Summary
IFNB1 has an essential role in the anti-viral response and optineurin (OPTN) has a role in the inhibition of virus-triggered IFNB1 induction.
Viral RNA-induced IFNB1 production is suppressed by oncogenic RAS through negative regulation of RIG-I signalling, leading to promotion of virus spread.
IFNB1 expression is inhibited by influenza A virus polymerase by binding to IFN-beta promoter stimulator 1 (MAVS).
IFNB1 is a type I interferon (IFN-I) and the IFN-I family comprises a wide number of cytokines with different modulatory effects on angiogenesis, cell growth, fibrosis, apoptosis and autoimmunity.
IFNB1 deficiency results in a partial suppression of the sterol pathway in macrophages during viral infections, thereby linking the regulation of lipid metabolism pathway with interferon anti-viral defence responses. (Demonstrated in murine model)
IFNB1 secretion is greater upon viable E. coli infection in comparison to heat killed E. coli vaccine or LPS. The induction of IFNB1 is dependent on TICAM1-IRF3 signalling. (Demonstrated in murine model).
IFNB1 expression pattern during viral infection is a highly stochastic process influenced by cell-to-cell variability in viral induction processes. (Demonstrated in mice)
IFNB1 production is fundamental to the efficient control of Listeria monocytogenes during the early innate phase of infection. NK cells treated with IFNB1 during early infection were able to reduce bacterial titer in the spleen and significantly improve survival of infected mice. (Demonstrated in mouse)
Macrocyclic NS3-4A resistance-associated amino acid variants (RAVs) with substitutions at residue D168 of the hepatitis C virus protease result in an increased capacity of NS3-4A to cleave MAVS and suppress IFNB1 induction.
Coronavirus engages papain-like proteases to escape from the innate antiviral response of the host by inhibiting TP53-IRF7-IFNB1 signalling.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase inhibits TMEM173-stimulated IRF3 activation and IFNB1 induction.
ELAVL1 is required for the stabilization of IFNB1 mRNA, and suppression of ELAVL1 leads to impaired expression of IFNB1 in response to poly(I:C) treatment.
IFNB1 selectively restricts the transcriptional responses mediated by both the TLRs and the NOD-like receptors in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection in macrophages.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Ifnb1 deficiency results in a partial suppression of the sterol pathway in macrophages during viral infections, thereby linking the regulation of lipid metabolism pathway with interferon anti-viral defence responses.
[Mus musculus] Ifnb1 secretion is greater upon viable E. coli infection in comparison to heat killed E. coli vaccine or LPS. The induction of Ifnb1 is dependent on Ticam1-Irf3 signalling.
[Mus musculus] Ifnb1 expression pattern during viral infection is a highly stochastic process influenced by cell-to-cell variability in viral induction processes.
[Mus musculus] Ifnb1 production is fundamental to the efficient control of Listeria monocytogenes during the early innate phase of infection. NK cells treated with Ifnb1 during early infection were able to reduce bacterial titer in the spleen and significantly improve survival of infected mice.
[Mus musculus] The noncanonical NFκB pathway regulates histone modifications at the Ifnb1 promoter resulting in attenuated recruitment of Rela and histone demethylase, Kdm4a, to the Ifnb1 promoter. This provides a mechanism for regulating the induction of type I interferons .
[Mus musculus] The innate immune system plays a role in immunogenic tumour recognition. Tumor-cell-derived DNA triggers Ifnb1 production and dendritic cell activation via Tmem173 and Irf3 cytosolic DNA sensing pathways.
[Mus musculus] Ifnb1 selectively restricts the transcriptional responses mediated by both the TLRs and the NOD-like receptors in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection in macrophages.
[Mus musculus] Atf3 plays an important role in modulating IFN responses in macrophages by controlling basal and inducible levels of Ifnb1, as well as the expression of genes downstream of IFN signalling.
