We present evidence of a link between interferonβ-1b (IFN-β) and G-protein signaling by demonstrating that IFN-β can induce the expression of the negative regulator of G-protein signaling 1 (RGS1). RGS1 reduces G-protein activation and immune cell migration by interacting with heterotrimeric G-proteins and enhancing their intrinsic GTPase activity. In this study, IFN-β treatment resulted in the induction of RGS1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, T cells, and B cells. Induction of RGS1 by IFN-β was concentration dependent and observed at both the RNA and protein level. Other members of the RGS family were not induced by IFN-β, and induction of RGS1 required the activation of the IFN receptor. In addition, RGS1 induction was observed in PBMCs obtained from IFN-β-treated multiple sclerosis patients suggesting a possible, as yet unexplored, involvement of G-protein regulation in disease treatment. The upregulation of RGS1 by IFN-β has not been previously reported.
我们通过证明干扰素β-1b(IFN-β)可诱导G蛋白信号负调节因子1(RGS1)的表达,提供了IFN-β与G蛋白信号传导之间存在联系的证据。RGS1通过与异源三聚体G蛋白相互作用并增强其内在GTP酶活性,来降低G蛋白活化和免疫细胞迁移。在本研究中,IFN-β处理导致外周血单核细胞(PBMC)、单核细胞、T细胞和B细胞中RGS1的诱导。IFN-β对RGS1的诱导呈浓度依赖性,且在RNA和蛋白质水平均有观察到。RGS家族的其他成员未被IFN-β诱导,RGS1的诱导需要IFN受体的激活。此外,在从接受IFN-β治疗的多发性硬化症患者获得的PBMC中观察到RGS1的诱导,这表明G蛋白调节在疾病治疗中可能存在尚未探索的参与情况。IFN-β对RGS1的上调作用此前尚未见报道。
