项目摘要

1.Regulation of cytokine genes in T cells. Using human and mouse T cell clones with TH1, TH2, and TH0 phenotype, we have been working on the coordinate and differential expression of the IL-3, IL-4, IL-5 and GM-CSF genes. The CLE2/GC-box and CLE0 of the mouse GM-CSF promoter are essential for transcriptional activation in response to PMA and Ca ionophore. CLE2 defines a binding site for NF-kappaB.The major GC-box binding activity A1 was purified and was identified as Sp1. We purified a human NF-AT protein from activated Jurkat extract and showed that it strongly bound to the CLE0 within the GM-CSF promoter in association with AP1. We isolated a novel protein with zinc finger motifs which binds to the CT/GC-rich region of the IL-3 promoter. We also identified cis-regulatory elements within IL-5, IL-4 and IL-2 promoters. These works were done in collaboration with Drs.Naoko Arai and de Vries Jan in DNAX.2.Receptor and Signal transduction. We have been working on the structure and function of GM-CSF/IL-3 receptors. There are several signal pathways downstream of the GM-CSF receptor. The membrane proximal region of betac is essential for proliferation, c-myc and pim-1 induction and Jak2 association. The C-terminal region of betac is important for the suppression of apoptosis, Ras, Raf, MAPK activation and c-fos, c-jun induction. We have also shown that bone marrow cells derived from transgenic mice which constitutively express hGM-CSF receptor have the proliferative capacity to induce all the myeloid cell lineages in response to hGM-CSF.Furthermore, we have generated mice carrying a null mutation of betac and betaIL-3. betac mutant mice also showed lung pathology consisting of lymphocytic infiltration and areas resembling alveolar proteinosis. These works were done in collaboration with Dr.Atsushi Miyajima in DNAX and Dr.Ostertag Wolfram in Hamburg University.

1. T细胞中细胞因子基因的调节。使用具有Th1，Th2和Th0表型的人和小鼠T细胞克隆，我们一直在研究IL-3，IL-4，IL-5和GM-CSF基因的坐标和差异表达。小鼠GM-CSF启动子的CLE2/GC-BOX和CLE0对于响应PMA和CA离子载体的转录激活至关重要。 CLE2定义了NF-kappab的结合位点。纯化了主要的GC-box活性A1并被鉴定为SP1。我们从活化的Jurkat提取物中纯化了人类NF-AT蛋白，并表明它与AP1相关的GM-CSF启动子内的CLE0很强。我们用锌指基序分离了一种新型蛋白质，该蛋白与IL-3启动子的CT/GC富区域结合。我们还确定了IL-5，IL-4和IL-2启动子内的顺式调节元件。这些作品是与Drs.naoko Arai和De Vries Jan合作完成的。我们一直在研究GM-CSF/IL-3受体的结构和功能。 GM-CSF受体的下游有几种信号途径。 BETAC的膜近端区域对于增殖，C-MYC和PIM-1诱导和JAK2关联至关重要。 BETAC的C末端区域对于抑制凋亡，RAS，RAF，MAPK激活和C-FOS，C-JUN诱导很重要。我们还表明，源自构成表达HGM-CSF受体的转基因小鼠的骨髓细胞具有增殖能力，可以诱导所有响应于HGM-CSF的髓样细胞谱系。 Betail-3。 BETAC突变小鼠还显示出肺病理学，包括淋巴细胞浸润和类似肺泡蛋白质的区域。这些作品是与DNAX的Miyajima博士和汉堡大学的Dr.ostertag Wolfram合作完成的。
