"Collectively, our results suggest that auranofin inhibits the fatty-acid-induced hepatocyte apoptosis by causing autophagic degradation of IRF3 protein.Given the critical role of IRF3 in innate immune defense, identifying both positive and negative modulators of the IRF3 functions is desirable."

"∗ indicates p < 0.05.Figure 7: Autophagic degradation of IRF3 by auranofin inhibits palmitic-acid-induced apoptotic cell death in human hepatocytes.A, Huh7 cells were treated with palmitic acid (PA) or vehicle (bovine serum albumin, BSA) for 24 h, when the caspase-3 activity was measured."

"Together, auranofin inhibits both the proapoptotic and transcriptional activities of IRF3 in multiple cell types.To determine the molecular mechanism of auranofin-mediated inhibition of IRF3 activities, we investigated the effect of auranofin on IRF3 phosphorylation (p-IRF3), which is critical for the transcriptional activity of IRF3."

"Petrasek et al.94 suggested that the STING-IRF3 pathway is an important factor of ALD, that links up ER stress and hepatocyte apoptosistargeting the IRF3 pathway has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach for ALD.96, 97, 98 It has been reported that a small-molecule auranofin could induce autophagic degradation of IRF3 and inhibit its transcriptional and proapoptotic activities."
