چکیده
Interferon consensus sequence binding protein (ICSBP), a transcription factor of the interferon (IFN) regulatory factor (IRF) family, binds to the IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) in the regulatory region of IFNs and IFN-stimulated genes (ISG). To identify target genes, which are deregulated by an ICSBP null-mutation in mice (ICSBP-/-), we have analyzed transcription of an ISRE-bearing gene, ISG15. We have found that although ISG15 expression is unchanged in B cells, it is upregulated in macrophages from ICSBP-/- mice. Three factors, ICSBP, IRF-2, and IRF-4/Pip interact with the ISRE in B cells, however only ICSBP and IRF-4/Pip were found to bind this sequence in macrophages of wild-type mice. Although IRF-4 was considered to be a lymphoid-specific factor, we provide evidence for its role in macrophage gene regulation. Our results suggest that the formation of cell-type-specific heteromeric complexes between individual IRFs plays a crucial role in regulating IFN responses.

متن کاملExpression Analysis of Interferon Beta Level in HEK293T Cells Using Real-Time PCR and Protein Tests
Background: Interferons are some kind of natural cytokines which express in response to a variety of antigens including viral RNA, bacterial products, and tumor proteins. Interferon beta is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Moreover, this drug inhibits cellular proliferation as well as angiogenesis and as a result, helps to cure cancer. In this research, i...
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 کاملDifferential expression of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1), IRF-2, and interferon consensus sequence binding protein genes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive and LPS-hyporesponsive macrophages.
Macrophages secrete interferon (IFN), as well as other cytokines, following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. The interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) comprise a family of DNA-binding proteins that have been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of IFN and certain IFN-inducible genes. We therefore characterized basal and LPS-inducible levels of IRF-1, IRF-2, and interferon consensus ...

Introduction: Interferon beta is one of the members of type I interferons. Creating R27T and V101F mutations is one of the important researches performed to improve function, decrease immunogenicity, increase expression and increase half-life of interferon beta. In this study, the effects of R27T and V101F mutations on interferon beta binding to interferon receptors were studied by molecular do...
