项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The production of antibodies by antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) is critically important for immune responses to many different pathogens. However, in autoimmune diseases where B cell tolerance is broken, many ASCs secrete autoantibodies and contribute in a major way to organ pathology. The differentiation of B cells into ASCs is controlled by a cohort of key transcription factors including Ets-1, which serves as a negative regulator of this process. In the absence of Ets-1, B cells undergo enhanced differentiation into ASCs many of which secrete autoantibodies as demonstrated by high titers of IgM and IgG autoantibodies in the serum. Recently Toll- like receptor (TLR) signaling, particularly via TLR7 and TLR9, has been implicated in the activation of autoreactive B cells to differentiate into ASCs. Interestingly, Ets-1 deficient B cells exhibit enhanced responses to TLR7 and TLR9 ligands in vitro and Ets-1 knockout mice lacking the TLR adaptor protein Myd88 have reduced autoantibody production. Toll-like receptor signaling is a potent inducer of the expression of Blimp-1, a key transcription factor that drives ASC differentiation. Ets-1 physically interacts with Blimp-1 to inhibit the ability of Blimp-1 to bind target DNA sequences. In contrast, a closely related transcription factor Ets-2 is unable to block Blimp-1 binding or to inhibit ASC differentiation. Ets-1 also is thought to regulate the expression of critical target genes controlling ASC formation, but the identity of most of these targets remains unclear. In this application we propose a variety of assays to further define the role of Ets-1 in regulating target gene expression, Blimp-1 activity and ASC differentiation. These studies will be aided by comparing biological activities of Ets-1, which can block ASC differentiation, with the closely related Ets-2 protein, which lacks this activity. The specific aims of the proposal are (1) to determine which cell types require Ets-1 activity to limit ASC formation, autoantibody secretion and autoimmune disease, (2) to examine the in vivo role of TLR7 and 9 ligands in activating Ets-1 deficient B cells, (3) to identify Ets-1 dependent gene expression pathways regulating ASC formation and (4) to identify structural features of Ets-1 that impart a unique ability to regulate ASC development. Together our studies will provide novel insights into the transcriptional regulation of B cell differentiation particularly in situations of autoantibody secretion.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过抗体分泌细胞（ASC）生产抗体对于对许多不同病原体的免疫反应至关重要。但是，在B细胞耐受性破坏的自身免疫性疾病中，许多ASC分泌自身抗体，并以主要方式进行器官病理学做出贡献。 B细胞将B细胞分化为ASC，由包括ETS-1在内的一系列关键转录因子控制，这是该过程的负调节剂。在没有ETS-1的情况下，B细胞会增强分化为ASC，其中许多分泌自身抗体，如血清中IgM和IgG自身抗体的高滴度所证明的那样。最近，Toll-Like受体（TLR）信号传导，特别是通过TLR7和TLR9，与自动反应性B细胞的激活有关，以分化为ASC。有趣的是，ETS-1缺乏的B细胞在体外表现出对TLR7和TLR9配体的反应增强，而缺乏TLR适配器蛋白MYD88的ETS-1基因敲除小鼠的自身抗体产生降低。 Toll样受体信号传导是Blimp-1表达的有效诱导剂，Blimp-1是驱动ASC分化的关键转录因子。 ETS-1与Blimp-1物理相互作用，以抑制Blimp-1结合靶DNA序列的能力。相反，密切相关的转录因子ETS-2无法阻止Blimp-1结合或抑制ASC分化。 ETS-1也被认为可以调节控制ASC形成的关键靶基因的表达，但是大多数目标的身份尚不清楚。在此应用中，我们提出了多种测定法，以进一步定义ETS-1在调节靶基因表达，BLIMP-1活性和ASC分化中的作用。这些研究将通过比较ETS-1的生物学活性，从而阻止ASC分化，而Eets-2蛋白质缺乏这种活性。 The specific aims of the proposal are (1) to determine which cell types require Ets-1 activity to limit ASC formation, autoantibody secretion and autoimmune disease, (2) to examine the in vivo role of TLR7 and 9 ligands in activating Ets-1 deficient B cells, (3) to identify Ets-1 dependent gene expression pathways regulating ASC formation and (4) to identify structural features of Ets-1 that impart a unique ability to规范ASC的发展。我们的研究将共同提供对B细胞分化的转录调节的新见解，尤其是在自身抗体分泌的情况下。
