1 11694524 Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), the activation of which is induced by dsRNA, viral infection, and IFN-gamma, regulates the expression of many antiviral proteins, including PKR, type I IFN, and iNOS.
2 11694524 In this study, we show that IRF-1 is not required for dsRNA + IFN-gamma-stimulated iNOS expression and nitric oxide production by mouse islets.
3 11694524 In contrast to islets, dsRNA + IFN-gamma fails to induce iNOS expression or nitric oxide production by macrophages isolated from IRF-1(-/-) mice; however, dsRNA + IFN-gamma induces similar levels of IL-1 release by macrophages isolated from both IRF-1(-/-) and IRF-1(+/+) mice.
4 11694524 These results indicate that IRF-1 is required for dsRNA + IFN-gamma-induced iNOS expression and nitric oxide production by mouse peritoneal macrophages but not by mouse islets.
5 11694524 These findings suggest that dsRNA + IFN-gamma stimulates iNOS expression by two distinct PKR-independent mechanisms; one that is IRF-1-dependent in macrophages and another that is IRF-1-independent in islets.
