Human T cell leukemia virus type I Tax enhances IL-4 gene expression in T cells.

Abstract:

:The human T cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent of adult T cell leukemia (ATL). Since the HTLV-I-encoded transactivator Tax has been shown to activate many cellular genes including cytokine genes interleukin (IL-)1alpha, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 15, we ask whether Tax also affects IL-4 expression. In this study, we show that addition of recombinant Tax proteins greatly enhances IL-4 secretion in human peripheral primary T cells. Transient transfection studies showed that ectopic expression of Tax significantly enhanced IL-4 promoter activity. The IL-4 promoter contains a strong NF-IL6 (PRE-I element) and a NF-AT/NF-kappaB overlapping site (P1 element). We show that expression of Tax stimulates NF-IL6 binding to the PRE-I element and, consequently, enhances PRE-I-mediated transcriptional activity. Using Jurkat T cell lines which stably express Tax fused to the hormone binding domain of the human estrogen receptor (ER), we show that Tax enhances endogenous IL-4 mRNA expression and increases IL-4 promoter activity in a hormone-dependent manner. Mutation analysis revealed that the IL-4 PRE-I (NF-IL6 site) and the P1 (NF-AT/NF-kappaB site) are involved in Tax-mediated transactivation. Our studies provide the first evidence of the functional involvement of Tax in IL-4 gene regulation.

  • Chloroquine-treated dendritic cells require STAT1 signaling for their tolerogenic activity.

    abstract::MS and EAE are T cell-driven autoimmune diseases of the CNS where IL-17-producing Th17 cells promote damage and are pathogenic. Conversely, tolerogenic DCs induce Treg cells and suppress Th17 cells. Chloroquine (CQ) suppresses EAE through the modulation of DCs by unknown mechanisms. Here, we show that STAT 1 is necess...
