Abstract
Type I interferon (IFN-I) plays a crucial role in the antiviral immune response and inflammatory autoimmune diseases by inducing the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Hence, the regulation of ISG expression is fundamental for maintaining immune homeostasis. In this study, we found that PCGF3 negatively regulates the antiviral response by suppressing the expression of ISGs. The deficiency of PCGF3 in innate immune cells results in an augmented expression of ISGs in response to IFN-I stimulation. Mechanistically, PCGF3 is recruited to interferon-stimulated response elements (ISREs) region in an IFN-dependent way, precluding STAT1 from binding to the ISG promoter and diminishing ISRE activity. Additionally, we observed a negative correlation between decreased PCGF3 expression and elevated ISG expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with dermatomyositis (DM). Our findings clarified the epigenetic regulatory role of PCGF3 in inhibiting the excessive expression of ISGs induced by IFN-I under pathological circumstances.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
