Project description:BackgroundSTAT1 and IRF1 collaborate to induce interferon-γ (IFNγ) stimulated genes (ISGs), but the extent to which they act alone or together is unclear. The effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on in vivo binding is also largely unknown.ResultsWe show that IRF1 binds at proximal or distant ISG sites twice as often as STAT1, increasing to sixfold at the MHC class I locus. STAT1 almost always bound with IRF1, while most IRF1 binding events were isolated. Dual binding sites at remote or proximal enhancers distinguished ISGs that were responsive to IFNγ versus cell-specific resistant ISGs, which showed fewer and mainly single binding events. Surprisingly, inducibility in one cell type predicted ISG-responsiveness in other cells. Several dbSNPs overlapped with STAT1 and IRF1 binding motifs, and we developed methodology to rapidly assess their effects. We show that in silico prediction of SNP effects accurately reflects altered binding both in vitro and in vivo.ConclusionsThese data reveal broad cooperation between STAT1 and IRF1, explain cell type specific differences in ISG-responsiveness, and identify genetic variants that may participate in the pathogenesis of immune disorders.

Project description:STAT1 and IRF1 transcription factor enrichment by CUT&RUN. HeLa cells were primed with IFNγ for 24 hours, followed with IFNγ washout. After 48h, naïve and primed cells were induced by IFNγ for 1h and 3h. Cells were harvested at indicated time points and processed for CUT&RUN
Project description:IRF1, and interferon-induced transcription factor, was found to have antiviral activity against a range of viruses when overexpressed. To determine which genes are associated with expression of IRF1, gene expression analysis was carried out in two different cell line expressing IRF1. The results show that more than 100 genes, many of which overlap with type I interferon-stimulated genes, are induced more than 3-fold by IRF1. A majority of the genes were induced in both cell types, while some genes were highly induced in a cell type-specific manner. To investigate the impact of IRF1 overexpression on the transriptome of two target cell lines, cells were transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing IRF1 or Firefly luciferase (Fluc) as a control. Total mRNA was harvested 48 h post-transduction and processed for Illumina BeadArray analysis.

Project description:IRF8 and IRF1 are transcriptional regulators that play critical roles in the development and function of myeloid cells, including activation of macrophages by pro-inflammatory signals such as interferon gamma. Loss of IRF8 or IRF1 function causes severe susceptibility to infections in mice and in humans. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and RNA sequencing in wild type, and in IRF8 and IRF1 mutant primary macrophages to systematically catalog all the genes bound by (cistromes) and transcriptionally activated (regulomes) by IRF8, IRF1, PU.1 and STAT1 including modulation of epigenetic histone marks. Of seven binding combinations identified, two (cluster 1: IRF8/IRF1/STAT1/PU.1; cluster 5: IRF1/STAT1/PU.1) were found to have a major role in controlling macrophage transcriptional programs both at basal level and following IFNγ activation. They direct expression of a set of genes, the IRF8/IRF1 regulome, that play critical roles in host inflammatory and anti-microbial defenses in mouse models of neuroinflammation and of pulmonary tuberculosis, respectively. In addition, this IRF8/IRF1 regulome is enriched for genes mutated in human primary immuno-deficiencies, and with loci associated for several inflammatory diseases in humans.
