Calcineurin/NFAT signalling inhibits myeloid haematopoiesis
Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) comprises a family of transcription factors that regulate T cell development, activation and differentiation. NFAT signalling can also mediate granulocyte and dendritic cell (DC) activation, but it is unknown whether NFAT influences their development fro...

| description | Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) comprises a family of transcription
factors that regulate T cell development, activation and differentiation. NFAT
signalling can also mediate granulocyte and dendritic cell (DC) activation, but it is
unknown whether NFAT influences their development from progenitors. Here, we
report a novel role for calcineurin/NFAT signalling as a negative regulator of
myeloid haematopoiesis. Reconstituting lethally irradiated mice with haematopoietic
stem cells expressing an NFAT-inhibitory peptide resulted in enhanced
development of the myeloid compartment. Culturing bone marrow cells in media
supplemented with Flt3-L in the presence of the calcineurin/NFAT inhibitor
Cyclosporin A increased numbers of differentiated DC. Global gene expression
analysis of untreated DC and NFAT-inhibited DC revealed differential expression
of transcripts that regulate cell cycle and apoptosis. In conclusion, these results
provide evidence that calcineurin/NFAT signalling negatively regulates myeloid
lineage development. The finding that inhibition of NFAT enhances myeloid
development provides a novel insight into understanding how the treatment
with drugs targeting calcineurin/NFAT signalling influence the homeostasis of the
innate immune system. |
