The T-box transcription factor Eomesodermin (Eomes) regulates the lineage-dependent expression of interferon γ (IFN-γ). We previously showed that Eomes promotes IFN-γ production and interacts with multiple conserved noncoding sequences (CNS) across the Ifng locus in mouse lymphoma BW5147 cells. In the present study, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of IFN-γ by the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) subunit RelA and nuclear factor of activated T cells c2 (NFATc2, also known as NFAT1) in Eomes-transfected BW5147 cells. Eomes promoted the interaction of RelA and NFATc2 with the Ifng promoter and five CNS, including CNS-22 and CNS+30 upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin (IM). The dual NF-κB and STAT3 inhibitor TPCA-1 moderately reduced the PMA- and IM-induced IFN-γ transcription in Eomes-transfected BW5147 cells. TPCA-1 interfered with RelA binding to the Ifng promoter, CNS-22 and CNS+30. Moreover, TPCA-1 reduced the interaction of Eomes or NFATc2 with the Ifng promoter and CNS+30. The present results indicate that Eomes promotes the interaction of RelA and NFATc2 with the Ifng promoter and multiple CNS across the Ifng locus in BW5147 cells.
T 盒转录因子 Eomesodermin(Eomes)调节干扰素 γ(IFN-γ)的谱系依赖性表达。我们之前表明,Eomes 促进 IFN-γ 的产生,并与小鼠淋巴瘤 BW5147 细胞中 Ifng 基因座上的多个保守非编码序列(CNS)相互作用。在本研究中,我们研究了核因子 κB(NF-κB)亚基 RelA 和激活的 T 细胞核因子 c2(NFATc2,也称为 NFAT1)在 Eomes 转染的 BW5147 细胞中对 IFN-γ 的转录调控。Eomes 促进了 RelA 和 NFATc2 与 Ifng 启动子和五个 CNS(包括 CNS-22 和 CNS+30)的相互作用,在佛波醇 12-肉豆蔻酸 13-乙酸酯(PMA)和离子霉素(IM)刺激下。双重 NF-κB 和 STAT3 抑制剂 TPCA-1 适度降低了 Eomes 转染的 BW5147 细胞中 PMA 和 IM 诱导的 IFN-γ 转录。TPCA-1 干扰了 RelA 与 Ifng 启动子、CNS-22 和 CNS+30 的结合。此外,TPCA-1 降低了 Eomes 或 NFATc2 与 Ifng 启动子和 CNS+30 的相互作用。本研究结果表明,Eomes 促进了 RelA 和 NFATc2 与 BW5147 细胞中 Ifng 基因座上的 Ifng 启动子和多个 CNS 的相互作用。
