Summary
IRF1 is required for the up-regulation of the CD40-NF-kappaB activator 1 (TRAF3IP2 ) axis during airway inflammation.
IRF1 is controlled by two distinct signalling pathways; a JAK/STAT-signalling pathway in viral infected cells and an ATM-signalling pathway in DNA damaged cells.
IRF1 specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of the human IFN-beta (IFNB1) gene and mediates IFNB1 virus-induced transcription and is involved in the regulation of other genes such as IFN-alpha and MHC class I genes.
IRF1 mediated type I IFN independent mechanism of enhanced RSAD2 (viperin) expression provides a redundant mechanism to protect cells from viral infections.
IRF1 transcriptionally inhibits the IL23A through the ISRE element and reduce the severity of chronic intestinal inflammation caused by LPS (shown in mice).
IRF1 promotes immune cell apoptosis and inhibits autophagy in a murine endotoxemia model. (Demonstrated in mice)
MIR23A contributes to human herpes simplex virus type 1 replication through the regulation of the IRF1-mediated antiviral signal pathway.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Irf1 transcriptionally inhibits the Il23a through the ISRE element and reduce the severity of chronic intestinal inflammation caused by LPS.
[Mus musculus] Irf1 promotes immune cell apoptosis and inhibits autophagy in a murine endotoxemia model.
[Mus musculus] Irf1 is an essential regulator of the host innate antiviral response in the brain by limiting viral replication at later stages of infection, but is not involved in the rapid induction of IFN.
[Mus musculus] Nlrp3 deficiency protects mice from the development of type 1 diabetes by suppressing Th1 responses and impairing T-cell migration to pancreatic islets through the down-regulation of chemokine expression (Ccl5, Cxcl10, Irf1) in islets.
Entrez Gene
Summary IRF1 encodes interferon regulatory factor 1, a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. IRF1 serves as an activator of interferons alpha and beta transcription, and in mouse it has been shown to be required for double-stranded RNA induction of these genes. IRF1 also functions as a transcription activator of genes induced by interferons alpha, beta, and gamma. Further, IRF1 has been shown to play roles in regulating apoptosis and tumor-suppressoion.
