Regulation of Hepatitis C Virus Replication by Interferon Regulatory Factor 1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cellular antiviral responses are mediated partly by the expression of interferon-stimulated genes, triggered by viral genomes, their transcripts and replicative intermediates. Persistent replication of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon suggests that the replicon does not elicit cellular innate antiviral responses.

Of Mice and Men and Cattle: Functions of the Pneumovirus Nonstructural Proteins NS1 and NS2 in Interferon Escape [PDF]
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), family Paramyxoviridae, subfamily Pneumovirinae, is a major etiological agent of respiratory tract disease in calves. A peculiarity of pneumoviruses is the presence of two unique nonstructural protein genes, NS1

Identification of the DNA sequence interacting with Kaposis sarcoma-associated herpesvirus viral interferon regulatory factor 1 [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma. The open reading frame (K9) of KSHV encodes viral interferon regulatory factor 1 (vIRF1), which functions as a repressor of interferon-mediated signal ...

Molecular characterization of interferon regulatory factor 1 in Bubalus bubalis
Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) is functionally diverse in the regulation of immune response and is considered to be an important candidate gene for studying disease susceptibility in mammals. In this paper, we characterized the whole sequence of the IRF1 gene in river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and compared genomic and the amino acid sequences ...

17β-Estradiol downregulates interferon regulatory factor-1 in murine splenocytes [PDF]
Abstract Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is an important transcription factor that mediates interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced cell-signaling events. In this study, we examined whether 17β-estradiol alters IRF-1 in splenic lymphocytes, in view of the immunomodulatory effects of this natural female sex hormone including its ability to

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes four viral interferon regulatory factors (vIRF-1-4). We investigated the mechanism and consequences of vIRF-2-mediated inhibition of interferon-response element signalling following type 1 interferon

A central role of interferon regulatory factor-1 for the limitation of neointimal hyperplasia [PDF]
Neointima formation, the leading cause of restenosis after catheter angioplasty, is a paradigm for vascular proliferative responses. Neointima formation is self-limiting after a variable degree of tissue growth, causing significant renarrowing in a substantial number of patients.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression. It has been reported that miRNAs are involved in host-virus interaction, but evidence that cellular miRNAs promote virus replication has been limited.

miR-23a targets interferon regulatory factor 1 and modulates cellular proliferation and paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in gastric adenocarcinoma cells. [PDF]
MicroRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs that function as key regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In our previous research, we found that miR-23a was significantly up-regulated in human gastric adenocarcinoma cells.
