"XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR To asses whether STAT1 or STAT2, which are both upregulated by USP18 inhibition (XREF_FIG), are implicated in the upregulation of Bim, DP5 and PUMA mRNA expression in USP18 silenced cells, we inhibited in parallel USP18 and STAT1 or STAT2 in INS-1E cells by use of specific siRNAs."

reach
"Interestingly, IL-17A pretreatment increased the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 1, SOCS3 and USP18, which were also the ISGs negatively regulating activity of ISGF3."

"Interferon genes including Interferon (IFN)-induced protein 44-like ( IFI44L ), Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 ( IFIT1 ), Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"We further found that microglial Usp18 negatively regulates the activation of Stat1 and concomitant induction of interferon induced genes, thereby terminating IFN signaling."

reach
"Silencing USP18 prolongs the phosphorylated state of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and enhances the expression of ISGs in response to IFN-alpha [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"In mice, Usp18 negatively regulates Stat1 activation and the downstream IFN-I response by interaction with Ifnar2, and mice lacking Usp18 in microglia display brain disease due to uncontrolled IFN-I signalling [6]."

reach
"In addition, USP18, which is increased by interferon signaling and is stabilized through a noncovalent association with ISG15, also acts to inhibit STAT1 activation by type I interferons to limit undue interferon signaling (17, 18)."

reach
"Silencing of USP18 by specific siRNA attenuated the pSTAT1 suppression by Ach."

reach
"USP18 negatively regulates the activation of STAT1 upon interaction with IFNAR2 (Malakhova et al., 2006)."

reach
"Therefore, knockdown USP18 leads to prolonged and enhanced the activity of STAT1, and upregulated expression of many ISGs."

reach
"Of note, USP18 knockdown did not increase pSTAT1 in response to IFN-alpha before 24 h; these findings are consistent with previous observations."
