The Interferon Stimulated Gene 54 Promotes Apoptosis

Abstract: The ability of interferons (IFNs) to inhibit viral replication and cellular proliferation is well established, but the specific contribution of each IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) to these biological responses remains to be completely understood. In this report we demonstrate that ISG54, also known as IFN-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (IFIT2), is a mediator of apoptosis. Expression of ISG54, independent of IFN stimulation, elicits apoptotic cell death. Cell death and apoptosis were quantified by … Show more

“…A number of IFN response genes have been linked to growth inhibition, senescence and apoptosis [49][50][51][52]. Our results suggest that under normal conditions, IFN-related genes are mostly repressed by the BRCA2 complex, and this repression is released in BRCA2 knockout cells.…”

“…[13][14][15][16] IFIT2 regulates the functions of cell cycle, apoptosis, tumor colonization and viral replication, which confer cellular resistance to viral infections and regulates proliferation, apoptosis and migration of cancer cells. [17][18][19][20] In this report, we found that curcumin induced expression of interferon regulatory genes (especially IFIT2) in luekemia cell U937. upregulation of IFIT2 by exogenous expressing or treating with IFNg in K562 increased cells apoptosis and enhanced anticancer effect of curcumin.…”

“…IFIT2 has been demonstrated involved in anticancer process of other agents, but its role in the treatment of leukemia by curcumin still unknown. 26,27 Several researchers have shown that IFIT2 can induce apoptosis via a mitochondrial pathway dependent on Bcl ¡ 2 28,29 , and curcumin has been reported inducing apoptosis via BCL ¡ 2 signaling pathway as well. [30][31][32] The previous study suggested that BCR-ABL kinase domain inhibited the expression of ISRE-containing genes, 33 which could in part associated with resistant of K562.…”

“…Clinically, these two interferons have been used with several success rates on the cases of keloid and burns [9]. Interferon can regulate the expression of genes related to apoptosis of fibroblast cell and sensitize several types of cell on the apoptosis stimuli, but the side effect limits the use of this therapy at last for prophylactic of scar and keloid [25], [26].…”
