Bat cells and tissue have elevated basal expression levels of antiviral genes commonly associated with IFNα signalling. Here we show IRF1,3 and 7 levels are elevated in most bat tissues and that basally, IRFs contribute to the expression of type I IFN ligands and high expression of Interferon Regula...

The precise mechanism by which butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut contribute to resistance to respiratory viral infections remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe a gut-lung axis mechanism and report that orally administered Clostridium butyricum (CB) enhances influenza virus infection re...

Transcription factor paralogs may share a common role (e.g. Hox) in staged or overlapping expression in specific tissues. In other examples, members have distinct roles in a range of embryologic, differentiation or response pathways (e.g. Tbx, Pax). For the Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF) famil...

Heightened sterile inflammation and mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction drives the pathophysiology of heart failure in ischemic cardiomyopathy. Yet, the transcriptional regulators within cardiomyocytes driving crosstalk between inflammation and energy metabolism remain ill-defined. Here we identi...

Healthy behavioral patterns could modulate organ functions to enhance the body’s immunity. However, whether exercise regulates antiviral innate immunity remains elusive. Here, we found that exercise promotes type-I IFN (IFN-I) production in the liver and enhances IFN-I immune activity of the body...

Host defense by the innate immune system requires the establishment of antimicrobial states allowing cells to cope with microorganisms before the onset of the adaptive immune response. Interferons (IFN) are of vital importance in the establishment of cell-autonomous antimicrobial immunity. Speed is...

We investigated the roles of IRF-3 and IRF-7 in innate antiviral immunity against dengue virus (DENV). Double-deficient Irf-3-/-7-/- mice infected with the DENV2 strain S221 possessed 1,000-150,000 fold higher levels of viral RNA than wild-type and single-deficient mice 24 hours after infection; how...

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematologic malignancy despite advances in treatment. While obesity is a well-established risk factor, the underlying metabolic mechanisms by which adipocytes contribute to disease progression remain elusive. Here, we uncover a critical m...

Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a human-specific poxvirus that causes a highly common but mild infection characterised by distinctive and persistent papular skin lesions. These lesions can persist for long periods without an effective clearance response from the host. MCV, like all poxviruses, ...

Synthetic oligonucleotides (ODNs) containing CpG motifs stimulate human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) to produce type-1 interferons (IFN) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Previous studies demonstrated that interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) played a central role in mediating CpG-induced pDC a...
