IL-10 regulates anti-inflammatory signaling via the activation of STAT3, which in turn controls the induction of a gene expression program whose products execute inhibitory effects on pro-inflammatory mediator production. Here we show that IL-10 induces the expression of an ETS family transcriptional repressor, ETV3 and a helicase family co-repressor, SBNO2 (Strawberry notch homolog 2) in mouse and human macrophages. IL-10-mediated induction of ETV3 and SBNO2 expression was dependent upon both STAT3, and co-stimulus through the TLR pathway. We also observed that ETV3 expression was strongly induced by the STAT3 pathway induced by IL-10 but not STAT3 signaling activated by IL-6, which cannot activate the anti-inflammatory signaling pathway. ETV3 and SBNO2 specifically repressed NF-kB-mediated transcription and can physically interact. Collectively our data suggest that ETV3 and SBNO2 are components of the pathways that contribute to the downstream anti-inflammatory effects of IL-10.

View SamplesAbstract: Secretion occurs in all cells, with relatively low levels in most cells and extremely high levels in specialized secretory cells, such as those of the pancreas, salivary and mammary glands. Here, we report that the CrebA/Creb3-like family of bZip transcription factors functions to upregulate expression of both the general protein machinery required in all cells for secretion and of cell-type specific secreted proteins. Drosophila CrebA directly binds the enhancers of secretory pathway genes and is both necessary and sufficient to activate expression of every secretory pathway component gene examined thus far. Microarray profiling reveals that CrebA also upregulates expression of genes encoding cell type specific secreted components. Finally, we find that the human CrebA orthologues, Creb3L1 and Creb3L2, have the ability to upregulate the secretory pathway in non-secretory cell types.
The CrebA/Creb3-like transcription factors are major and direct regulators of secretory capacity.

View SamplesFoxA transcription factors play major roles in organ-specific gene expression. How FoxA proteins achieve specificity is unclear, given their broad expression patterns and requirements in multiple cell types. Here, we characterize Sage, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor expressed exclusively in the Drosophila salivary gland (SG). We identify Sage targets and show that not only are both Sage and the single Drosophila FoxA protein, Fork head (Fkh), required for expression of these genes, but coexpression of Sage and Fkh is sufficient to drive target gene expression in multiple other cell types. Sage and Fkh drive expression of the bZip transcription factor Senseless (Sens), which boosts expression of Sage/Fkh targets. Importantly, Sage, Fkh and Sens colocalize on salivary gland polytene chromosomes. Thus, Fkh drives cell-type specific gene expression as part of a tissue-specific transcription module that includes Sage and Sens, providing a new paradigm for how mammalian FoxA proteins acheive specificity.

View SamplesWe investigate the biological effects of radiation using Drosophila Melanogaster as a model organism, focusing on gene expression and lifespan analysis to determine the effect of different radiation doses. Our results support a threshold effect in response to radiation: no effect on lifespan and no permanent effect on gene expression is seen at doses below 10,000 Roentgens. Overall design: Adult male Drosophila were irradiated 2 days after eclosion, with one of 6 radiation doses: 10; 1,000; 5,000; 10,000; 20,000 Roentgens. Samples were taken at 3 time points (2, 10 and 20 days post-irradiation).
