Bunyaviruses and the Type I Interferon System [PDF]
The family Bunyaviridae contains more than 350 viruses that are distributed throughout the world. Most members of the family are transmitted by arthopods, and several cause disease in man, domesticated animals and crop plants. Despite being recognized as

Retrotransposable elements are harmful at several levels, and host surveillance systems fail to consider all these elements in severe effects. The key role of retrotransposon in aging and age-associated diseases remains unclear. We summarise whether LINE-

Paramyxovirus V proteins interact with the RNA helicase LGP2 to inhibit RIG-I-dependent interferon induction [PDF]
This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant AL087751/B)RIG-I and mda-5 are activated by viral RNA and stimulate type I interferon production. Laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) shares homology with RIG-I and mda-5 but lacks the CARD ...

Interfering with interferon: developing a reporter system to study the interaction between hepatitus C viral proteins and the interferon signalling pathway [PDF]
PhDThe aim of the project was to investigate the mechanism by which HCV evades therapeutic IFN treatment. This involved the development of novel testing systems and their application to patient samples.

Type I interferons modulate autophagy to shape gemcitabine response in pancreatic cancer cells. [PDF]
Type I interferons differentially modulate autophagy and the response of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. IFNα2b stimulates autophagic flux and protects cells from gemcitabine‐induced cell death, contributing to chemoresistance. In contrast, IFNβ1a inhibits autophagosome formation and enhances gemcitabine‐induced cell death, resulting in ...

The regulation of type I interferon production by paramyxoviruses [PDF]
Research supported by The Wellcome Trust (087751/A/08/Z)Experimentally, paramyxoviruses are conventionally considered good inducers of type I interferons (IFN-alpha/beta), and have been used as agents in the commercial production of human IFN-alpha ...

Chikungunya virus nonstructural protein 2 inhibits type I/II interferon-stimulated JAK-STAT signaling [PDF]
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging human pathogen transmitted by mosquitoes. Like that of other alphaviruses, CHIKV replication causes general host shutoff, leading to severe cytopathicity in mammalian cells, and inhibits the ability of infected ...

Shared and Unique Features of Human Interferon-Beta and Interferon-Alpha Subtypes
Type I interferons (IFN-I) were first discovered as an antiviral factor by Isaacs and Lindenmann in 1957, but they are now known to also modulate innate and adaptive immunity and suppress proliferation of cancer cells.

Loss of Ifnar1 in Pancreatic Acinar Cells Ameliorates the Disease Course of Acute Pancreatitis. [PDF]
Type I interferon constitutes an essential component of the combinational therapy against viral disease. Acute pancreatitis is one side effect of type I interferon-based therapy, implying that activation of type I interferon signaling affects the ...
