IFN Regulatory Factor 8 Mediates Apoptosis in Nonhemopoietic Tumor Cells via Regulation of Fas Expression

Abstract excerpt

IFN regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) is a transcription factor that was originally identified in myeloid cells and has been shown to be essential for differentiation and function of hemopoietic cells. Mice with a null mutation of IRF8 exhibit uncontrolled expansion of the granulocytic and monocytic lineages that progress into a phenotype resembling human chronic myelogenous leukemia. In human patients with chronic...
