Interferon Regulatory Factor 4

In lymphocytes, the Rel transcription factor is essential in establishing a pattern of gene expression that promotes cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Here we show that mitogen-induced expression of interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4), a lymphoid-specific member of the IFN family of transcription factors, is Rel dependent. Consistent with IRF-4 functioning as a repressor of IFN-induced gene expression, the absence of IRF-4 expression in c-rel−/− B cells coincided with a greater sensitivity of these cells to the antiproliferative activity of IFNs. In turn, enforced expression of an IRF-4 transgene restored IFN modulated c-rel−/− B cell proliferation to that of wild-type cells. This cross-regulation between two different signaling pathways represents a novel mechanism that Rel/nuclear factor κB can repress the transcription of IFN-regulated genes in a cell type–specific manner.

ABSTRACT Gammaherpesviruses are important pathogens whose lifelong survival in the host depends critically on their capacity to establish and reactivate from latency, processes regulated by both viral genes and the host immune response. Previous work has demonstrated that gamma interferon (IFN-γ) is a key regulator of chronic infection with murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (γHV68), a virus that establishes latent infection in B lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. In mice deficient in IFN-γ or the IFN-γ receptor, γHV68 gene expression is altered during chronic infection, and peritoneal cells explanted from these mice reactivate more efficiently ex vivo than cells derived from wild-type mice. Furthermore, treatment with IFN-γ inhibits reactivation of γHV68 from latently infected wild-type peritoneal cells, and depletion of IFN-γ from wild-type mice increases the efficiency of reactivation of explanted peritoneal cells. These profound effects of IFN-γ on chronic γHV68 latency and reactivation raise the question of which cells respond to IFN-γ to control chronic γHV68 infection. Here, we show that IFN-γ inhibited reactivation of peritoneal cells and spleen cells harvested from mice lacking B lymphocytes, but not wild-type spleen cells, suggesting that IFN-γ may inhibit reactivation in a cell type-specific manner. To directly test this hypothesis, we expressed the diphtheria toxin receptor specifically on either B lymphocytes or macrophages and used diphtheria toxin treatment to deplete these specific cells in vivo and in vitro after establishing latency. We demonstrate that macrophages, but not B cells, are responsive to IFN-γ-mediated suppression of γHV68 reactivation. These data indicate that the regulation of gammaherpesvirus latency by IFN-γ is cell type specific and raise the possibility that cell type-specific immune deficiency may alter latency in distinct and important ways.

Stimulation Of

Gastrin (G17) has a CCKBreceptor-mediated growth-promoting effect on the AR42J rat acinar cell line that is linked to induction of both mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and c- fos gene expression. We investigated the mechanisms that regulate the growth factor action of G17 on the rat pituitary adenoma cell line GH3. Both AR42J and GH3cells displayed equal levels of CCKBreceptor expression and similar binding kinetics of125I-labeled G17. G17 stimulation of cell proliferation was identical in both cell lines. G17 stimulation of GH3cell proliferation was completely blocked by the CCKBreceptor antagonist D2 but not by the MEK inhibitor PD-98059 or the protein kinase C inhibitor GF-109203X, which completely inhibited G17 induction of AR42J cell proliferation. G17 induced a c- fos SRE-luciferase reporter gene plasmid more than fourfold in the AR42J cells, whereas it had no effect in the GH3cells. In contrast to what we observed in the AR42J cells, G17 failed to stimulate MAPK activation and Shc tyrosyl phosphorylation and association with the adapter protein Grb2. Epidermal growth factor induced the MAPK pathway in the GH3cells, demonstrating the integrity of this signaling system. G17 induced Ca2+mobilization in both the GH3and AR42J cells. The calmodulin inhibitor N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide inhibited AR42J cell proliferation by 20%, whereas it completely blocked G17 induction of GH3cell growth. The Ca2+ionophore ionomycin stimulated GH3cell proliferation to a level similar to that observed in response to G17, but it had no effect on AR42J cell proliferation. Thus there are cell type specific differences in the requirement of the MAPK pathway for the growth factor action of G17. Whereas in the AR42J cells G17 stimulates cell growth through activation of MAPK and c- fos gene expression, in the GH3cells, G17 fails to activate MAPK, and it induces cell proliferation through Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways. Furthermore, induction of Ca2+mobilization in the AR42J cells appears not to be sufficient to sustain cell proliferation.

Abstract CoREST has been identified as a subunit of several protein complexes that generate transcriptionally repressive chromatin structures during development. However, a comprehensive analysis of the CoREST interactome has not been carried out. We use proteomic approaches to define the interactomes of two dCoREST isoforms, dCoREST-L and dCoREST-M, in Drosophila. We identify three distinct histone deacetylase complexes built around a common dCoREST/dRPD3 core: A dLSD1/dCoREST complex, the LINT complex and a dG9a/dCoREST complex. The latter two complexes can incorporate both dCoREST isoforms. By contrast, the dLSD1/dCoREST complex exclusively assembles with the dCoREST-L isoform. Genome-wide studies show that the three dCoREST complexes associate with chromatin predominantly at promoters. Transcriptome analyses in S2 cells and testes reveal that different cell lineages utilize distinct dCoREST complexes to maintain cell-type-specific gene expression programmes: In macrophage-like S2 cells, LINT represses germ line-related genes whereas other dCoREST complexes are largely dispensable. By contrast, in testes, the dLSD1/dCoREST complex prevents transcription of germ line-inappropriate genes and is essential for spermatogenesis and fertility, whereas depletion of other dCoREST complexes has no effect. Our study uncovers three distinct dCoREST complexes that function in a lineage-restricted fashion to repress specific sets of genes thereby maintaining cell-type-specific gene expression programmes.

AbstractEpigenetic regulation of gene expression occurs in a cell type-specific manner. Current cell-type specific neuroepigenetic studies rely on cell sorting methods that can alter cell phenotype and introduce potential confounds. Here we demonstrate and validate a Nuclear Tagging and Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (NuTRAP) approach for temporally controlled labeling and isolation of ribosomes and nuclei, and thus RNA and DNA, from specific central nervous system cell types. Analysis of gene expression and DNA modifications in astrocytes or microglia from the same animal demonstrates differential usage of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation in CpG and non-CpG contexts that corresponds to cell type-specific gene expression. Application of this approach in LPS treated mice uncovers microglia-specific transcriptome and epigenome changes in inflammatory pathways that cannot be detected with tissue-level analysis. The NuTRAP model and the validation approaches presented can be applied to any brain cell type for which a cell type-specific cre is available.
