Ectopic 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 کاملDifferential viral induction of distinct interferon-alpha genes by positive feedback through interferon regulatory factor-7.
Interferon (IFN) genes are among the earliest transcriptional responses to virus infection of mammalian cells. Although the regulation of the IFNbeta gene has been well characterized, the induction of the large family of IFNalpha genes has remained obscure. We report that the IFNalpha genes can be divided into two groups: an immediate-early response gene (IFNalpha4) which is induced rapidly and...
متن کاملCytokine-inducible CD40 expression in human endothelial cells is mediated by interferon regulatory factor-1.
Given the significance of CD40-CD40 ligand interactions in chronic inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis, the transcriptional regulation of CD40 expression as a potential therapeutic target was investigated in human umbilical vein cultured endothelial cells. Exposure to interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) plus tumor necrosis factor-alpha resulted in a marked synergistic de novo expression of...
متن کاملCloning 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 کاملInducible Expression of Human Gamma Interferon
Background:The premature termination of high producer clones, which will be killed due to cell proliferation and proteins production antagonism, is one of the basic drawback in recombinant proteins technology. Furtheremore, it is supposed some toxic proteins like interferon which we intended to clone and express, inhibit host cells’ proliferation. So, it is necessary to tightly control IFN-γ pr...
