                                  "Further investigation with the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed those up-regulated genes could cause the activation of the IFN-induced pathway, type II interferon signaling pathway, and regulation of protein ISGylation by the ISG15 deconjugating enzyme USP18 pathway (Figure 4B)."

                                  "ISG15 is known to promote USP18-mediated inhibition of type I 437 IFN signaling by stabilizing USP18 activity and preventing its proteasomal degradation(Zhang et   438 al., 2015), underscoring the role of ISG15 as a negative regulator of type I IFN responses when 439 co-upregulated with USP18."

                                  "Notably, the interaction of USP18 with free intracellular ISG15 impairs ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of USP18, which leads to the prevention of overamplification of IFN signaling and autoinflammation, suggesting that free ISG15-mediated stabilization of USP18 is pivotal for the negative feedback regulation of long-term IFN signaling  ."
