摘要: Interferon is known as a pleiotropic factor in innate immunity, cancer immunity and therapy. Despite an objective short-term response of interferon (IFN) therapy renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, the potential adverse effect IFN on RCC cells not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrate that IFNs can enhance invasion via new mechanism IFIT5-mediated tumor suppressor microRNA (miRNA) degradation resulted elevation Slug ZEB1 epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Clinically, significant upregulation IFNγ signaling pathway (such IFNGR1, IFNGR2, STAT1 STAT2) observed patients with metastatic disease. Overall, study provides action IFN-elicited canonical regulating miRNAs. Most importantly, it highlights pro-metastatic IFNs, which could undermine clinical applicability for treating patients.
