IFN-gamma is an important immunoregulatory protein with tightly controlled expression in activated T and NK cells. Three potential STAT binding regions have been recognized within the IFN-gamma promoter: 1) an IL-12-mediated STAT4 binding site at -236 bp; 2) a newly identified IL-2-induced STAT5 binding element at -3.6 kb; and 3) CD2-mediated STAT1 and STAT4 binding to an intronic element in mucosal T cells. However, functional activation of these sites remains unclear. In this study we demonstrate CD2-mediated activation of the newly characterized -3.6-kb IFN-gamma STAT5 binding region. CD2 signaling of human PBMC results in activation of the -3.6-kb IFN-gamma promoter, whereas mutation of the -3.6-kb STAT5 site attenuates promoter activity. Functional activation is accompanied by STAT5A but little STAT5B nucleoprotein binding to the IFN-gamma STAT5 site, as determined by competition and supershift assays. STAT5 activation via CD2 occurs independent of IL-2. Western and FACS analysis shows increased phospho-STAT5 following CD2 signaling. AG490, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor affecting Jak proteins, inhibits CD2-mediated IFN-gamma mRNA expression, secretion, and nucleoprotein binding to the IFN-gamma STAT5 site in a dose-dependent fashion. This report is the first to describe CD2-mediated activation of STAT5 and supports STAT5 involvement in regulation of IFN-gamma expression. 相似文献

Hematopoietic progenitor cells from Fanconi anemia (FA) group C (FA-C) patients display hypersensitivity to the apoptotic effects of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and constitutively express a variety of IFN-dependent genes. Paradoxically, however, STAT1 activation is suppressed in IFN-stimulated FA cells, an abnormality corrected by transduction of normal FANCC cDNA. We therefore sought to define the specific role of FANCC protein in signal transduction through receptors that activate STAT1. Expression and phosphorylation of IFN-gamma receptor alpha chain (IFN-gammaRalpha) and JAK1 and JAK2 tyrosine kinases were equivalent in both normal and FA-C cells. However, in coimmunoprecipitation experiments STAT1 did not dock at the IFN-gammaR of FA-C cells, an abnormality corrected by transduction of the FANCC gene. In addition, glutathione S-transferase fusion genes encoding normal FANCC but not a mutant FANCC bearing an inactivating point mutation (L554P) bound to STAT1 in lysates of IFN-gamma-stimulated B cells and IFN-, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor- and stem cell factor-stimulated MO7e cells. Kinetic studies revealed that the initial binding of FANCC was to nonphosphorylated STAT1 but that subsequently the complex moved to the receptor docking site, at which point STAT1 became phosphorylated. The STAT1 phosphorylation defect in FA-C cells was functionally significant in that IFN induction of IFN response factor 1 was suppressed and STAT1-DNA complexes were not detected in nuclear extracts of FA-C cells. We also determined that the IFN-gamma hypersensitivity of FA-C hematopoietic progenitor cells does not derive from STAT1 activation defects because granulocyte-macrophage CFU and erythroid burst-forming units from STAT1(-/-) mice were resistant to IFN-gamma. However, BFU-E responses to SCF and erythropoietin were suppressed in STAT(-/-) mice. Consequently, because the FANCC protein is involved in the activation of STAT1 through receptors for at least three hematopoietic growth and survival factor molecules, we reason that FA-C hematopoietic cells are excessively apoptotic because of an imbalance between survival cues (owing to a failure of STAT1 activation in FA-C cells) and apoptotic and mitogenic inhibitory cues (constitutively activated in FA-C cells in a STAT1-independent fashion). 相似文献

Humans and mice have evolved distinct pathways for Th1 cell development. Although IL-12 promotes CD4(+) Th1 development in both murine and human T cells, IFN-alphabeta drives Th1 development only in human cells. This IFN-alphabeta-dependent pathway is not conserved in the mouse species due in part to a specific mutation within murine Stat2. Restoration of this pathway in murine T cells would provide the opportunity to more closely model specific human disease states that rely on CD4(+) T cell responses to IFN-alphabeta. To this end, the C terminus of murine Stat2, harboring the mutation, was replaced with the corresponding human Stat2 sequence by a knockin targeting strategy within murine embryonic stem cells. Chimeric m/h Stat2 knockin mice were healthy, bred normally, and exhibited a normal lymphoid compartment. Furthermore, the murine/human STAT2 protein was expressed in murine CD4(+) T cells and was activated by murine IFN-alpha signaling. However, the murine/human STAT2 protein was insufficient to restore full IFN-alpha-driven Th1 development as defined by IFN-gamma expression. Furthermore, IL-12, but not IFN-alpha, promoted acute IFN-gamma secretion in collaboration with IL-18 stimulation in both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. The inability of T cells to commit to Th1 development correlated with the lack of STAT4 phosphorylation in response to IFN-alpha. This finding suggests that, although the C terminus of human STAT2 is required for STAT4 recruitment and activation by the human type I IFNAR (IFN-alphabetaR), it is not sufficient to restore this process through the murine IFNAR complex. 相似文献

