感染机会性原生动物弓形虫的巨噬细胞在受到 LPS 和其他 TLR 配体刺激后,无法上调许多促炎细胞因子基因,包括 TNF (TNF-α)。在本研究中,我们研究了弓形虫对与 TNF-α 转录相关的转录因子以及 TNF-α 启动子远端和近端区域组蛋白 H3 磷酸化和乙酰化的影响。在 LPS 刺激过程中,我们发现弓形虫会阻断转录因子 c-Jun 的核积累,但不会阻断 cAMP 反应元件结合蛋白或 NF-κB 的核积累。然而,染色质免疫沉淀研究表明,所有这些转录因子与 TNF 启动子的结合都会因弓形虫感染而减少。此外,该寄生虫还能阻断 LPS 诱导的与 TNF-α 启动子远端和近端区域相关的组蛋白 H3 分子的 Ser10 磷酸化和 Lys9/Lys14 乙酰化。我们的研究结果表明,弓形虫通过干扰 TNF 启动子转录激活所需的染色质重塑事件来抑制 TNF-α 转录,揭示了真核病原体在感染过程中抑制促炎细胞因子产生的新机制。
Macrophages infected with the opportunistic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii are unable to up-regulate many proinflammatory cytokine genes, including TNF (TNF-α), upon stimulation with LPS and other TLR ligands. In this study, we examined the influence of T. gondii on transcription factors associated with TNF-α transcription, as well as phosphorylation and acetylation of histone H3 at distal and proximal regions of the TNF-α promoter. During LPS stimulation, we found that Toxoplasma blocks nuclear accumulation of transcription factor c-Jun, but not that of cAMP response element-binding protein or NF-κB. However, chromatin immunoprecipitation studies revealed that binding of all of these transcription factors to the TNF promoter was decreased by T. gondii infection. Furthermore, the parasite blocked LPS-induced Ser10 phosphorylation and Lys9/Lys14 acetylation of histone H3 molecules associated with distal and proximal regions of the TNF-α promoter. Our results show that Toxoplasma inhibits TNF-α transcription by interfering with chromatin remodeling events required for transcriptional activation at the TNF promoter, revealing a new mechanism by which a eukaryotic pathogen incapacitates proinflammatory cytokine production during infection.
