摘要: Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 3 and IRF7 are the most important nuclear transcription factors regulating type-I interferon (IFN) production in mammals and the IRF3 is missing in birds. Our previous study found that IFR7 is the most important IRF in chickens, however, its functions in geese remain unknown. We cloned goose IRF7 (GoIRF7) and conducted bioinformatics analyses to compare the chromosomal location and protein homology of IRF7 in different species. Overexpression of GoIRF7 in DF-1 cells induced the activation of IFN-beta, and this activation correlated positively with the dosage of transfected plasmids. Overexpression of GoIRF7 in goose embryonic fibroblasts (GEFs) induced the expression of IFNs, proinflammatory cytokines, and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs); it also inhibited replication of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Our results suggest that GoIRF7 is an important regulator of IFNs, proinflammatory cytokines, and ISGs and plays a role in antiviral innate immunity in geese.