An indispensable role for STAT1 in IL-27-induced T-bet expression but not proliferation of naive CD4+ T cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

IL-27 is a novel IL-12 family member that plays a role in the early regulation of Th1 initiation, induces proliferation of naive CD4+ T cells, and synergizes with IL-12 in IFN-gamma production. It has been recently reported that IL-27 induces T-bet and IL-12Rbeta2 expression through JAK1/STAT1 activation. In the present study, we further investigated the JAK/STAT signaling molecules activated by IL-27 and also the role of STAT1 in IL-27-mediated responses using STAT1-deficient mice. In addition to JAK1 and STAT1, IL-27-activated JAK2, tyrosine kinase-2, and STAT2, -3, and -5 in naive CD4+ T cells. The activation of STAT2 and STAT5, but not of STAT3, was greatly diminished in STAT1-deficient naive CD4+ T cells. Comparable proliferative response to IL-27 was observed between STAT1-deficient and wild-type naive CD4+ T cells. In contrast, IL-27 hardly induced T-bet and subsequent IL-12Rbeta2 expression, and synergistic IFN-gamma production by IL-27 and IL-12 was impaired in STAT1-deficient naive CD4+ T cells. Moreover, IL-27 augmented the expression of MHC class I on naive CD4+ T cells in a STAT1-dependent manner. These results suggest that IL-27 activates JAK1 and -2, tyrosine kinase-2, STAT1, -2, -3, and -5 in naive CD4+ T cells and that STAT1 plays an indispensable role in IL-27-induced T-bet and subsequent IL-12Rbeta2 expression and MHC class I expression as well but not proliferation, while STAT3 presumably plays an important role in IL-27-induced proliferation. 相似文献

Linkage between alpha(1) adrenergic receptor and the Jak/STAT signaling pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The Jak/STAT pathway is activated following stimulation of the type I angiotensin II receptor. To examine whether this pathway is shared among other G-protein-coupled receptors, we studied the linkage between the alpha(1) adrenergic receptor and this pathway. The alpha(1) agonist phenylephrine induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak2, Tyk2, and STAT1 in vascular smooth muscle cells. The phosphorylation of Jak2 was prevented by the alpha(1) receptor antagonists prazosin and chloroethylclonidine, but not by WB4101, and that of STAT1 was inhibited by prazosin and the Jak2 inhibitor AG490. After stimulation with phenylephrine, Jak2 and STAT1 were found to associate with alpha(1B) receptor. Phenylephrine stimulated the DNA binding activity of STAT1. Protein synthesis promoted by phenylephrine was inhibited by prazosin, AG490, and the introduction of a decoy oligonucleotide for STAT1. These results suggested that alpha(1) receptor is linked to the Jak/STAT pathway and that this pathway mediates alpha(1) agonist-induced smooth muscle hypertrophy. 相似文献

Crry/p65, a membrane complement regulatory protein, has costimulatory properties on mouse T cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Fernández-Centeno E de Ojeda G Rojo JM Portolés P 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2000,164(9):4533-4542
It is known that certain type I membrane molecules (complement receptors type 1 and 2) belonging to the regulators of complement activation (RCA) family are involved in the regulation of B lymphocyte activation. In contrast, only GPI-anchored RCA molecules (CD55) have been described to be involved in T lymphocyte activation. In this study, we describe a novel function for the mouse RCA type I membrane protein Crry/p65 as a costimulatory molecule in CD4+ T cell activation. This is shown by increased anti-CD3-induced proliferation of CD4+ spleen T lymphocytes in the presence of the Crry/p65-specific mAb P3D2. Furthermore, Ab-induced coligation of Crry/p65 and CD3 favors IL-4 rather than IFN-gamma secretion in these cells. Crry/p65 signaling was also observed regardless of additional Ca2+, protein kinase C, or CD28-mediated costimuli. Analysis of intracellular intermediaries shows that Crry/p65-CD3 coligation enhances certain TCR/CD3-mediated signals, producing increased early tyrosine phosphorylation of many substrates and enhanced activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase, extracellular signal-related kinase. These data fit well with the association of Crry/p65 with the tyrosine kinase Lck found in T cell lysates. The epitope recognized by the mAb P3D2 interferes with the protective role of Crry/p65 on C3 deposition. The relationship between protective function and costimulation by Crry/p65 is discussed. Our results support a multifunctional role for Crry/p65 in T cells and suggest new links between the natural and adaptive immune responses. 相似文献

