Interferon (IFN) regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is a transcription factor that has been historically associated with type I IFN activation and antioncogenic properties. We studied IRF-1 expression and DNA-binding capacity in nontransformed and transformed mouse fibroblasts. A 43-kDa nuclear IRF-1 protein was expressed biphasically during the cell cycle in primary mouse embryo fibroblasts, nontransformed NIH 3T3 cells, andrasrevertants. IRF-1 expression became constitutive inras-transformed NIH 3T3 cells and in cells transformed by oncogenesets,fes,fos,her-2/neu,met,mos,raf, ortrk, suggesting that deregulated IRF-1 expression may be associated with loss of growth control. Lysyl oxidase (LO), arassuppressor that is downregulated inrastransformants, is an IRF-1 target gene, but it is not stimulated by abundant IRF-1 present in transformants, while another IRF-1 target gene (iNOS) is transcribed. IRF-1 from either normal orras-transformed cells bound to IRF elements in the IFN-βand LO promoters. IRF-1 in transformants can, therefore, bind to but not transactivate the LO promoter, and the presence of IRF-1 is not sufficient to suppressrastransformation. LO expression may effect the regulated expression of IRF-1: arasrevertant, which was generated by stable transfection of LO cDNA, regained the normal biphasic IRF-1 pattern. A mainly cytoplasmic, constitutively expressed 46-kDa protein with immunologic identity to the 43-kDa nuclear IRF-1 was also present in normal and transformed cells, but as it did not bind to the IRF elements, its function is unclear.
