Regulation of early growth response-1 (Egr-1) gene expression by Stat1-independent type I interferon signaling and respiratory viruses 2020-08-14 .txt text/plain 3320 217 47 Transcriptional factor profiling in the transcriptome and RNA analysis revealed that Early growth response-1 (Egr-1) was rapidly induced by IFN-α/β and Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands in multiple cell types. Furthermore, Egr-1 inducible genes including transcription factors, mediators of cell growth, and chemokines were differentially regulated in the human lung cell lines after coronavirus infection, and in the lung biopsies of COVID-19 patients. In this study, transcription factor profiling in interferon-mediated gene expression data sets and RT-PCR revealed that Egr-1 was rapidly induced by IFN-α/β and TLR ligands in multiple cell types. Respiratory pathogens including coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-1 and 2) and influenza viruses regulated the expression of Egr-1 in human lung cell lines and in lung biopsies and peripheral blood cells of COVID-19 patients, These studies suggest that the regulation of Egr-1 may play an important role in the antiviral response and inflammatory disease. ./cache/cord-103625-p55ew8w7.txt ./txt/cord-103625-p55ew8w7.txt
