نویسندگان
چکیده
Other names: IRF-4; NF-EM5; LSIRF (lymphocytespecific interferon regulatory factor); MUM1 (multiple myeloma oncogene 1) HGNC (Hugo): IRF4 Location: 6p25.3 Local order: IRF4 is located on chromosome 6 at the telomeric extremity of the short arm, and lies between the DUSP22 (dual specificity phosphatase 22) and EXOC2 (exocyst complex component 2) genes. Note: IRF4 belongs to the IRF (interferon regulatory factors) family of genes, that are known to be active in the control of B-cell proliferation and differentiation.

Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4) Interacts with NFATc2 to Modulate Interleukin 4 Gene Expression
Proteins of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family of transcription factors are critical for lymphocyte activation in the immune system. In particular, NFATs are important regulators of inducible IL-4 gene expression. Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is an immune system-restricted interferon regulatory factor that is required for lymphocyte activation, but its molecular func...
متن کاملInterferon Regulatory Factor 4 controls TH1 cell effector function and metabolism
The transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4) is essential for TH2 and TH17 cell formation and controls peripheral CD8+ T cell differentiation. We used Listeria monocytogenes infection to characterize the function of IRF4 in TH1 responses. IRF4-/- mice generated only marginal numbers of listeria-specific TH1 cells. After transfer into infected mice, IRF4-/- CD4+ T cells failed ...
متن کاملInterferon regulatory factor 4 regulates thymocyte differentiation by repressing Runx3 expression.
The transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) was originally found to be preferentially expressed in lymphoid cells and to be required for the function, differentiation, and homeostasis of both mature T and B lymphocytes. Recent studies have indicated that IRF4 is also involved in early B-cell development. However, the role of IRF4 in intrathymic T-cell development remains unkn...
متن کاملInterferon Regulatory Factor 4 Regulates Obesity-Induced Inflammation Through Regulation of Adipose Tissue Macrophage Polarization
Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) play functionally diverse roles in the transcriptional regulation of the immune system. We have previously shown that several IRFs are regulators of adipogenesis and that IRF4 is a critical transcriptional regulator of adipocyte lipid handling. However, the functional role of IRF4 in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) remains unclear, despite high expression ...
متن کاملEnhanced TCR-induced Apoptosis in Interferon Regulatory Factor 4–deficient CD4+ Th Cells
Transcription factors of the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family contribute to the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Here, we show that CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells lacking IRF4 (IRF4(-/-)) are highly sensitive to apoptosis. After infection of IRF4(-/-) mice with the protozoan parasite Leishmania major, the lesion-draining lymph nodes developed the prototypic lymphadenopathy o...
