Overview of Gene Research
Sigirr, also known as Toll/interleukin-1 receptor 8 or TIR8, is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) family. It acts as a major inhibitor of Toll-like receptor signaling and negatively modulates immune responses [1,2]. Sigirr is involved in pathways like the STAT3-dependent microRNA expression pathway, IL-1R/TLR downstream signaling pathways, and the MyD88/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway [2,3,5]. It plays a crucial role in maintaining system homeostasis by reducing inflammation in tissues [3]. Genetic models, such as transgenic mice, are valuable for studying Sigirr.

In Sigirr-deficient mice, increased intestinal inflammation and NF-κB activation were observed, along with decreased expression of miR-146a and miR-155 in the intestine, uncovering a novel SIGIRR-STAT3-miRNA-IRAK1 repression pathway disrupted by SIGIRR mutation in human necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) [2]. Sigirr -/- mice also showed elevated IL-36 responsiveness in dendritic cells and keratinocytes, leading to increased neutrophil infiltration and exacerbated psoriasiform inflammation, indicating SIGIRR as a negative regulator of IL-36-driven psoriatic inflammation [4]. SIGIRR-deficient mice were more susceptible to antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) due to enhanced TNF-α production in memory CD4 T cells, revealing SIGIRR's role in regulating the IL-1/C/EBPβ/TNF-α signaling axis in rheumatoid arthritis [5].

In conclusion, Sigirr is a key negative regulator in multiple signaling pathways related to inflammation and immune responses. Gene-knockout mouse models have significantly contributed to understanding its role in diseases like NEC, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis. These insights provide potential targets for treating these diseases by modulating Sigirr-related pathways.
