STAT-1{alpha} and IFN-{gamma} as Modulators of TNF-{alpha} Signaling in Macrophages: Regulation and Functional Implications of the TNF Receptor 1:STAT-1{alpha} Complex1

TNF-{alpha} and IFN-{gamma} cooperate in the activation of macrophages. TNF-{alpha}-dependent activation of NF-{kappa}B is stronger in the presence of IFN-{gamma}. STAT-1{alpha} associates with TNFR1 in TNF-{alpha}-treated cells, and this association attenuates TNF-{alpha}-mediated NF-{kappa}B activation. We hypothesized that nuclear localization of STAT-1{alpha} due to IFN-{gamma} signaling would preclude it from being recruited to the TNFR1 and therefore enhance TNF-{alpha}-induced NF-{kappa}B activation. In the RAW264.7 macrophage cell line, TNF-{alpha} treatment indeed recruits STAT-1{alpha} to the TNFR1, and this association is abrogated when cells are exposed to IFN-{gamma}. TNF-{alpha} treatment induces a more robust activation of NF-{kappa}B in STAT-1{alpha}-deficient cells, and restoration of STAT-1{alpha} inhibits TNF-{alpha}-dependent NF-{kappa}B activation. Our results suggest that a receptor-proximal level of cross-talk exists between these two cytokine pathways: IFN-{gamma} limits STAT-1{alpha} availability to the TNFR1 by depleting STAT-1{alpha} from the cytoplasm, thus allowing for optimal NF-{kappa}B activation upon TNF-{alpha} ligation.
