Interferon Regulatory Factors IRF5 and IRF7 Inhibit Growth and Induce Senescence in Immortal Li-Fraumeni Fibroblasts
1 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Cellular immortalization is one of the prerequisite steps in carcinogenesis. By gene expression profiling, we have found that genes in the interferon (IFN) pathway were dysregulated during the spontaneous cellular immortalization of fibroblasts from Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) patients with germ-line mutations in p53. IFN signaling pathway genes were down-regulated by epigenetic silencing during immortalization,...
