Variation in Genome-Wide NF-{kappa}B RELA Binding Sites upon Microbial Stimuli and Identification of a Virus Response Profile [SYSTEMS IMMUNOLOGY]

NF-B transcription factors are master regulators of the innate immune response. Activated downstream of pathogen recognition receptors, they regulate the expression of genes to help fight infections as well as recruit the adaptive immune system. NF-B responds to a wide variety of signals, but the processes by which stimulus specificity is attained remain unclear. In this article, we characterized the response of one NF-B member, RELA, to four stimuli mimicking infection in human nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Comparing genome-wide RELA binding, we observed stimulus-specific sites, although most sites overlapped across stimuli. Specifically, the response to poly I:C (mimicking viral dsRNA and signaling through TLR3) induced a distinct RELA profile, binding in the vicinity of antiviral genes and correlating with corresponding gene expression. This group of binding sites was also enriched in IFN regulatory factor motifs and showed overlapping with IFN regulatory factor binding sites. A novel NF-B target, OASL, was further validated and showed TLR3-specific activation. This work showed that some RELA DNA binding sites varied in activation response following different stimulations and that interaction with more specialized factors could help achieve this stimulus-specific activity. Our data provide a genomic view of regulated host response to different pathogen stimuli.
