Schematic of proposed mechanism of IFNγ-induced suppression of AQP-1. S. DicayMichael L. HirotaChristina J. RonaghanNatalie A. PeplowskiMichael S. ZaheerRaza A. CaratiColin K. MacNaughtonWallace 2015 <p>While IFNγ activates both STAT1 and STAT3 in a JAK-dependent manner, only activation of STAT3 plays a role in the reduced expression of AQP1. IRF2 may play a role in the constitutive expression of AQP1. IFNγ suppresses IRF2, but this does not appear to play a role in reduced AQP1 expression.</p>
