Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) are essential for anti-viral immunity, but often impair protective immune responses during bacterial infections. An important question is how type I IFNs are strongly induced during viral infections, and yet are appropriately restrained during bacterial infections. The Super susceptibility to tuberculosis 1 (Sst1) locus in mice confers resistance to diverse bacterial infections. Here we provide evidence that Sp140 is a gene encoded within the Sst1 locus that represses type I IFN transcription during bacterial infections. We generated Sp140–/– mice and find they are susceptible to infection by Legionella pneumophila and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Susceptibility of Sp140–/– mice to bacterial infection was rescued by crosses to mice lacking the type I IFN receptor (Ifnar–/–). Our results implicate Sp140 as an important repressor of type I IFNs that is essential for resistance to bacterial infections.

We generated Sp140-/- mice and found that they are susceptible to infection by Legionella pneumophila and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Susceptibility of Sp140-/- mice to bacterial infection was rescued by crosses to mice lacking the type I IFN receptor (Ifnar-/-). Our results implicate Sp140 as an important negative regulator of type I IFNs that is essential for resistance to bacterial infections.

Project description:Negative regulation of the antiviral cytokine IFN-I is critical to prevent host pathology, but is not fully understood. The highly conserved but understudied epigenetic reader and nuclear body protein SP140 represses IFN-I by an unknown mechanism. We describe the mechanism by which SP140 negatively regulates IFN-I, and include CUT&RUN data in this dataset. We performed anti-HA CUT&RUN on SP140KO macrophages transduced with HA-tagged or untagged SP140. We found that SP140 represses the expression of a novel positive regulator of IFN-I previously annotated as an annexin II receptor, which we rename RESIST (REgulated Stimulator of IFN-I via Stabilization of Transcript). RESIST promotes IFN-I mRNA stability by binding the CCR4-NOT mRNA deadenylase complex and blocking recruitment of the TTP family of RNA-binding proteins, which negatively regulate IFN-I mRNA stability, to CCR4-NOT. Mechanistically, RESIST uses N and C-terminal alpha-helices respectively to either dock to the CCR4-NOT complex or block TTP family binding. We also find SP140 does not bind the Ifnb1 gene itself. Consistent with previous results, SP140 binds genes involved in embryonic development. Our work reveals a new regulator of IFN-I and a new mechanism regulating IFN-I mRNA stability.

Project description:RNAseq analysis of human lung slices after treatment with different interferons. Results: Differentially expressed genes were observed after treatment with different interferons. Methods: Tumor-free human lung explants were obtained from patients undergoing lung surgery at the University Hospital Muenster on the day of surgery. Tissue blocks were individually placed in a 12-well plate in RPMI medium. Tissues were treated with different interferons. RNA was prepared from tissue homogenates.

Project description:Speckled Protein 140 (SP140) is a chromatin reader with critical roles regulating immune cell transcriptional programs, and SP140 splice variants are associated with immune diseases including Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. SP140 expression is currently thought to be restricted to immune cells. However, by analyzing human transcriptomic datasets from a wide range of normal and cancer cell types, we found recurrent cancer-specific expression of SP140, driven by an alternative intronic promoter derived from an intronic endogenous retrovirus (ERV). The ERV belongs to the primate-specific LTR8B family. The ERV drives expression of multiple cancer-specific isoforms, including a nearly full-length isoform that retains all the functional domains of the full-length canonical isoform and is also localized within the nucleus, consistent with a role in chromatin regulation. In a fibrosarcoma cell line, silencing the cancer-specific ERV promoter of SP140 resulted in increased sensitivity to interferon-mediated cytotoxicity and dysregulation of multiple genes. Our findings implicate aberrant ERV-mediated SP140 expression as a novel mechanism contributing to immune gene dysregulation in a wide range of cancer cells.
