Many who recover from WNV neuroinvasive infection present with long-term deficits, including weakness, fatigue, and cognitive problems. While neurons are a main target of WNV, other cell types, especially astrocytes, play an important role in promoting WNV-mediated central nervous system (CNS) damage.

The cytokine interleukin 6 (IL6) can influence progression, differentiation, " IRF9 survival, and angiogenesis of PCa. To identify novel pathways that are triggered by IL6, we " IL6 performed a gene expression profiling of two PCa cell lines, LNCaP and MDA PCa 2b, treated " prostate cancer with 5 ng/ml IL6. Interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 9 (IRF9) was identified as one of the most " IFNa2 prevalent IL6-regulated genes in both cell lines. IRF9 is a mediator of type I IFN signaling and " inflammation acts together with STAT1 and 2 to activate transcription of IFN-responsive genes. The IL6 Endocrine-Related Cancer regulation of IRF9 was confirmed at mRNA and protein levels by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot respectively in both cell lines and could be blocked by the anti-IL6 antibody Siltuximab.

This pathway can drive pathological inflammation, as documented for type I interferonopathies. In contrast, specific STING activation and subsequent IFN-β release have shown beneficial effects on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) as a model for multiple sclerosis (MS). Although less severe cases of relapse-remitting MS (RRMS) are treated with IFN-β, there is little information correlating aberrant type I IFN signaling and the pathologic conditions of MS. We hypothesized that there is a link between STING activation and the endogenous production of IFN-β during neuroinflammation.

  • The MK2 Pathway Is Linked to G-CSF, Cytokine Production and Metastasis
    Qeadan et al. J Transl Med (2020) 18:137 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-020-02294-z Journal of Translational Medicine RESEARCH Open Access The MK2 pathway is linked to G-CSF, cytokine production and metastasis in gastric cancer: a novel intercorrelation analysis approach Fares Qeadan1, Pranshu Bansal2, Joshua A. Hanson3 and Ellen J. Beswick4* Abstract Background: Gastric cancer is associated with chronic infammation, but there is still much to understand about the tumor microenvironment and the underlying tumor-promoting mechanisms. The Map kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) pathway is a regulator of infammatory cytokine production that we have been studying in gastrointes- tinal cancers. Here, we set out to determine the signifcance of this gene in gastric cancer along with its downstream mediators and if there were diferences in the primary tumors with and without metastasis. Methods: Human gastric cancer tissues with and without metastasis were examined for MK2 expression and cytokine profle in organ culture supernatants. Advanced statistical methods including a lower triangular correlation matrix, novel rooted correlation network, linear and logistic regression modeling along with Kruskal–Wallis testing with Sidak correction for multiple testing were applied to gain understanding of cytokines/chemokines linked to metastasis. Results: The MK2 pathway is strongly linked with metastasis and a panel of cytokines. Gene expression was able to classify gastric cancer metastasis 85.7% of the time. A signifcant association with a panel of cytokines was found, including G-CSF, GM-CSF, Mip-1β, IFN-α, MCP-1, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Mip-1β was found to have the strongest asso- ciation with MK2 and metastasis after Sidak correction for multiple testing.
