Abstract��Abstract: Leucine-rich repeat (in flightless I) interacting protein-1 (LRRFIP1) was originally identified as a protein that interacts with the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of human flightless-I. Its biological role is unknown, and might be important for actin organization. Recent studies have found that LRRFIP1 can promote the expression of type I interferon in mouse fibroblasts and macrophage cells. Over-expressed LRRFIP1 reduced the levels of virus infection, suggesting that LRRFIP1 may be involved in viral infection-induced innate immune response. Liver, as an important human digestive organ, is vulnerable to hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infection. Here, human LRRFIP1 gene was successfully cloned from hepatoma Huh7 cells via overlap PCR method. It was found that over-expression of LRRFIP1 in Huh7 cells up-regulated the expression of interferon (IFN)-β. The results may provide additional information for the physiological functions of human LRRFIP1.