Interferon (IFN)-gamma is one of the most important microglia stimulators in vivo participating in inflammation and Th1 activation/differentiation. IFN-gamma-mediated signaling involves the activation of the Jak/STAT1 pathway. The neuropeptides vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and the pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) are two potent microglia-deactivating factors that inhibit the production of proinflammatory mediators in vitro and in vivo. The present study investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the VIP/PACAP regulation of several IFN-gamma-induced microglia-derived factors, including IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS), and CD40. The results indicate that VIP/PACAP inhibit Jak1-2 and STAT1 phosphorylation, and the binding of activated STAT1 to the IFN-gamma activated site motif in the IFN regulatory factor-1 and CD40 promoter and to the IFN-stimulated response element motif of the IP-10 promoter. Through its effect in the IFN-gamma-induced Jak/STAT1 pathway, VIP and PACAP are able to control the gene expression of IP-10, CD40, and iNOS, three microglia-derived mediators that play an essential role in several pathologies, i.e. inflammation and autoimmune disorders. The effects of VIP/PACAP are mediated through the specific receptor VPAC1 and the cAMP/protein kinase A transduction pathway. Because IFN-gamma is a major stimulator of innate and adaptive immune responses in vivo, the down-regulation of IFN-gamma-induced gene expression by VIP and PACAP could represent a significant element in the regulation of the inflammatory response in the central nervous system by endogenous neuropeptides. 相似文献

The Fanconi anemia (FA) complementation group C gene product (FANCC) functions to protect hematopoietic cells from cytotoxicity induced by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Because apoptotic responses of mutant FA-C cells involve activation of interferon-inducible, dsRNA-dependent protein kinase PKR, we sought to identify FANCC-binding cofactors that may modulate PKR activation. We identified the molecular chaperone Hsp70 as an interacting partner of FANCC in lymphoblasts and HeLa cells using 'pull-down' and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. In vitro binding assays showed that the association of FANCC and Hsp70 involves the ATPase domain of Hsp70 and the central 320 residues of FANCC, and that both Hsp40 and ATP/ADP are required. In whole cells, Hsp70-FANCC binding and protection from IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity were blocked by alanine mutations located in a conserved motif within the Hsp70-interacting domain of FANCC. We therefore conclude that FANCC acts in concert with Hsp70 to prevent apoptosis in hematopoietic cells exposed to IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. 相似文献

IFN-alpha is not sufficient to drive Th1 development due to lack of stable T-bet expression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ramos HJ Davis AM George TC Farrar JD 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2007,179(6):3792-3803
During inflammatory immune responses, the innate cytokine IL-12 promotes CD4+ Th-1 development through the activation of the second messenger STAT4 and the subsequent expression of T-bet. In addition, type I IFN (IFN-alphabeta), secreted primarily during viral and intracellular bacterial infections, can promote STAT4 activation in human CD4+ T cells. However, the role of IFN-alphabeta in regulating Th1 development is controversial, and previous studies have suggested a species-specific pathway leading to Th1 development in human but not mouse CD4+ T cells. In this study, we found that although both IFN-alpha and IL-12 can promote STAT4 activation, IFN-alpha failed to promote Th1 commitment in human CD4+ T cells. The difference between these innate signaling pathways lies with the ability of IL-12 to promote sustained STAT4 tyrosine phosphorylation, which correlated with stable T-bet expression in committed Th1 cells. IFN-alpha did not promote Th1 development in human CD4+ T cells because of attenuated STAT4 phosphorylation, which was insufficient to induce stable expression of T-bet. Further, the defect in IFN-alpha-driven Th1 development was corrected by ectopic expression of T-bet within primary naive human CD4+ T cells. These results indicate that IL-12 remains unique in its ability to drive Th1 development in human CD4+ T cells and that IFN-alpha lacks this activity due to its inability to promote sustained T-bet expression. 相似文献

