GSE114916 RNA transcriptome analysis of IRF1 and IRF3 knockout in immortalized primary hepatocytes infected with hepatitis A virus

Whereas IRF1 and IRF3 are thought to bind similar DNA elements (ISRE and PRD-III, PRD-I) to activate antiviral gene transcription, genome-wide transcriptome profiling of IRF1 versus IRF3 knockouts in an immortalized primary hepatocyte (PH5CH8) cell line infected with hepatitis A virus (HAV) revealed unexpected disparities in their target genes. IRF1 targets include several anti-HAV effector genes that were not previously recognized to have antiviral functions.
