Type I interferons (IFNs) have been shown to be involved in many immune defence and inflammatory responses. We here show that IFN-beta plays an absolute essential role in the efficient induction of all type I IFNs after infection of primary embryonic as well as primary adult fibroblasts with Sendai virus. In contrast, after immortalization of such fibroblasts with SV40 large T antigen, IFN-alpha4 can be induced independently of IFN-beta. However, efficient secretion of type I IFNs even in immortalized fibroblasts is only found when the complete signalling loop is induced by IFN-beta.
I型干扰素(IFNs)已被证明参与多种免疫防御和炎症反应。我们在此表明,在用仙台病毒感染原代胚胎和成体原代成纤维细胞后,IFN-β在所有I型干扰素的有效诱导中起着绝对关键的作用。相比之下,在用SV40大T抗原使此类成纤维细胞永生化后,IFN-α4可以独立于IFN-β被诱导。然而,只有当IFN-β诱导完整的信号传导回路时,才会在永生化的成纤维细胞中发现I型干扰素的有效分泌。
