项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Macrophages and other myeloid cell types are key players in the innate immune response to infection. Myeloid cell development, recruitment, activation, and microbicidal activity are regulated by type I and II interferons (IFN¿¿ and IFN?). IFN¿¿ and IFN? are concurrently produced during microbial infections but have different effects on myeloid cells. IFN? activates macrophage microbicidal activity and typically reduces host susceptibility to intracellular microbes. Conversely, IFN¿¿ suppresses myeloid cell activation and increases host susceptibility to certain intracellular bacteria. The mechanisms by which IFN¿¿ exacerbates bacterial infections remain poorly understood. In this exploratory R21 grant application we test the hypothesis that IFN¿¿ increases susceptibility to bacterial infections due to its ability to suppress myeloid cell immunity. In the first Aim, we determine whether down regulation of myeloid cell IFNGR expression by IFN¿¿ impairs myeloid cell activation and increases host susceptibility to infection. In the second Aim, we test whether the novel non- canonical IFN¿¿ response pathway that suppresses ifngr1 gene expression also impairs expression of other genes important for myeloid cell activation and whether inhibiting this pathway increases host resistance to infection. Information from these studies will provide insight into the mechanisms by which non-canonical responses to IFN¿¿ increase host susceptibility to microbial infections.

描述（由申请人提供）：巨噬细胞和其他骨髓细胞类型是对感染的先天免疫反应的关键参与者，骨髓细胞的发育、募集、激活和杀菌活性受 I 型和 II 型干扰素（IFN¿）的调节。）。 ¿ IFN? 和 IFN? 在微生物感染过程中同时产生，但对骨髓细胞有不同的影响。 IFN? 激活巨噬细胞杀微生物活性，并且通常对细胞内微生物敏感。 ¿抑制骨髓细胞活化并增加宿主对某些细胞内细菌的敏感性。 ¿细菌感染恶化的情况仍然知之甚少，在这个探索性的 R21 拨款申请中，我们测试了 IFN 的假设。 ¿由于其抑制骨髓细胞免疫的能力，增加了对细菌感染的易感性。在第一个目标中，我们确定 IFN 是否下调骨髓细胞 IFNGR 的表达。 ¿损害骨髓细胞活化并增加宿主对感染的易感性在第二个目标中，我们测试新型非典型干扰素是否存在。 ¿抑制 ifngr1 基因表达的反应途径还会损害对骨髓细胞激活很重要的其他基因的表达，以及抑制该途径是否会增加宿主对感染的抵抗力，这些研究的信息将提供对 IFN 的非典型反应的机制的见解。 ¿增加宿主对微生物感染的易感性。
