Interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP) is a transcription factor of the interferon (IFN) regulatory factor (IRF) family. Proteins of this family are composed of a conserved DNA-binding domain in the N-terminal region and a divergent C-terminal region that serves as the regulatory domain. The IRF family proteins bind to the IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) and regulate expression of genes stimulated by type I IFNs, namely IFN-alpha and IFN-beta. IRF family proteins also control expression of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta-regulated genes that are induced by viral infection. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] CIViC Summary for IRF8 Gene
A study in mice demonstrated that following clodronate liposome pre-treatment and controlled cortical impact brain injury, monocytes emerging from emergency monopoiesis exhibited a transcriptional profile indicative of immaturity, characterized by higher expression of the IRF8 in bone marrow monocytes compared to bone marrow-derived macrophages [Gudenschwager Basso et al. DOI:10.1186/s12974-024-03032-8]. A study in porcine skin exposed to bromine vapor demonstrated that the IRF8 was significantly upregulated approximately 2.9-fold in both 10- and 20-minute exposure groups at 48 hours postexposure, as identified via microarray analysis and pathway analysis [Rogers et al. DOI:10.1002/jbt.20383].
