Y Box-Binding Factor Promotes Eosinophil Survival by Stabilizing Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor mRNA

Abstract: Short-lived peripheral blood eosinophils are recruited to the lungs of asthmatics after allergen challenge, where they become long-lived effector cells central to disease pathophysiology. GM-CSF is an important cytokine which promotes eosinophil differentiation, function, and survival after transit into the lung. In human eosinophils, GM-CSF production is controlled by regulated mRNA stability mediated by the 3′ untranslated region, AU-rich elements (ARE). We identified human Y box-binding factor 1 (YB-1) as a… Show more

“…Specific binding of YB-1 to VEGF and GM-CSF mRNAs was independently confirmed by other researchers. 23,24 Consistent with the idea that Akt phosphorylation reduces the repressor activity of YB-1, association of several of these mRNAs with YB-1 was reduced in cells treated with IGF-1. 19 Moreover, a total of 93 transcripts identified in our study were among the 343 messages previously reported to be translationally activated by combined Ras/Akt signaling.…”

“…The time course of the cytoplasmic localization closely correlated with the mesangioproliferative phase of the disease, which peaks between days 3 and 6 (33). This close correlation may suggest that YB-1 acts predominantly as regulator of translational processes at this stage of disease, e.g., by affecting the half-life of cytokine messenger RNA (7,17), or by nonspecifically binding to the 5Ј RNA cap structure (16). Notably, YB-1 regulates the translation of its own mRNA (50), which may explain differences in YB-1 protein and mRNA synthesis after stimulation with PDGF-B.…”

“…Depending on the cellular context, YB-1 may transactivate or -repress target gene transcription (9,10,14,15). In addition, YB-1 binds to mRNA in a nonspecific as well as a specific way, which has profound effects on mRNA translation (16) and mRNA half-lives, e.g., of the IL-2 and GM-CSF genes (7,17). Finally, by means of direct interaction with specific mRNA sequences, YB-1 may affect mRNA splicing, as has been demonstrated for the CD44 and E1A genes (18 -20).…”

“…27,36 It has been reported that YB-1 affects the expression of various proliferative and inflammatory proteins, such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and matrix metalloproteinase-2, at both the transcriptional and translational level. 15,35 YB-1 can herein act both as a transrepressor and a transactivator. The present study shows that as opposed to SMCs, YB-1 overexpression inhibited the expression of CCL5 induced by inflammatory stimulation in macrophages.…”

“…An increased expression of YB-1 in certain inflammatory diseases has been described (eg, by activated eosinophils in allergic asthma, 15 in which YB-1 prolonged their survival and thus exacerbated disease, or by mesangial cells in mesangioproliferative disease 16 ). YB-1 preferentially binds to DNA containing the so-called Y-box or inverted CCAAT box (CTGATTGGC/ TC/TAA).…”
