STAT2 is a central component of the ISGF3 transcriptional complex downstream of type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. The significance of in vivo IFN-I/STAT1 signals in cDCs is well-established in the generation of antitumor cytotoxic T cell (CTL) responses. However, the role of STAT2 has remained elusive. Here, we report a clinical correlation between cDC markers and STAT2 associated with better survival in human metastatic melanoma. In a murine tumor transplantation model, targeted Stat2 deletion in CD11c+cDCs enhanced tumor growth unaffected by IFNβ therapy. Furthermore, STAT2 was essential for both, the activation of CD8a+cDCs and CD11b+cDCs and antigen cross-presentation in vivo for the generation of robust T cell killing response. In contrast, STAT2 in CD11c+cDCs was dispensable for stimulating an antigen-specific humoral response, which was impaired in global Stat2 deficient mice. Thus, our studies indicate that STAT2 in cDCs is critical in host IFN-I signals by sculpting CTL responses against tumors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D045142 Cross-Priming Class I-restricted activation of CD8-POSITIVE LYMPHOCYTES resulting from ANTIGEN PRESENTATION of exogenous ANTIGENS (cross-presentation). This is in contrast to normal activation of these lymphocytes (direct-priming) which results from presentation of endogenous antigens. Cross-Presentation,Cross Presentation,Cross Priming
D050795 STAT2 Transcription Factor A signal transducer and activator of transcription that mediates cellular responses to TYPE I INTERFERONS. Stat2 protein is associated constitutively with INTERFERON REGULATORY FACTOR-9. After PHOSPHORYLATION Stat2 forms the IFN-STIMULATED GENE FACTOR 3 COMPLEX to regulate expression of target GENES.
