In our previous study, we demonstrated that an IFN-g– inducible molecule, tripartite motif (TRIM) 22, played an important role in antiviral immunity against hepatitis B virus. However, the molecular mechanism of TRIM22 induction by IFN-g is still unclear. In this study, we identified a novel cis-element termed 59 extended IFN-stimulating response element (59 eISRE) that was crucial for IFN-g inducibility of TRIM22 through transfection assays with luciferase reporter constructs and EMSAs. The 59 eISRE consists of an ISRE-like motif (ACTTTCGTTTCTC) and a 6-bp sequence (AATTTA) upstream of it, and all three thymine triplets of this cis-element (AATTTAACTTTCGTTTCTC) were revealed to contribute to the IFN-g inducibility of TRIM22 by site-directed mutagenesis. Further studies showed that upon IFN-g Downloaded from stimulation, the 59 eISRE could be bound by IFN regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), but not by STAT1, as demonstrated by supershift analysis and an ELISA-based transcription factor assay. Moreover, overexpression of IRF-1 significantly induced TRIM22 expres- sion, whereas silencing of IRF-1 with specific short interference RNA abolished IFN-g–induced TRIM22 expression in HepG2 cells, indicating an IRF-1–dependent expression of TRIM22. Taken together, it was demonstrated in this study that a novel cis-element, 59 eISRE, was crucial for the IFN-g–induced transcriptional activity of the TRIM22 gene via interaction with IRF-1.

Collins1,2, Yuzhuo Wang1,2, Himisha Beltran3, and Amina Zoubeidi1,2 ABSTRACT Mechanisms controlling the emergence of lethal neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), especially those that are consequences of treatment-induced suppression of the androgen receptor (AR), remain elusive. Using a unique model of AR pathway inhibitor–resistant prostate cancer, we identified AR-dependent control of the neural transcription factor BRN2 (encoded by POU3F2) as a major driver of NEPC and aggressive tumor growth, both in vitro and in vivo. Mecha- nistic studies showed that AR directly suppresses BRN2 transcription, which is required for NEPC, and BRN2-dependent regulation of the NEPC marker SOX2. Underscoring its inverse correlation with clas- sic AR activity in clinical samples, BRN2 expression was highest in NEPC tumors and was significantly increased in castration-resistant prostate cancer compared with adenocarcinoma, especially in patients with low serum PSA. These data reveal a novel mechanism of AR-dependent control of NEPC and suggest that targeting BRN2 is a strategy to treat or prevent neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate tumors. SIGNIFICANCE: Understanding the contribution of the AR to the emergence of highly lethal, drug- resistant NEPC is critical for better implementation of current standard-of-care therapies and novel drug design.

Although TRIM proteins can have wide-ranging biological roles, anti-pathogen TRIM5a is an antiviral, cytoplasmic, E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase that defense functions are common (Nisole et al, 2005; McNab et al, assembles on incoming retroviral capsids and induces their prema- 2011).

However, activation of STAT1 by IL-10 and STAT3 by IFNγ is also observed. The regulatory mechanisms controlling the amplitude and dynamics of both the STATs in response to these functionally opposing stimuli remains less understood. Here, our experiments at cell population level show distinct early signalling dynamics of both STAT1 and STAT3(S/1/3) in responses to IFNγ and IL-10 stimulation.

Accolla2, Elisa Vicenzi1 & Guido Poli1,3 We have reported that short-term stimulation of primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), i.e. M1 polarization, leads to a signifcant containment of virus replication. Here we show that M1-MDM restimulation with these cytokines 7 days after infection (M12 MDM) promoted an increased restriction of HIV-1 replication characterized by very low levels of virus production near to undetectable levels. In comparison to control and M1-MDM that were not restimulated, M12 MDM showed a stronger reduction of both total and integrated HIV DNA as well as of viral mRNA expression. M12 MDM were characterized by an upregulated expression of restriction factors acting at the level of reverse transcription (RT), including apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like 3A (APOBEC3A) and APOBEC3G, but not SAM domain and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1). M12 MDM also showed an increased expression of Class II Transactivator (CIITA) and Tripartite Motif22 (TRIM22), two negative regulators of proviral transcription, whereas expression and phosphorylation of transcriptional inducers of HIV-1, such as nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), were not impaired in these cells. The almost quiescent state of the infection in M12 MDM was promptly reversed by coculture with mitogen-stimulated leukocytes or cell incubation with their fltered culture supernatant.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Identification of C3 As a Therapeutic Target for Diabetic Nephropathy By
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identifcation of C3 as a therapeutic target for diabetic nephropathy by bioinformatics analysis ShuMei Tang, XiuFen Wang, TianCi Deng, HuiPeng Ge & XiangCheng Xiao* The pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy is not completely understood, and the efects of existing treatments are not satisfactory. Various public platforms already contain extensive data for deeper bioinformatics analysis. From the GSE30529 dataset based on diabetic nephropathy tubular samples, we identifed 345 genes through diferential expression analysis and weighted gene coexpression correlation network analysis. GO annotations mainly included neutrophil activation, regulation of immune efector process, positive regulation of cytokine production and neutrophil-mediated immunity. KEGG pathways mostly included phagosome, complement and coagulation cascades, cell adhesion molecules and the AGE-RAGE signalling pathway in diabetic complications. Additional datasets were analysed to understand the mechanisms of diferential gene expression from an epigenetic perspective. Diferentially expressed miRNAs were obtained to construct a miRNA-mRNA network from the miRNA profles in the GSE57674 dataset. The miR-1237-3p/SH2B3, miR-1238-5p/ ZNF652 and miR-766-3p/TGFBI axes may be involved in diabetic nephropathy. The methylation levels of the 345 genes were also tested based on the gene methylation profles of the GSE121820 dataset. The top 20 hub genes in the PPI network were discerned using the CytoHubba tool. Correlation analysis with GFR showed that SYK, CXCL1, LYN, VWF, ANXA1, C3, HLA-E, RHOA, SERPING1, EGF and KNG1 may be involved in diabetic nephropathy. Eight small molecule compounds were identifed as potential therapeutic drugs using Connectivity Map. It is estimated that a total of 451 million people sufered from diabetes by 2017, and the number is speculated to be 693 million by 2045 1.
