Disease relevance of Ifnb1

 

Psychiatry related information on Ifnb1

  • None of the mouse IFNs tested (IFN-alpha/beta, IFN-beta, and IFN-gamma, 3 x 10(5) U/kg, i.v.) changed the immobility time or the spontaneous locomotor activity in mice [5].
 

High impact information on Ifnb1

  • Evidence has been provided that a mouse nuclear factor, termed interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of the human IFN-beta gene and mediates virus-induced transcription of the gene [6].
  • This IFN-beta gene induction mechanism is distinct from that induced by virus, and is dependent on c-Fos itself [1].
  • They furthermore initiate the production of IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and interleukins 12 and 18, all of which foster Th1 responses and enhance cell-mediated immunity [7].
  • Induction of endogenous IFN-alpha and IFN-beta genes by a regulatory transcription factor, IRF-1 [8].
  • The expression of HPV16 E6 in primary human keratinocytes inhibits the induction of IFNbeta mRNA following Sendai virus infection [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ifnb1

 

Biological context of Ifnb1

  • HMG I(Y) specifically interacts with the basic-leucine zipper region of ATF-2(195), and HMG I(Y) binds to two sites immediately flanking the ATF-2 binding site of the IFN-beta promoter [15].
  • We have recently demonstrated that TLR2 agonists poorly induce a subset of TLR4-inducible proinflammatory genes (e.g., inducible protein (IP)-10, inducible NO synthase (iNOS), monocyte chemoattractant protein-5, IL-12p40), due in part to differential activation of IFN-beta production and phosphorylation of the transcription factor STAT1 [16].
  • Neutralizing Ab against IFN-beta attenuated TLR4-mediated microglial apoptosis [17].
  • In humans, however, IFN-beta-induced up-regulation of TLR3 was blocked by pretreatment with LPS, despite the efficient induction of IRF-1 [18].
  • IFN-beta alone, however, did not induce a significant cell death [17].
 

Anatomical context of Ifnb1

  • Basal and LPS-induced expression of IFN-beta and IFN-alpha4 mRNA in Tyk2-null macrophages were diminished [19].
  • Low IFN-alpha or IFN-beta doses (500-10(3) U/mouse) down-modulate CD8(+) T cells priming in vivo [20].
  • The results also show that an NK clone, when stimulated with Sendai virus, produced a type 1 IFN (IFN alpha and/or IFN beta), suggesting that murine NK cells can produce both type 1 (alpha and/or beta) and type 2 (gamma) IFN, depending on inducers [21].
  • IFN-gamma and IFN-beta independently stimulate the expression of lipopolysaccharide-inducible genes in murine peritoneal macrophages [22].
  • We suggest that lack of endogenous IFN-beta in CNS leads to augmented microglia activation, resulting in a sustained inflammation, cytokine production, and tissue damage with consequent chronic neurological deficits [4].
 

Associations of Ifnb1 with chemical compounds

  • Toll-like receptor-4 activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces the expression of interferon-beta (IFN-beta) in a MyD88-independent manner [19].
  • Moreover, IFN-alpha or IFN-beta in combination with LPS could also induce NO2- production in macrophages, as was previously reported for IFN-gamma plus LPS [23].
  • The treatment of PM with L-arginine-N(G)-amine (AA), a potent inhibitor of NO-producing enzymes, resulted in a marked accumulation of IFN-alpha4 mRNA and, to a minor extent, of IFN-beta mRNA [24].
  • Our results show that the injection of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), a synthetic dsRNA, into the striatum of the mouse brain induces the activation of astrocytes and the expression of TNF-alpha, IFN-beta, and IP-10 [25].
  • In the presence of cycloheximide, virally induced IFN-beta gene expression of C-76 cells was suppressed, whereas R1 and R2 cells produced IFN-beta 7.5- and 2.2-fold higher than C-76 cells respectively [26].
 

Physical interactions of Ifnb1

  • We show that YY1 specifically binds in vitro and in vivo to the murine IFN-beta promoter at positions -90 and -122 [27].
