PROJECT SUMMARY: A central scientific question of this competing renewal is the mechanistic understanding of the inflammatory responses to cytosolic DNA. To achieve our goals, we continue using the forward genetic analysis in the wild- derived mice of the MOLF strain that diverged from classical inbred (C57BL6) mice about 1 million years ago. A phenotype that provides preliminary data for this application is the defective IFN production in MOLF macrophages in response to DNA pathogens or cytosolic DNA - a condition conferred by a hypomorphic allele of Sting. In spite of the failure to produce IFN, activated MOLF macrophages overproduce IL-6. Other wild- derived strains exhibit similar skewing of responses to DNA-viruses and DNA. Based on these data, we hypothesized that in order to avoid IFN-mediated excessive inflammation, DNA sensing pathways must have evolved to complement IFN production, perhaps with less dangerous substitutes such as IL-6. Accordingly, we will determine how wild derived mice respond to cytosolic DNA with low IFN but high IL-6--a line of investigation that will ultimately identify genes (loci) responsible for IL-6 overproduction. In the first Aim, we will test the hypothesis that retention of STING in the ER is the mechanism of switching the DNA-responses from IFN to IL-6 production. Second, we will examine the potential contribution of other DNA-sensors and pathways into STING-mediated DNA-responses in MOLF. Finally, we will use STING congenic (B6.StingMOLF/MOLF) mice, which are completely non-responsive to DNA to genetically map and identify gene(s) that confer overproduction of IL-6 in MOLF in response to DNA. In extension of genetic analysis of the trait, we will study the responses to DNA in DNAse2-/- Sting MOLF/- mice. These mice are rescued from DNAse2-/- -associated embryonic lethality with the hypomorphic allele of Sting despite high levels of inflammatory cytokines in the blood and embryonic lethality of the DNAse2-/- Sting MOLF/- females. These data suggest that some uncharacterized STING-mediated signaling exists in these mice, which will be investigated in Aim 2 of the proposal. First, we will identify the DNA-responsive cells, and use single cell RNA-sequencing analysis in these cells to identify genes with expression levels associated with the inflammatory signature and DNA- responses. Despite being confined to eQTL (expression Quantitative Trait Loci), the single cell association studies in Aim 2 will potentially reveal all associations between the phenotype and the genes, some of which will not necessarily be mapped in Aim 1 and could be completely novel. Finally, based on embryonic lethality of the DNAse2-/- Sting MOLF/- females, we will investigate potential contributions of the X-linked Tlr7 and Tlr8 into STING-mediated responses. By investigating the mechanism of DNA responses in MOLF, we hope to provide better insight into the diversity of pathologies present in human patients with interferonopathies. !

项目概要： 这种竞争性更新的一个核心科学问题是对炎症反应的机制性理解。 对胞质DNA的反应。为了实现我们的目标，我们继续在野外使用正向遗传分析- MOLF品系的衍生小鼠，其从大约100万年前的经典近交系（C57 BL 6）小鼠分化而来。 一个表型，提供了初步的数据，为这种应用是有缺陷的干扰素生产在MOLF 巨噬细胞对DNA病原体或胞质DNA的反应-由亚型等位基因赋予的条件 关于Sting尽管不能产生IFN，但活化的MOLF巨噬细胞过量产生IL-6。其他野生- 衍生的菌株对DNA病毒和DNA表现出相似的反应偏斜。根据这些数据，我们 假设为了避免IFN介导的过度炎症，DNA传感通路必须具有 进化到补充干扰素的生产，也许与危险性较低的替代品，如IL-6。因此我们 将确定野生型小鼠如何对低IFN高IL-6的胞质DNA作出反应--一种 研究将最终确定负责IL-6过度产生的基因（位点）。在第一个目标中，我们将 测试这一假设，即在ER中保留STING是将DNA应答从 IFN至IL-6产生。其次，我们将研究其他DNA传感器和途径的潜在贡献 MOLF中STING介导的DNA反应。最后，我们将使用STING同源（B6.StingMOLF/MOLF）小鼠， 其对DNA完全无反应，以遗传作图和鉴定赋予 MOLF中响应DNA的IL-6过量产生。在性状遗传分析的扩展中，我们将研究 在DNAse 2-/- Sting MOLF/-小鼠中对DNA的反应。这些小鼠从DNA酶2-/-相关的疾病中获救 胚胎致死性与蜇的亚型等位基因，尽管高水平的炎性细胞因子， DNA酶2-/-螫刺MOLF/-雌性的血液和胚胎致死率。 这些数据 表明某些 这些小鼠中存在未表征的STING介导的信号传导，这将在本书的目标2中进行研究 提议首先，我们将鉴定DNA应答细胞，并使用单细胞RNA测序分析， 这些细胞，以确定与炎症信号和DNA相关的表达水平的基因， 应答尽管局限于eQTL（表达数量性状基因座），单细胞关联 目标2中的研究将潜在地揭示表型和基因之间的所有关联，其中一些 不一定会在目标1中映射，并且可能是完全新颖的。最后，根据胚胎致死率 在DNAse 2-/- Sting MOLF/-雌性中，我们将研究X连锁的Tlr 7和Tlr 8的潜在贡献。 转化为针刺介导的反应。通过研究MOLF中DNA反应的机制，我们希望 更好地了解干扰素病患者的病理多样性。!
