Human Gene Set: KRASNOSELSKAYA_ILF3_TARGETS_DN


Standard name KRASNOSELSKAYA_ILF3_TARGETS_DN
Systematic name M12166
Brief description Down-regulated in GHOST(3)CXCR4 cells (osteosarcoma) upon ectopic expression of ILF3 [GeneID=3609].
Full description or abstract Viral infection triggers a cascade of interferon response genes, but the mechanisms that prime such innate antiviral defenses are poorly understood. Among candidate cellular mediators of the antiviral response are the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding proteins. Here we show that a C-terminal variant of the ubiquitous dsRNA-binding protein, nuclear factor 90 (NF90ctv), can activate the interferon response genes in the absence of viral infection. NF90ctv-expressing cells were infected with the syncytium-inducing HIV-1 strain NL4-3 and were shown to inhibit viral replication. To gain insight into this mechanism of protection, we analyzed the expression profiles of NF90ctv-positive cells as compared with parental cells transduced with the empty vector. Of the 5600 genes represented on the expression arrays, 90 displayed significant (4-fold or more) changes in mRNA levels in NF90-expressing cells. About 50% are known interferon alpha/beta-stimulated genes. The microarray expression data were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis of six representative interferon-inducible genes. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that the biological response is mediated by the activation of transcription factors in NF90ctv-expressing cells. Functional significance of the activated transcription complex was evaluated by transfection assays with luciferase reporter constructs driven by the interferon-inducible promoter from the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (p69) gene. Resistance to HIV-1, caused by the expression of NF90ctv in the cell culture system, appears to be mediated in part by the induction of interferon response genes. This leads to a hypothesis as to the mechanism of action of NF90 in mediating endogenous antiviral responses.
