5 showed superior antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Dose-dependency studies further displayed additive effects upon co-administered with the broad antiviral drug remdesivir in cell culture. Transcriptomics of IFN-treated hAEC revealed different transcriptional signatures, uncovering distinct, intersecting and prototypical genes of individual IFNα subtypes. Global proteomic analyses systematically assessed the abundance of specific antiviral key effector molecules which are involved in type I IFN signalling pathways, negative regulation of viral processes and immune effector processes for the potent antiviral IFNα5. Taken together, our data provide a systemic, multi-modular definition of antiviral host responses mediated by defined type I IFNs. This knowledge shall support the development of novel therapeutic approaches against SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:Certain oncolytic viruses exploit activated Ras signalling in order to replicate in cancer cells. Constitutive activation of the Ras/MEK pathway is known to suppress the effectiveness of the interferon (IFN) antiviral response, which may contribute to Ras-dependent viral oncolysis. Here, we identified 10 human cancer cell lines (out of 16) with increased sensitivity to the anti-viral effects of IFN-α after treatment with the MEK inhibitor U0126, suggesting that the Ras/MEK pathway underlies their reduced sensitivity to IFN. To determine how Ras/MEK suppresses the IFN response in these cells, we used DNA microarrays to compare IFN-induced transcription in IFN-sensitive SKOV3 cells, moderately resistant HT1080 cells, and HT1080 cells treated with U0126. We found that 267 genes were induced by IFN in SKOV3 cells, while only 98 genes were induced in HT1080 cells at the same time point. Furthermore, the expression of a distinct subset of IFN inducible genes, that included RIGI, GBP2, IFIT2, BTN3A3, MAP2, MMP7 and STAT2, was restored or increased in HT1080 cells when the cells were co-treated with U0126 and IFN. Bioinformatic analysis of the biological processes represented by these genes revealed increased representation of genes involved in the anti-viral response, regulation of apoptosis, cell differentiation and metabolism. Furthermore, introduction of constitutively active Ras into IFN sensitive SKOV3 cells reduced their IFN sensitivity and ability to activate IFN-induced transcription. This work demonstrates for the first time that activated Ras/MEK in human cancer cells induces downregulation of a specific subset of IFN-inducible genes. HT1080 cancer cells treated for 6 hours or 12 hours with interferon-alpha (500U/ml), the MEK inhibitor U0126 (20uM) or both, triplicate biological samples (18 samples). SKOV3 cells treated with interferon-alpha (500U/ml) for 6h, triplicate biological samples (6 samples).
