Loss of transcription factor IRF-1 affects tumor susceptibility in mice carrying the Ha-ras transgene or nullizygosity for p53

The transcription factor IRF-1 has been implicated in tumor suppression: IRF-1 suppresses cell transformation and mediates apoptosis in vitro. Here we show that the loss of IRF-1 alleles per se has no effect on spontaneous tumor development in the mouse but dramatically exacerbates previous tumor predispositions caused by the c-Ha-ras transgene or by nullizygosity for p53. Grossly altered tumor spectrum, as compared to p53-null mice, was also observed in mice lacking both IRF-1 and p53, and cells from these mice show significantly higher mutation rate. Our results suggest that IRF-1 is a new member of the tumor susceptibility genes.
