    Abstract Apoptosis requires tightly regulated cell death pathways. The signaling pathways that trigger a cell to undergo apoptosis after UV radiation are cell type specific and are currently being defined. Here, we have used pharmacological and genetic tools to demonstrate the decisive part of the mitochondrial pathway in UVC-induced apoptosis in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). UVC-induced apoptosis proceeded independent of the activation of death receptor components. In contrast, soon after UV radiation, MAPK activation and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased, followed by a decline in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cytochrome c release, as well as activation of caspase-9 and -3 and the upregulation of p47-phox. Deficiency of apaf-1, a critical member of the apoptosome, dramatically abolished all the UV-induced signal deterioration and cell death. In parallel, UVC-induced apoptosis was largely attenuated by either DN-caspase-9 or Bcl-X(L) overexpression. Pretreatment of cells with N-acetylcysteine or catalase but not Tempol decreased UVC-induced MAPK activation and apoptosis. Inhibition of JNK and caspase attenuated p47-phox upregulation. Altogether, we have for the first time demonstrated the critical role of Apaf-1 in the regulation of MAPK, ROS, and MMP in UVC-radiated MEFs and propose that the amplification feedback loop among mitochondrial signal molecules culminates in the demise of the cell.

    Abstract STAT1 is the main signal transducer for type I and II IFNs and plays a central role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. We used Stat1-deficient mice to test the role of donor Stat1 in MHC-matched minor histocompatibility antigen-mismatched (mHA-mismatched) and fully MHC-mismatched models of bone marrow transplantation. Lack of Stat1 in donor splenocytes reduced graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in both immunogenetic disparities, leading to substantially attenuated morbidity and mortality. Donor Stat1 deficiency resulted in reduced alloantigen-induced activation and expansion of donor T cells and correlated with the expansion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs in vivo. This expansion of Tregs was further confirmed by studies showing that Stat1 deficiency promoted the proliferation, while inhibiting the apoptosis, of natural Tregs, and that absence of Stat1 enhanced the induction of inducible Tregs both in vitro and in vivo. Ex vivo expanded Stat1-/- Tregs were superior to wild-type Tregs in suppressing alloantigen-driven expansion of T cells in vitro and in inhibiting the development of GVHD. These observations demonstrate that Stat1 is a regulator of Tregs and that targeting Stat1 in CD4+ T cells may facilitate in vitro and in vivo expansion of Tregs for therapeutic use.
