Human Gene Set: GSE14386_UNTREATED_VS_IFNA_TREATED_ACT_PBMC_MS_PATIENT_UP


Standard name GSE14386_UNTREATED_VS_IFNA_TREATED_ACT_PBMC_MS_PATIENT_UP
Systematic name M2977
Brief description Genes up-regulated in peripheral blood mononclear cells (PBMC) from multiple sclerosis (MS) patient: untreated versus IFNB1 [GeneID=3456].
Full description or abstract IFN?, an effective therapy against relapsing-remitting (RR) multiple sclerosis (MS) is naturally secreted during the innate immune response against viral pathogens. The objective of this study was to characterize the immunomodulatory mechanisms of IFN? targeting innate immune response and their effects on DC-mediated regulation of T-cell differentiation. We found that IFN??1a in-vitro treatment of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) induced the expression of TLR7 and the members of its downstream signaling pathway, including myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK)4, and TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)6, while it inhibited the expression of IL-1R. Using siRNA TLR7 gene silencing, we confirmed that IFN?-1a-induced changes in MyD88, IRAK4 and IL-1R expression were dependent on TLR7. TLR7 expression was also necessary for the IFN?-1a-induced inhibition of IL-1? and IL-23, and the induction of IL-27 secretion by DCs. Supernatant (SN) transfer experiments confirmed that IFN?-1a-induced changes in DCs? cytokine secretion inhibit Th17 cell differentiation as evidenced by the inhibition of retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear hormone receptor C (RORC) and IL-17A gene expression and IL-17A secretion. Our study has identified a novel therapeutic mechanism of IFN??1a, that selectively targets the autoimmune response in MS.

We need your help: Update on GSEA/MSigDB funding support

Last November we submitted a proposal to NCI's Information Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) program for the continued funding of GSEA and MSigDB. Unfortunately, our proposal was not funded in this round, but we were encouraged to resubmit for the next one. This funding is critical for our continuing support and enhancement of the GSEA-MSigDB resource.

For our original submission many of you sent us emails of support, an important requirement for these grants. We now ask for your help again. We would greatly appreciate a short email message from you describing how the resource has been of value to your work and any concerns you may have about its continued availability.

Please send us your message of support to gsea-los@broadinstitute.org on or before Monday June 5, 2023.

Thanks in advance for your help and support.
The GSEA/MSigDB Team.
