Research Abstract

cDNA microarray analyses revealed increased mRNA levels of interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE)-driven genes such as MxA (myxovirus resistance A) and 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase in Niemann-pick disease type C (NPC) human skin fibroblasts. Of the proteins located upstream to ISRE, levels of STArs (signal transducers and activators of transcription) were increased in these cells. Similar increases in STAT levels were detected in extracts from NPC1-deficient CHO cells and NPC mouse brain and liver. In NPC mouse brain sections, reactive glial cells contained high STAT-3 immunoreactivity. Conditioned media from NPC fibroblasts contained high levels of proinflammatory cytokines interferon-β, IL-6, IL-8 and had activities to induce luciferase expression driven by ISRE, STAT-3 as well as GAS, and also to induce MxA expression in control cells. The activities to induce expression of ISRE-driven luciferase and MxA were absorbed by a neutralizing antibody against interferon-β whereas activities to induce expression of STAT-3-or GAS-driven luciferase were absorbed by a neutralizing antibody against IL-6. These results suggest constitutive activation of STAT signaling due to proinflammatory cytokines both in cultured NPC cells and mouse tissues.
