Regulation of Apoptosis in Myeloid Cells by Interferon Consensus Sequence–Binding Protein

Open access

Abstract

Mice with a null mutation of the gene encoding interferon consensus sequence–binding protein (ICSBP) develop a disease with marked expansion of granulocytes and macrophages that frequently progresses to a fatal blast crisis, thus resembling human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). One important feature of CML is decreased responsiveness of myeloid cells to apoptotic stimuli. Here we show that myeloid cells from mice deficient in ICSBP exhibit reduced spontaneous apoptosis and a significant decrease in sensitivity to apoptosis induced by DNA damage. In contrast, apoptosis in thymocytes from ICSBP-deficient mice is unaffected. We also show that overexpression of ICSBP in the human U937 monocytic cell line enhances the rate of spontaneous apoptosis and the sensitivity to apoptosis induced by etoposide, lipopolysaccharide plus ATP, or rapamycin. Programmed cell death induced by etoposide was specifically blocked by peptides inhibitory for the caspase-1 or caspase-3 subfamilies of caspases. Studies of proapoptotic genes showed that cells overexpressing ICSBP have enhanced expression of caspase-3 precursor protein. In addition, analyses of antiapoptotic genes showed that overexpression of ICSBP results in decreased expression of Bcl-XL. These data suggest that ICSBP modulates survival of myeloid cells by regulating expression of apoptosis-related genes.

(B) Cells from −/− mice and +/+ littermates were cultured for 1 and 2 d and analyzed for apoptosis by TUNEL assay. Data are representative of three experiments using 10–16-wk-old mice.

Figure 2 Macrophages and granulocytes account for reduced levels of apoptosis in spleen and bone marrow cells of ICSBP−/− mice. Cells from ICSBP−/− mice and ICSBP+/+ littermates were cultured for 18 h alone, with etoposide (10 μg/ml), or with TNF-α (30 ng/ml) plus CHX (10 μg/ml), stained with the indicated Ab, and fixed for TUNEL assays. Data are representative of three experiments using 10–16-wk-old mice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
