Disease relevance of CIITA

 

High impact information on CIITA

  • The study of RFX and CIITA has made major contributions to our comprehension of the molecular mechanisms controlling MHCII genes and has made this system into a textbook model for the regulation of gene expression [7].
  • A genetic complementation cloning approach has led to the isolation of CIITA and RFX5, two essential MHC-II gene transactivators [8].
  • Naip5 is involved in host resistance to Legionella pneumophila through cell autonomous mechanisms, whereas CIITA plays a critical role in antigen presentation and development of antigen-specific T lymphocytes [9].
  • We conclude that polymorphisms in Mhc2ta and MHC2TA result in differential MHC molecule expression and are associated with susceptibility to common complex diseases with inflammatory components [10].
  • METHODS: To elucidate the genetic defect in patients with MHC class II deficiency that was not classified genetically, we performed direct complementation assays with the three genes known to regulate the expression of MHC class II genes, CIITA, RFX5, and RFXAP, and the relevant mutations were identified in each patient [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CIITA

  • We suggest that the high endogenous cortisol level observed in septic shock may be a possible new factor involved in the loss of HLA-DR expression on monocytes via its effect on HLA-DR and CIITA transcription [12].
  • Expression of the gene encoding the transactivator CIITA in C6 gliomas using an EBV-based transduction system led to induction of MHC I and II and thereby mimicked therapeutic responses that could not operate in syngeneic models [13].
 

Biological context of CIITA

 

Anatomical context of CIITA

  • In contrast to these events, fetal trophoblast-like cell lines, which are refractory to CIITA induction by IFN-gamma, failed to assemble the above factors or modify their chromatin, suggesting that accessibility to the promoter is blocked [17].
  • Together, these results argue for an important role of DNA hyper-methylation in the control of CIITA expression in leukemic T cells [18].
  • The class II trans-activator (CIITA), which acts as a master regulator for expression of MHC class II genes, is expressed constitutively in mature B cells [19].
  • The lack of invariant chain expression correlated with lack of CIITA-mediated transactivation of the invariant chain promoter in transient transfection assays in SSI fibroblast cells [20].
  • This is the first evidence that phagocytosis of bacteria can down-modulate HLA class II expression in normal human macrophages by acting at the level of expression of CIITA [21].
 

Associations of CIITA with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CIITA

 

Enzymatic interactions of CIITA

  • The decrease in CIITA expression by PKCdelta inhibition was in part due to the reduced recruitment of serine 727-phosphorylated Stat1 and histone acetyltransferases to the CIITA promoter [29].
 

Regulatory relationships of CIITA

 

Other interactions of CIITA

  • It also demonstrates the coordinated regulation of CIITA, CARM1, and the acetyltransferase cyclic-AMP response element binding (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) during this process [16].
  • The culture supernatant containing IFN-alpha/beta, on the other hand, inhibited MHC class II expression without affecting STAT1 and CIITA expression [33].
  • It cooperates with IRF-1 in the activation of the CIITA type IV promoter and can co-occupy the IRF-E of the promoter with IRF-1 [34].
  • The most upstream module consists of the enhancer A and ISRE, and mediates constitutive and cytokine induced expression, whereas the SXY module is important for the constitutive and CIITA-mediated transactivation of MHC class I genes [35].
  • HLA-F is inducible by NF-kappaB through the kappaB1 site of enhancer A, is responsive to IFN-gamma through the ISRE, and is inducible by CIITA [35].
