Overview of Gene Research
Ifngr1, encoding the interferon gamma receptor 1, is a key component of the interferon-γ (IFNγ) receptor complex. IFNγ signals through a tetramer of two IFN-γR1 chains in complex with two IFN-γR2 chains, where IFN-γR1 is the ligand-binding chain. The IFNγ signaling pathway is essential for the innate immune defense against mycobacterial infections and plays a crucial role in various immune-related biological processes [4]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout (KO) mouse models, are valuable for studying its functions.
In murine cancer models, loss of optineurin was shown to attenuate IFNGR1 expression, impair T-cell immunity, and diminish immunotherapy efficacy. Mechanistically, IFNGR1 was S-palmitoylated, and AP3D1 sorted palmitoylated IFNGR1 to lysosome for degradation, while optineurin interacted with AP3D1 to prevent this degradation [1]. In macrophages following myocardial infarction, RNF149, a highly expressed E3 ubiquitin ligase, promoted ubiquitylation-dependent proteasomal degradation of IFNGR1. Knockout of RNF149 exacerbated cardiac dysfunction, and loss of IFNGR1 rescued the deleterious effects of RNF149 deficiency [2]. Blocking sphingolipid production in cancer cells increased surface levels of IFNGR1, enhancing the anti-proliferative effects of immune cells via IFNγ signalling [3].
In conclusion, Ifngr1 is fundamental for IFNγ-mediated immune responses. Model-based research, especially KO mouse models, has revealed its significance in cancer immune evasion, post-infarction cardiac repair, and tuberculosis susceptibility. Understanding Ifngr1's functions provides insights into immune-related disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
