The IFN-γ-inducible chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 are implicated in the pathogenesis of T-cell-mediated immunity in the CNS. However, in various CNS immune pathologies the cellular localization of these chemokines differs with CXCL9 produced by macrophage/microglia while CXCL10 is produced by both macrophage/microglia and astrocytes. Here we determined the mechanism for the microglial cell-restricted expression of the Cxcl9 gene induced by IFN-γ. In cultured glial cells the induction of the CXCL9 (in microglia) and CXCL10 (in microglia and astrocytes) mRNAs by IFN-γ was not inhibited by cycloheximide. Of various transcription factors involved with IFN-γ-mediated gene regulation, PU.1 was identified as a constitutively expressed nuclear factor in microglia but not in astrocytes. STAT1 and PU.1 bound constitutively to the Cxcl9 gene promoter in microglia and this increased significantly following IFN-γ-treatment with IRF-8 identified as an additional late binding factor. However in astrocytes, STAT1 alone bound to the Cxcl9 gene promoter. STAT-1 was critical for IFN-γ-induction of both the Cxcl9 and Cxcl10 genes in microglia and in microglia and astrocytes, respectively. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of PU.1 in microglia markedly impaired IFN-γ-induced CXCL9 but not STAT1 or IRF-8. Cells of the D1A astrocyte line showed partial reprogramming to a myeloid-like phenotype after transduction with PU.1 and, in addition to the expression of CD11b, acquired the ability to produce CXCL9 in response to IFN-γ. Thus, PU.1 not only is crucial for the induction of CXCL9 by IFN-γ in microglia but also is a key determinant factor for the cell-specific expression of this chemokine by these myeloid cells.
