Because hematopoietic cells derived from Fanconi anemia (FA)
patients of the C-complementation group (FA-C) are hypersensitive to
the inhibitory effects of interferon (IFN ), the products of
certain IFN -inducible genes known to influence hematopoietic cell
survival were quantified. High constitutive expression of the
IFN -inducible genes, IFN-stimulated gene factor 3 gamma subunit (ISGF3 ), IFN regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1 was found in
FANCC mutant B lymphoblasts, low-density bone marrow cells,
and murine embryonic fibroblasts. Paradoxically, these cells do not
activate signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1 properly. In an attempt to clarify mechanisms by which FA-C cells
overexpress IFN -inducible genes in the face of defective STAT1
phosphorylation, it was reasoned that decreased levels of activated
STAT1 might result in reduced expression of a hematopoietic IFN -responsive protein that normally modulates expression of other
IFN -responsive genes. Levels of the IFN -inducible factor IFN
consensus sequence binding protein (ICSBP), a negative trans-acting regulator of some IFN -inducible genes, were quantified. ICSBP levels
were reduced in FA-C B lymphoblasts and MEFs. However, enforced
expression of ICSBP failed to down-regulate IRF-1, ISGF3 , and
p21WAF1. Thus, the FANCC protein functions to modulate
expression of a family of genes that in normal cells are inducible only
by specific environmental cues for apoptosis or mitogenic inhibition,
but it does so independently of the classic IFN-STAT1 pathway and is not the direct result of reduced ICSBP expression.
