Activity summary

Interferon beta (IFN-β) also known as IFNB1 is a cytokine widely recognized in the immune system for its role in antiviral defense. It has a molecular mass of about 20-25 kDa. IFN-β is mainly produced by fibroblasts and some macrophages. Its expression increases in response to viral infections as well as other external stimuli like double-stranded RNA. The regulation of IFN-β expression involves intricate interactions with various transcription factors and it mediates its effects by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface initiating JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

Biological function summary

This protein helps modulate the immune response by enhancing the activity of immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells and promoting the presentation of antigens through major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. IFN-β plays a significant role in the immune system's ability to recognize and respond to pathogens. It functions in a complex involving multiple signaling pathways that communicate cellular stress and activate immune defense mechanisms. Through its impact on gene expression IFN-β can modulate key cellular processes that contain pathogen spread.

Pathways

The signaling of IFN-β integrates with essential immune pathways like the JAK-STAT and the MAPK pathways. The JAK-STAT pathway an important signaling mechanism allows cells to respond to extracellular proteins and manage immune response. IFN-β interaction with LAT and STAT1 emphasizes its role in amplifying antiviral states in cells. Additionally IFN-β can influence MAPK pathway components thereby impacting cell survival proliferation and differentiation during immune challenges.

Associated diseases and disorders

IFN-β associates with multiple sclerosis and persistent viral infections. Its therapeutic use in multiple sclerosis highlights its capacity to reduce the frequency of exacerbations and control neuroinflammation. IFN-β administration also impacts hepatitis C virus burden exhibiting its role in chronic infection management. Its interplay with other cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) supports its therapeutic relevance in managing these conditions and substantiates its application in clinical therapies.
