Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 in the Pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by multiple genetic risk factors, high levels of interferon alpha (IFN-α), and the production of autoantibodies against components of the cell nucleus. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor which induces the transcription of IFN-α and other cytokines, and genetic variants of IRF5 have been strong...
متن کاملType I interferon in the pathogenesis of lupus.
Investigations of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have applied insights from studies of the innate immune response to define IFN-I, with IFN-α as the dominant mediator, as central to the pathogenesis of this prototype systemic autoimmune disease. Genetic association data identify regulators of nucleic acid degradation and components of TLR-independent, endosomal TLR-dependent, and IF...
متن کاملInterferons and Interferon Regulatory Factors in Malaria
Malaria is one of the most serious infectious diseases in humans and responsible for approximately 500 million clinical cases and 500 thousand deaths annually. Acquired adaptive immune responses control parasite replication and infection-induced pathologies. Most infections are clinically silent which reflects on the ability of adaptive immune mechanisms to prevent the disease. However, a minor...
متن کاملInterferon-Regulatory Factors Determine Macrophage Phenotype Polarization
The mononuclear phagocyte system regulates tissue homeostasis as well as all phases of tissue injury and repair. To do so changing tissue environments alter the phenotype of tissue macrophages to assure their support for sustaining and amplifying their respective surrounding environment. Interferon-regulatory factors are intracellular signaling elements that determine the maturation and gene tr...
متن کاملInterferon regulatory factors in heart: stress response beyond inflammation.
C ardiac hypertrophy and pathological remodeling are hallmarks of cardiomyopathy associated with many pathological stressors, such as mechanic overload, oxidative injury, hormonal stimulation, or viral infection. Transcriptional regulation is key to this process, involving well-established transcription factors, such as NFAT, GATA, MEF2, and NF-κB among others. 1 They function as the downstream...
