Activation of IL-27 p28 gene transcription by interferon regulatory factor 8 in cooperation with interferon regulatory factor 1.
Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family members, especially interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF-8 or ICSBP), play important roles in interferon signaling in a wide range of host responses to infection and tumor growth. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), as a member of the IL-12 cytokine family, not only acts as a proinflammatory cytokine that regulates the diff...
متن کاملRel Induces Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF-4) Expression in Lymphocytes
In lymphocytes, the Rel transcription factor is essential in establishing a pattern of gene expression that promotes cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Here we show that mitogen-induced expression of interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4), a lymphoid-specific member of the IFN family of transcription factors, is Rel dependent. Consistent with IRF-4 functioning as a repress...
متن کاملDetection of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-12 Serum Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis
Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Environmental and genetic factors as well as the immune system participate in this process. Recent studies have attempted to elucidate the role of cytokine networks involved in periodontal diseases. Objective: To assess and compare the levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-...
متن کاملIRF4 (interferon regulatory factor 4)
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 r...
متن کاملassociation of the expression of il-4 and il-13 genes, il-4 and ige serum levels with allergic asthma
immune and inflammatory responses mediated by cytokines, play important roles in the pathophysiology of asthma. these responses are associated with overexpression of th2 cytokines such as il-4 and il-13. these two cytokines use common receptors for signaling that lead to identical immunological effects and regulation of the th1/th2 balance. the aim of this study was to determine whether patient...
