摘要: Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are transcription factors of the interferon (IFN)-inducible signaling pathway essential for host immunity against antimicrobial infection by virus and bacteria. Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) regulates the expression of IFNs and IFN-stimulated genes by binding to the IFN stimulatory response element (ISRE). In this study, we analyze the thymus transcriptome of the mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi and report the functional analysis of Irf3 from the thymus as an emerging model of antiviral approaches. The predicted S. chuatsi IRF3 (Sc-Irf3) protein has 465 amino acid residues and evolutionarily conserved domains and is clustered in the IRF3 subfamily on a phylogenetic tree. Sc-Irf3 upon transgenic expression was mainly found in the cytoplasm through Western blot analysis and microscopy, but it translocated to the nucleus after polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (ploly I:C) treatment. Endogenous Sc-irf3 RNA expression was detected in all eight adult organs examined. Importantly, Sc-irf3 RNA expression was significantly upregulated by ploly(I:C) treatment in the adult organs. Concurrently, reporter assays revealed that Sc-Irf3 increased the transcriptional activity of the ifn promoter, a minimal ISRE-containing promoter, and ifn promoter of mandarin fish. Therefore, Sc-Irf3 plays a major role in the IFN immune defense system against virus infection.
