23864729AIM2, an IFN-inducible cytosolic DNA sensor, in the development of benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer
23864729Recent studies have indicated that the IFN-inducible AIM2 protein is a cytosolic DNA sensor in macrophages and keratinocytes
23864729Activation of the AIM2 inflammasome cleaves pro-interleukin (IL)-1beta and pro-IL-18 and promotes the secretion of IL-1beta and IL-18 proinflammatory cytokines
23864729It was determined that IFNs (alpha, beta, or gamma) induced AIM2 expression in human prostate epithelial cells and cytosolic DNA activated the AIM2 inflammasome
23864729Steady-state levels of the AIM2 mRNA were higher in BPH than in normal prostate tissue
23864729However, the levels of AIM2 mRNA were significantly lower in clinical tumor specimens
23864729Accordingly, constitutive levels of AIM2 mRNA and protein were lower in a subset of prostate cancer cells as compared with BPH cells
23864729IMPLICATIONS: The AIM2 inflammasome has a fundamental role in the generation of human prostatic diseases
21471287Differential roles for the interferon-inducible IFI16 and AIM2 innate immune sensors for cytosolic DNA in cellular senescence of human fibroblasts
21471287The IFN-inducible IFI16 and AIM2 proteins act as innate immune sensors for cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)
21471287On sensing dsDNA, the IFI16 protein induces the expression of IFN-beta whereas the AIM2 protein forms an inflammasome, which promotes the secretion of IL-1beta
21471287Given that the knockdown of IFI16 expression in human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) delays the onset of cellular senescence, we investigated the potential roles for the IFI16 and AIM2 proteins in cellular senescence
21471287In contrast, increased levels of the AIM2 protein in the senescent (vs
21471287The knockdown of type I IFN-alpha receptor subunit, which reduced the basal levels of the IFI16 but not of the AIM2, protein delayed the onset of cellular senescence
21471287Accordingly, increased constitutive levels of IFI16 and AIM2 proteins in ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) HDFs were associated with the activation of the IFN signaling and increased levels of IL-1beta
21471287The IFN-beta treatment of the young HDFs, which induced the expression of IFI16 and AIM2 proteins, activated a DNA damage response and also increased basal levels of IL-1beta
21471287Interestingly, the knockdown of AIM2 expression in HDFs increased the basal levels of IFI16 protein and activated the IFN signaling
21471287Collectively, our observations show differential roles for the IFI16 and AIM2 proteins in cellular senescence and associated secretory phenotype
