IFN-Îł is the major mediator of host resistance against T. gondii but intriguingly, parasite-infected host cells including macrophages are severely impaired to respond to IFN-Îł due to defective transcriptional activation of target genes. Here, we tested the possibility that the impaired responsiveness of T. gondii-infected macrophages to IFN-Îł can be restored by inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDACs) using the class I-specific inhibitor MS-275. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with MS-275 indeed increased MHC class II surface expression in infected and non-infected cells and largely abolished the inhibition of IFN-Îł-regulated MHC class II expression exerted by T. gondii. Genome-wide transcriptome profiling revealed that MS-275 increased mean mRNA levels of IFN-Îł-regulated genes particularly in non-infected macrophages. Transcript levels of 33% of IFN-Îł secondary response genes but only those of a few primary response genes were also increased by MS-275 in T. gondii-infected cells. Importantly, the unresponsiveness of parasite-infected cells to IFN-Îł was however not abolished by MS-275. Furthermore, MS-275 also up-regulated several anti-inflammatory cytokines or signaling molecules in T. gondii-infected macrophages. It additionally regulated expression of more than 2500 genes in non-infected macrophages expression of which was surprisingly counteracted by prior infection with T. gondii. FACS analysis and immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that MS-275 did not considerably diminish the number of parasite-positive cells or the intracellular replication in macrophages stimulated or not with IFN-Îł. Thus, a supportive therapy using MS-275 appears inappropriate for treatment of toxoplasmosis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.exppara.2017.02.011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28189488"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62330"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","1090-2449"],["dc.relation.issn","0014-4894"],["dc.title","Histone deacetylase inhibitor MS-275 augments expression of a subset of IFN-Îł-regulated genes in Toxoplasma gondii-infected macrophages but does not improve parasite control"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
