英文摘要
Project Summary:
The category A intracellular bacterial pathogen Francisella tularensis, the category B bacterium Listeria
monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and numerous other important human intracellular pathogens
have evolved to benefit from stimulating the host to produce type I interferons (IFNαβ). Our prior studies with L.
monocytogenes revealed a mechanism by which IFNαβ can increase host susceptibility to these infections.
We found that IFNαβ suppresses the activation of macrophages by causing rapid reductions in myeloid cell
expression of the receptor for type II IFN, IFNγ. In the R21 phase of this R21/R33 proposal, we will use novel
reagents and tools developed in our lab to experimentally test whether host-targeted interventions that prevent
down regulation of myeloid cell IFNGR by IFNαβ have therapeutic effects in the context of mucosal and
systemic bacterial infections. In Aim 1, we will investigate whether transgenic mice developed in our laboratory
that do not down regulate IFNGR in myeloid cells have increased resistance to systemic and mucosal bacterial
infection. In Aim 2, we use inhibitors of a host kinase that plays a role in IFNGR down regulation to test for
potential pre- and post-exposure therapy. In the R33 phase, we outline our strategy to screen for additional
small molecule inhibitors of IFNGR down regulation. We will also characterize the effects of the SM inhibitors
and identify their host targets. Aim 3 outlines our screening approach and secondary screens we will use to
identify selective small molecule inhibitors of IFNGR down regulation. In Aim 4, we will define the global effects
of these inhibitors on constitutive and IFNαβ-regulated macrophage gene expression and use SM inhibitors to
identify novel host proteins that contribute to IFNGR down regulation by IFNαβ and thus may be targets for
host-directed interventions to treat infectious diseases.
