Interferon regulatory factor-2 drives megakaryocytic differentiation.
IRFs [IFN (interferon) regulatory factors] constitute a family of transcription factors involved in IFN signalling and in the development and differentiation of the immune system. IRF-2 has generally been described as an antagonist of IRF-1-mediated transcription of IFN and IFN-inducible genes; however, it has been recently identified as a transcriptional activator of some genes, such as those ...
متن کاملEctopic expression of interferon regulatory factor-1 potentiates granulocytic differentiation.
Numerous transcription factors allow haematopoietic cells to respond to lineage- and stage-specific cytokines and to act as their effectors. It is increasingly evident that the interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) transcription factor can selectively regulate different sets of genes depending on the cell type and/or the nature of cellular stimuli, evoking distinct responses in each. In the pr...
متن کاملInterferon regulatory factor 8 integrates T-cell receptor and cytokine-signaling pathways and drives effector differentiation of CD8 T cells.
We recently demonstrated that differentiation of cytotoxic T cells requires cooperation between T-cell receptor (TCR)/costimulation and γc-cytokines. Here we demonstrate that the transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) is expressed in CD8 T cells by the combination of these two signals. More importantly, depletion of IRF8 in these cells abrogated the differentiation of naive CD8 T c...
متن کاملInterferon Regulatory Factor (Irf)-1 and Irf-2 Regulate Interferon γ–Dependent Cyclooxygenase 2 Expression
Cyclooxygenases (Cox) are rate-limiting enzymes that initiate the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostanoids. Cox-2 is the inducible isoform that is upregulated by proinflammatory agents, initiating many prostanoid-mediated pathological aspects of inflammation. In this study, we demonstrate that interferon (IFN)-gamma alone or in synergy with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin 1alpha in...
