The interferon regulatory factor ICSBP/IRF-8 in combination with PU.1 up-regulates expression of tumor suppressor p15Ink4b in murine myeloid cells
Open accessAbstract
CDKN2B (INK4B), which encodes the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p15INK4b, is up-regulated by many cytokines found in hematopoietic environments in vivo. In human acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs), it is inactivated with high frequency. To gain insight into the regulatory pathways leading to the normal activation of p15Ink4b expression, we examined interferon β (IFNβ)–induced transcription. Using reporter gene assays in murine myeloid cells M1, we determined that a 328-bp fragment, located 117 to 443 bp upstream of the translation initiation site, was sufficient to activate transcription. Both the interferon consensus sequence-binding protein/interferon regulatory factor 8 (ICSBP/IRF-8) and PU.1 were able to increase transcription from this region. It was determined that both ICSBP and PU.1 must bind to DNA to form a stable PU.1/ICSBP binding complex. Interestingly, introduction of the ICSBP into ICSBP-null Tot2 cells led to a significant increase in p15Ink4b RNA expression. This regulation of the Ink4b promoter is apparently myeloid specific because both ICSBP and PU.1 are myeloid commitment factors. Importantly, this provides a mechanism to explain in part the tumor suppressor activity of ICSBP, since ICSBP-deficient mice develop a chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)–like disease and a high percentage of human AML and CML lack ICSBP transcripts.

In various cell types PU.1 induces expression of TRAIL and Ink4b, which respectively induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation.
“In various cell types PU.1 has also been shown to induce expression of TRAIL and Ink4b, which respectively induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation [28], [29].”

The Discussion reports that PU.1 and ICSBP regulate p15 Ink4b expression in IFNβ-treated myeloid cells, and the Introduction identifies p15 Ink4b as a cell-cycle inhibitor. This supports the Ink4b portion for this source, but not the broader implication that PU.1 induces it across various cell types or independently of ICSBP. The separate TRAIL claim appears to be assigned to the other citation. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
