Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
16920161 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
18032529 Recombinant human IFN-alpha 2b causes programmed cell death in nondiseased renal epithelial cells. IFN-alpha-induced apoptosis is directed by an extrinsic death receptor signaling pathway, amplified by an intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.
17880940 IFNalpha is able to interfere with IL-6 signaling by inhibiting STAT3 activity and the abrogation of STAT3 activity accounts for the ability of IFNalpha to induce apoptosis in myeloma cells.
18005734 we propose that HIV-1 expresses Vpu to counteract an IFNalpha-induced, general host defense that inhibits dissemination of enveloped virions from the surface of infected cells.
16697656 In vivo induction of ITGA-11 is detected in spleen and lungs of human recombinant IFN-alpha 2-treated BALB/c mice.
16171819 Data describe the mapping of the complete binding region of IFNAR1 on IFNalpha2 using a panel of 21 single alanine mutant proteins.
17116765 Plasmacytoid dendritic cells in atherosclerotic plaque sense microbial motifs and amplify cytolytic T-cell functions. IFN-alpha emerged as a potent regulator of T-cell function.
17477817 study reports that, in addition to promoting T cell chemotaxis, IFN-alpha2 enhances T cell adhesion to integrin ligands, which is associated with integrin clustering on the T cell surface and enhanced conjugate formation with dendritic cells
15004750 Possession of the IFNA17 polymorphism (551T-->G), with higher levels of IFN-alpha significantly increases the risk of sarcoidosis.
16920161 Findings indicate that the deletion in the promoter of the IFN-alpha-2 gene reduces the transcription of this gene in vitro and this could also be one cause of susceptibility to hepatitis B.
