ab271043 staining Interferon regulatory factor 9 in wild-type HeLa cells and IRF9 knockout HeLa cells treated with interferon-a1 (ab48750) at 10 ng/ml for 16 hours. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab271043 at 0.4 μg/ml concentration and ab7291 (Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin) at 1/1000 dilution overnight at 4°C followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150120) at 2 μg/ml (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8).

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Interferon regulatory factor 9/IRF-9 antibody [14HCLC] staining at 2 μg/ml shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution shown in red. In Western blot ab277803 was shown to bind specifically to Interferon regulatory factor 9/IRF-9. A band was observed at 48 kDa in treated wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in IRF9 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab266051 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab258472). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 48 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of Interferon regulatory factor 9/IRF-9. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image wild-type and IRF9 CRISPR-Cas9 edited HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

Interferon regulatory factor 9 (IRF-9) also known as ISGF3-γ is a critical component in the transcriptional regulation of interferon-stimulated genes. This protein with a mass of approximately 48 kDa serves as an important mediator in the interferon signaling pathway. IRF-9 is widely expressed in various tissues where it functions as part of the immune response to pathogens. Its expression can be induced by interferons signaling molecules involved in antiviral defense.
Biological function summary

IRF-9 participates in the assembly of the transcription factor complex ISGF3 alongside STAT1 and STAT2. This complex translocates into the nucleus to initiate the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes that promote antiviral states. IRF-9 through this functional role impacts a range of cellular responses including proliferation apoptosis and immune regulation. It affects the temporal and spatial aspects of gene expression in response to interferons.

Pathways

IRF-9 plays a significant role in both the Jak-STAT and interferon signaling pathways. These pathways are essential for the activation of genes involved in immune defense. Through its involvement in these pathways IRF-9 interacts with proteins such as STAT1 and STAT2 creating a bridge between extracellular signals and gene activation. This involvement ensures that cells can respond effectively to viral infections enhancing innate and adaptive immune responses.

IRF-9 has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Dysfunction in the IRF-9 associated pathways can lead to conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus where inefficient regulation of immune responses occurs. In cancer altered IRF-9 expression can contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation. These connections highlight the importance of IRF-9 in maintaining cellular homeostasis and immune integrity. IRF-9's interaction with STAT proteins and interferon pathways highlights its central role in these disease processes.