Cadmium is an environmental contaminant producing numerous pathological effects including neurological disorders. The mechanisms through which cadmium produces neurotoxicities are not completely known. We found that divalent cadmium (CdCl2) inhibited ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)-mediated Jak1 and Jak2 tyrosine kinase signaling in human BE(2)-C neuroblastoma cells. CdCl2 concentrations as low as 0.1 microM and for times as brief as 2 h significantly reduced CNTF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of both STAT1 and STAT3, the principle substrates of Jak kinases in neurons. The phosphorylation of STAT1 by interferon-gamma was also inhibited by CdCl2. However, activation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase was not inhibited by CdCl2. Jak/STAT signaling was inhibited by CdCl2 selectively in cultures of chick retina neurons and neuroblastoma cells, whereas signaling in the nonneuronal cells HepG2 and chick skeletal myotubes was not affected. Results using dichlorofluorescein indicated CdCl2 increased cellular oxidative stress, and all of these effects of CdCl2 were protected against by pretreatment with antioxidants. Neuronal inhibition of Jak kinase by CdCl2-induced oxidative stress is a new mechanism of cadmium action which may directly produce neurotoxic symptoms as well as implicate cadmium and related metals as environmental factors in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases. 相似文献

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside with immunosuppressive activity that acts through cell surface receptors (A(1), A(2a), A(2b), A(3)) on responsive cells such as T lymphocytes. IL-2 is a major T cell growth and survival factor that is responsible for inducing Jak1, Jak3, and STAT5 phosphorylation, as well as causing STAT5 to translocate to the nucleus and bind regulatory elements in the genome. In this study, we show that adenosine suppressed IL-2-dependent proliferation of CTLL-2 T cells by inhibiting STAT5a/b tyrosine phosphorylation that is associated with IL-2R signaling without affecting IL-2-induced phosphorylation of Jak1 or Jak3. The inhibitory effect of adenosine on IL-2-induced STAT5a/b tyrosine phosphorylation was reversed by the protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors sodium orthovanadate and bpV(phen). Adenosine dramatically increased Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-2 (SHP-2) tyrosine phosphorylation and its association with STAT5 in IL-2-stimulated CTLL-2 T cells, implicating SHP-2 in adenosine-induced STAT5a/b dephosphorylation. The inhibitory effect of adenosine on IL-2-induced STAT5a/b tyrosine phosphorylation was reproduced by A(2) receptor agonists and was blocked by selective A(2a) and A(2b) receptor antagonists, indicating that adenosine was mediating its effect through A(2) receptors. Inhibition of STAT5a/b phosphorylation was reproduced with cell-permeable 8-bromo-cAMP or forskolin-induced activation of adenylyl cyclase, and blocked by the cAMP/protein kinase A inhibitor Rp-cAMP. Forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP also induced SHP-2 tyrosine phosphorylation. Collectively, these findings suggest that adenosine acts through A(2) receptors and associated cAMP/protein kinase A-dependent signaling pathways to activate SHP-2 and cause STAT5 dephosphorylation that results in reduced IL-2R signaling in T cells. 相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated that Leishmania donovani attenuates STAT1-mediated signaling in macrophages; however it is not clear whether other species of Leishmania, which cause cutaneous disease, also interfere with macrophage IFN-gamma signaling. Therefore, we determined the effect of Leishmania major and Leishmania mexicana infection on STAT1-mediated IFN-gamma signaling pathway in J774A.1 and RAW264.7 macrophages. We found that both L. major and L. mexicana suppressed IFNgammaRalpha (alpha subunit of interferon gamma receptor) and IFN-gammaRbeta (beta subunit of interferon gamma receptor) expression, reduced levels of total Jak1 and Jak2, and down-regulated IFN-gamma-induced Jak1, Jak2 and STAT1 activation. The effect of L. mexicana infection on Jak1, Jak2 and STAT1 activation was more profound when compared with L. major. Although tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1alpha was decreased in IFN-gamma stimulated macrophages infected with L. major or L. mexicana, those infected with L. mexicana showed a significant increase in phosphorylation of the dominant negative STAT1beta. These findings indicate that L. major and L. mexicana attenuate STAT1-mediated IFN-gamma signaling in macrophages. Furthermore, they also demonstrate that L. mexicana preferentially enhances tyrosine phosphorylation of dominant negative STAT1beta, which may be one of the several survival mechanisms used by this parasite to evade the host defense mechanisms. 相似文献
