"Thus, the induction of ISGs by LPS and TNF-α is very unlikely to reflect the induction of hepatocyte type 1 or type 2 IFN, which suggests that the observed USP18 induction is not due to type 1 or type 2 IFN secretion and autocrine stimulation of the IFN-α receptor.We then assessed whether tissue-wide hepatic inflammatory stress increases liver USP18 expression, as an in vivo confirmation of our in vitro findings."
