ABSTRACT Interferon A (IFN-A) genes are differentially expressed after virus induction. The differential expression of individual IFN-A genes is modulated by the specific transcription activators IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and IRF-7 and the homeoprotein transcription repressor Pitx1. We now show that repression by Pitx1 does not appear to be due to the recruitment of histone deacetylases. On the other hand, Pitx1 inhibits the IRF3 and IRF7 transcriptional activity of the IFN-A11 and IFN-A5 promoters and interacts physically with IRF3 and IRF7. Pitx1 trans-repression activity maps to specific C-terminal domains, and the Pitx1 homeodomain is involved in physical interaction with IRF3 or IRF7. IRF3 is able to bind to the antisilencer region of the IFN-A4 promoter, which overrides the repressive activity of Pitx1. These results indicate that interaction between the Pitx1 homeodomain and IRF3 or IRF7 and the ability of the Pitx1 C-terminal repressor domains to block IFN-A11 and IFN-A5 but not IFN-A4 promoter activities may contribute to our understanding of the complex differential transcriptional activation, repression, and antirepression of the IFN-A genes.

Persistent symptoms of depression indicate the adaptive involvement of stable molecules in the brain that may be manifested at the level of chromatin remodeling, such as histone acetylation. Former studies have identified alterations in histone acetylation and deacetylation in several animal models about depression. However, the specific histone deacetylases related with depression are needed to be explored. Here, social avoidance behaviors, anxiety-, and depression-like behaviors were all found in mice suffered from chronic social defeat stress. Moreover, we also discovered that the amount of the class II histone deacetylase, HDAC7 rather than HDAC2, was significantly decreased in the nucleus accumbens of defeated mice, which suggested that HDAC7 might be a crucial histone deacetylase in a chronic social defeat stress model. Our data showed that the depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic social defeat stress were associated with HDAC7 reduction in nucleus accumbens. HDAC7 might be a promising therapeutic target for depression.
