Disease relevance of Irf8

 

High impact information on Irf8

  • ICSBP retrovirus-transduced cells differentiated into mature macrophages with phagocytic activity, which coincided with the induction of specific target DNA binding activity [6].
  • Together, ICSBP has a key role in the myeloid cell lineage selection and macrophage maturation [6].
  • ICSBP directs bipotential myeloid progenitor cells to differentiate into mature macrophages [6].
  • Contrary to this, ICSBP transducion led to repression of granulocyte-specific genes and inhibited G-CSF-mediated granulocytic differentiation in these and other myeloid progenitor cells [6].
  • Remarkably, the evolution of Alox15 MPD to leukemia is associated with additional regulation of ICSBP on an RNA level, highlighting the potential usefulness of the Alox15 model for understanding the transition of CML to crisis [7].
 

Biological context of Irf8

 

Anatomical context of Irf8

  • Immature ICSBP(-/-) DCs developed from BM progenitor cells showed assorted defects, did not mature in response to activation signals, and failed to express CD8alpha and interleukin 12 (IL-12) p40, a feature consistent with ICSBP(-/-) DCs in vivo [3].
  • We have found that although ISG15 expression is unchanged in B cells, it is upregulated in macrophages from ICSBP-/- mice [9].
  • However, transduction of retrovirus-ICSBP in the absence of IFN-gamma activation did not induce iNOS expression in either RAW264.7 cells or ICSBP-/- macrophages [10].
  • Once T cells were activated, ICSBP was expressed stably in both Th1 and Th2 cells [11].
  • Unlike other members of the family, ICSBP is expressed exclusively in the immune system [11].
 

Associations of Irf8 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Irf8

 

Regulatory relationships of Irf8

  • In this paper, we investigated whether ICSBP modulates the growth-promoting activity of Bcr/Abl, the causal oncoprotein for CML [18].
  • AML1-ETO inhibits maturation of multiple lymphohematopoietic lineages and induces myeloblast transformation in synergy with ICSBP deficiency [19].
  • Studies of proapoptotic genes showed that cells overexpressing ICSBP have enhanced expression of caspase-3 precursor protein [20].
  • Interferon (IFN) consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP) is an important transcription factor regulating proinflammatory cytokine production and the development of mononuclear phagocytes in vitro [21].
