Cloning and sequencing of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interferon regulatory factor 7
Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...
متن کاملInterferon 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 کاملErythromycin promotes monocyte to macrophage differentiation.
Recent reports have suggested that long-term administration of erythromycin (EM) appears to ameliorate some of chronic inflammatory processes where macrophages and lymphocytes play important roles. Our study was initiated to examine the effect of EM on monocyte-macrophage lineage in vitro. EM (1 approximately 100 micrograms/ml) significantly increased the number of adherent monocyte-derived mac...
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 کاملTranscription factors that regulate monocyte/macrophage differentiation.
Although all the cells in an organism contain the same genetic information, differences in the cell phenotype arise from the expression of lineage-specific genes. During myelopoiesis, external differentiating signals regulate the expression of a set of transcription factors. The combined action of these transcription factors subsequently determines the expression of myeloid-specific genes and t...
