Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) signaling pathways are important for both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, the cross-talk between these two signaling pathways is incompletely understood. Here we show that IFN-gamma and LPS synergistically induce the expression of proinflammatory factors, including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-12, NO, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Comparable synergism was observed between IFN-gamma and peptidoglycan (PGN; a TLR2 ligand) and poly(I:C) (a TLR3 ligand) in the induction of IL-12 promoter activity. IFN-gamma enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ERK and JNK phosphorylation but had no effect on LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation. Interestingly, we found that IRF-8-/- macrophages were impaired in the activation of LPS-induced ERK and JNK and the production of proinflammatory cytokines induced by LPS or IFN-gamma plus LPS. Retroviral transduction of IRF-8 into IRF-8-/- macrophages rescued ERK and JNK activation. Furthermore, co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that IRF-8 physically interacts with TRAF6 at a binding site between amino acid residues 356 and 305 of IRF-8. Transfection of IRF-8 enhanced TRAF6 ubiquitination, which is consistent with a physical interaction of IRF-8 with TRAF6. Taken together, the results suggest that the interaction of IRF-8 with TRAF6 modulates TLR signaling and may contribute to the cross-talk between IFN-gamma and TLR signal pathways. 相似文献

Complement factor B (Bf) plays an important role in activating the alternative complement pathway. The inflammatory cytokines, in particular TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma, are critical in the regulation of Bf gene expression in macrophages. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of Bf gene regulation by TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma in murine macrophages. Northern analysis revealed that Bf mRNA expression was synergistically up-regulated by TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma in MH-S cells. Truncations of the 5' Bf promoter identified a region between -556 and -282 bp that mediated TNF-alpha responsiveness as well as the synergistic effect of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma on Bf expression. Site-directed mutagenesis of a NF-kappaB-binding element in this region (-433 to -423 bp) abrogated TNF-alpha responsiveness and decreased the synergistic effect of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma on Bf expression. EMSAs revealed nuclear protein binding to this NF-kappaB cis-binding element on TNF-alpha stimulation. Supershift analysis revealed that both p50 and p65 proteins contribute to induction of Bf by TNF-alpha. An I-kappaB dominant negative mutant blocked Bf induction by TNF-alpha and reduced the synergistic induction by TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. In addition, the proteasome inhibitor MG132, which blocks NF-kappaB induction, blocked TNF-alpha-induced Bf promoter activity and the synergistic induction of Bf promoter activity by TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. LPS was found to induce Bf promoter activity through the same NF-kappaB cis-binding site. These findings suggest that a NF-kappaB cis-binding site between -433 and -423 bp is required for TNF-alpha responsiveness and for TNF-alpha- and IFN-gamma-stimulated synergistic responsiveness of the Bf gene. 相似文献
