ADAR and hnRNPC deficiency synergize in activating endogenous dsRNA-induced type I IFN responses
25 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Cytosolic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) initiates type I IFN responses. Endogenous retroelements, notably Alu elements, constitute a source of dsRNA. Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing by ADAR induces mismatches in dsRNA and prevents recognition by MDA5 and autoinflammation. To identify additional endogenous dsRNA checkpoints, we conducted a candidate screen in THP-1 monocytes and found that hnRNPC and ADAR...
