Mechanisms of type I interferon action and its role in infections and diseases transmission in mammals.
Interferons (IFNs) are pivotal regulators of immunological processes. This paper describes mainly type I interferons -α and -β and their recently recounted signaling pathways, especially connected with ISGs - interferon stimulated genes, having a crucial role in regulating IFN recruitment. Moreover, the paper shows the data on the role of interferons -α and -β in infections - not only commonly ...
متن کاملMorphological Evolution Is Accelerated among Island Mammals
Dramatic evolutionary changes occur in species isolated on islands, but it is not known if the rate of evolution is accelerated on islands relative to the mainland. Based on an extensive review of the literature, I used the fossil record combined with data from living species to test the hypothesis of an accelerated morphological evolution among island mammals. I demonstrate that rates of morph...
متن کاملInterfering with type I Interferon
Scientists have been investigating the critical role type 1 interferons (IFN-I) play in controlling viral infections for more than 50 y. Common pathogen motifs present on viral particles trigger intracellular and membrane-associated pattern recognition receptors, leading to the production of IFN-I and rapid expression of interferon stimulated genes (ISIGs). ISIGs encode proteins with direct ant...
متن کاملActivation of Type I Interferon Pathway in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Association with Distinct Clinical Phenotypes
Growing evidence over the last few years suggests a central role of type I IFN pathway in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune disorders. Data from clinical and genetic studies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-prone mouse models, indicates that the type I interferon system may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of several lupus and associated clinical featur...
متن کاملType I interferon in systemic autoimmune diseases
Th e hypothesis that type I interferon plays a central role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has gained growing support in recent years [1-4]. Th e early data from the 1970s demonstrating increased functional interferon activity in lupus patient sera have been confi rmed and extended using current technologies that permit detection of the broad gene expression program i...
