Abstract

The present review focuses on recent advances in the understanding of the molecular mechnisms by which interferon regulatory factor (IRF)‑1 inhibits oncogenesis. IRF‑1 is associated with regulation of interferon α and β transcription. In addition, numerous clinical studies have indicated that IRF‑1 gene deletion or rearrangement correlates with development of specific forms of human cancer. IRF‑1 has been revealed to exhibit marked functional diversity in the regulation of oncogenesis. IRF‑1 activates a set of target genes associated with regulation of the cell cycle, apoptosis and the immune response. The role of IRF‑1 in the regulation of various types of human tumor has important implications for understanding the susceptibility and progression of cancer. In addition, an improved understanding of the role of IRF‑1 in the pathological processes that lead to human malignant diseases may aid development of novel therapeutic strategies.
