Glutaredoxin-1 (GRX-1) is a cytoplasmic enzyme that highly contributes to the antioxidant defense system. It catalyzes the reversible reduction of glutathione-protein mixed disulfides, a process called deglutathionylation. Here, we investigated the role of GRX-1 in the pathway triggered by interleukin-1/Toll-like receptor 4 (IL-1R/TLR4) by using RNA interference (RNAi) in HEK293 and HeLa cells. TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is an intermediate signalling molecule involved in the signal transduction by members of the interleukin-1/Toll-like receptor (IL-1R/TLR) family. TRAF6 has an E3 ubiquitin ligase activity which depends on the integrity of an amino-terminal really interesting new gene (RING) finger motif. Upon receptor activation, TRAF6 undergoes K63-linked auto-polyubiquitination which mediates protein-protein interactions and signal propagation. Our data showed that IL-1R and TLR4-mediated NF-κB induction was severely reduced in GRX-1 knockdown cells. We found that the RING-finger motif of TRAF6 is S-glutathionylated under normal conditions. Moreover, upon IL-1 stimulation TRAF6 undergoes deglutathionylation catalyzed by GRX-1. The deglutathionylation of TRAF6 is essential for its auto-polyubiquitination and subsequent activation. Taken together, our findings reveal another signalling molecule affected by S-glutathionylation and uncover a crucial role for GRX-1 in the TRAF6-dependent activation of NF-κB by IL-1R/TLRs. 相似文献

Virus infection induces a rapid cellular response in cells characterized by the induction of interferon. While interferon itself does not induce an antiviral response, it activates a number of interferon-stimulated genes that collectively function to inhibit virus replication and spread. Previously, we and others reported that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) induces an interferon -independent antiviral response in the absence of virus replication. Here, we report that the HSV-1 proteins ICP0 and vhs function in concert to disable the host antiviral response. In particular, we show that ICP0 blocks interferon regulatory factor IRF3- and IRF7-mediated activation of interferon-stimulated genes and that the RING finger domain of ICP0 is essential for this activity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that HSV-1 modifies the IRF3 pathway in a manner different from that of the small RNA viruses most commonly studied. 相似文献

Secretion of interferon (IFN) by virus-infected cells is essential for activating autocrine and paracrine pathways that promote cellular transition to an antiviral state. In most mammalian cells, IFN production is initiated by the activation of constitutively expressed IFN regulatory factor 3, IRF3, which in turn leads to the induction of IRF7, the "master regulator" of IFN type I synthesis (alpha/beta IFN). Previous studies established that rotavirus NSP1 antagonizes IFN signaling by inducing IRF3 degradation. In the present study, we have determined that, in comparison to wild-type rotaviruses, rotaviruses encoding defective NSP1 grow to lower titers in some cell lines and that this poor growth phenotype is due to their failure to suppress IFN expression. Furthermore, we provide evidence that rotaviruses encoding wild-type NSP1 subvert IFN signaling by inducing the degradation of not only IRF3, but also IRF7, with both events occurring through proteasome-dependent processes that proceed with similar efficiencies. The capacity of NSP1 to induce IRF7 degradation may allow rotavirus to move across the gut barrier by enabling the virus to replicate in specialized trafficking cells (dendritic cells and macrophages) that constitutively express IRF7. Along with IRF3 and IRF7, NSP1 was found to induce the degradation of IRF5, a factor that upregulates IFN expression and that is involved in triggering apoptosis during viral infection. Our analysis suggests that NSP1 mediates the degradation of IRF3, IRF5, and IRF7 by recognizing a common element of IRF proteins, thereby allowing NSP1 to act as a broad-spectrum antagonist of IRF function. 相似文献

Legionella pneumophila, a Gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium, causes severe pneumonia (Legionnaires' disease). Type I interferons (IFNs) were so far associated with antiviral immunity, but recent studies also indicated a role of these cytokines in immune responses against (intracellular) bacteria. Here we show that wild-type L. pneumophila and flagellin-deficient Legionella, but not L. pneumophila lacking a functional type IV secretion system Dot/Icm, or heat-inactivated Legionella induced IFNbeta expression in human lung epithelial cells. We found that factor (IRF)-3 and NF-kappaB-p65 translocated into the nucleus and bound to the IFNbeta gene enhancer after L. pneumophila infection of lung epithelial cells. RNA interference demonstrated that in addition to IRF3, the caspase recruitment domain (CARD)-containing adapter molecule IPS-1 (interferon-beta promoter stimulator 1) is crucial for L. pneumophila-induced IFNbeta expression, whereas other CARD-possessing molecules, such as RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible protein I), MDA5 (melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5), Nod27 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 27), and ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) seemed not to be involved. Finally, bacterial multiplication assays in small interfering RNA-treated cells indicated that IPS-1, IRF3, and IFNbeta were essential for the control of intracellular replication of L. pneumophila in lung epithelial cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated a critical role of IPS-1, IRF3, and IFNbeta in Legionella infection of lung epithelium. 相似文献

Psoriasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share similar inflammatory pathways in their pathogenesis. The stimulator of interferon genes (STING)‐interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) pathway has recently been shown to play an important role in immune and metabolic diseases. In this study, we investigated the activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway in human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) cells treated with palmitic acid (PA) and imiquimod (IMQ). Additionally, we detected the STING‐IRF3 pathway in diabetic mice with imiquimod (IMQ)‐induced psoriasis and assessed the potential of STING inhibitor C‐176. Furthermore, skin samples from patients with psoriasis and diabetes were collected for immunohistochemical analysis. The results indicated that the STING‐IRF3 pathway was activated in HaCaT cells. Moreover, the STING pathway was also found to be induced in the skin tissue of diabetic mice with psoriasis; the inflammatory responses were ameliorated by treatment with C‐176. In the skin tissue samples of patients with psoriasis and diabetes, immunohistochemistry showed that the expression levels of STING and phosphorylated IRF3 were also significantly increased. Thus, we conclude that the STING‐IRF3 pathway is involved in the inflammatory response in the manifestation of psoriasis with T2DM. Inhibition of the activation of the STING pathway can ameliorate the development of psoriasis in diabetes and could be targeted for the development of therapeutic agents for these conditions. 相似文献

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) leading to the activation of the innate immune response and subsequently to the shaping of the adaptive immune response. Of the known human TLRs, TLR3, 7, 8, and 9 were shown to recognize nucleic acid ligands. TLR3 signaling is induced by double-stranded (ds)RNA, a molecular signature of viruses, and is mediated by the TRIF (TIR domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFNbeta) adaptor molecule. Thus, TLR3 plays an important role in the host response to viral infections. The liver is constantly exposed to a large variety of foreign substances, including pathogens such as HBV (hepatitis B virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), which frequently establish persistent liver infections. In this work, we investigated the expression and signaling pathway of TLR3 in different hepatoma cell lines. We show that hepatocyte lineage cells express relatively low levels of TLR3 mRNA. TLR3 signaling in HEK293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells) activated NF-kappaB and IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3) and induced IFNbeta (interferon beta) promoter expression, which are known to lead to pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. In Huh7 cells, there was only a short-term IRF3 activation, and a very low level of IFNbeta expression. In HepG2 cells on the other hand, while no induction of pro-inflammatory factors was observed, signaling by TLR3 was skewed towards the induction of apoptosis. These results indicate preferential induction of the apoptotic pathway over the cytokine induction pathway by TLR3 signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma cells with potential implications for therapeutic strategies. 相似文献
