インターフェロン(英: Interferon、略号:IFN)とは動物体内で病原体(特にウイルス)や腫瘍細胞などの異物の侵入に反応して細胞が分泌する蛋白質のこと。ウイルス増殖の阻止や細胞増殖の抑制、免疫系および炎症の調節などの働きをするサイトカインの一種である。
医薬品としては、ウイルス性肝炎等の抗ウイルス薬として、多発性骨髄腫等の抗がん剤として用いられている。
1954年に、伝染病研究所所長(当時)の長野泰一と小島保彦が「ウイルス干渉因子」として発見し報告した。1957年には、イギリスのアリック・アイザックス(Alick Isaacs)たちもウイルス増殖を非特異的に(抗体ではない)抑制する因子として確認し、ウイルス干渉(Interference)因子という意味で「Interferon(インターフェロン)」と命名した。 1980年頃に、インターフェロンが悪性腫瘍に効果があることが発見され、抗がん剤として発展していった。
ヒトでは大きく分けて3つのタイプがある。
多くの場合「インターフェロン」というとIFN typeⅠ(I型インターフェロン)を指す。IFN typeⅠには以下が知られている。
相同な分子が哺乳類のほか鳥類、爬虫類、魚類で見つかっている。これらに加えマウスでリミチン(LimitinまたはIFN-ζ)、ウシなどでIFN-τ、ブタでIFN-δが見つかっている。タイプIインターフェロンはすべてIFNAR(IFNAR1とIFNAR2に分けられる)という細胞表面の特異的な受容体複合体に結合する。
IFN-γのみからなる。成熟したIFNγは反対向きに結合したホモ二量体でIFNγ受容体複合体(IFNGR:サブユニットIFNGR1とIFNGR2の1個ずつからなる)に結合する。
IFN-λで3つのアイソフォーム(IFN-λ1、IFN-λ2、IFN-λ3)からなる。これらは発見当初インターロイキンIL28A、IL28B、IL29としても命名された。
ウイルスの感染や2本鎖RNAなどによって直接誘導されることが知られている。これらの細胞外での受容体としてはToll様受容体(TLR)でその中でもエンドソームに存在するTLR3、TLR7、TLR9である。また、細胞内に存在する受容体としてはRIG-I、MDA-5が関与し、これらがI型インターフェロンの発現を高めると考えられる。また体内にいろいろな抗原が侵入したときそれに反応してIL-1、IL-2、IL-12、TNF、CSFなどのサイトカインが産生される。インターフェロンの産生はこれらのサイトカインによっても誘導される。
インターフェロンにより調節される細胞内シグナル伝達経路の代表的なものとしてはJAK-STAT経路が知られるが、それ以外の経路も関与していると考えられる。
インターフェロンαとβはリンパ球(T細胞、B細胞)、マクロファージ、線維芽細胞、血管内皮細胞、骨芽細胞など多くのタイプの細胞で産生され特に抗ウイルス応答の重要な要素である(詳しくはI型インターフェロンの項を参照)。インターフェロンαとβはマクロファージとNK細胞をともに刺激し、腫瘍細胞に対しても直接的に増殖抑制作用を示す。
インターフェロンγは活性化されたT細胞で産生され免疫系と炎症反応に対して調節作用を有する。IFN-γにも抗ウイルス作用と抗腫瘍作用があるが弱く、その代わりIFN-αとβの効果を増強する作用がある。IFN-γは腫瘍のある局所で働く必要があり、がん治療への有効性は低い。IFN-γはTh1細胞からも分泌され、白血球を感染局所にリクルートして炎症を強化する作用がある。またマクロファージを刺激して細菌を貪食殺菌させる。Th1細胞から分泌されたIFN-γはTh2反応を調節する作用でも重要である。免疫応答の調節にも関わっており、過剰な産生は自己免疫疾患につながる可能性がある。IFN-ωは白血球からウイルス感染または腫瘍の局所で分泌される。
インターフェロンはかつては希少で高価だったが、遺伝子操作により細菌や培養細胞での大量生産が可能になった。現在医薬品として多くのインターフェロンが承認され、B型肝炎・C型肝炎などのウイルス性肝炎、またいくつかの腫瘍の治療や白血病の治療に用いられている。
副作用としては発熱、だるさ、疲労、頭痛、筋肉痛、けいれんなどのインフルエンザ様症状、また投与部位の紅斑、痛み、痒みが多い。まれに脱毛、蛋白尿、めまいや抑鬱もある。
多くの症状は可逆的で治療終了後数日で回復する。しかし重篤なものとして間質性肺炎・抑鬱による自殺がある。また、小柴胡湯との併用で間質性肺炎が起こりやすいので併用は禁忌である。

Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins[1] made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and also tumor cells. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.
IFNs belong to the large class of proteins known as cytokines, molecules used for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that help eradicate pathogens.[2] Interferons are named for their ability to "interfere" with viral replication[2] by protecting cells from virus infections. IFNs also have various other functions: they activate immune cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages; they increase host defenses by up-regulating antigen presentation by virtue of increasing the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. Certain symptoms of infections, such as fever, muscle pain and "flu-like symptoms", are also caused by the production of IFNs and other cytokines.
More than twenty distinct IFN genes and proteins have been identified in animals, including humans. They are typically divided among three classes: Type I IFN, Type II IFN, and Type III IFN. IFNs belonging to all three classes are important for fighting viral infections and for the regulation of the immune system.
Based on the type of receptor through which they signal, human interferons have been classified into three major types.
In general, type I and II interferons are responsible for regulating and activating the immune response.[2] Expression of type I and III IFNs can be induced in virtually all cell types upon recognition of viral components, especially nucleic acids, by cytoplasmic and endosomal receptors, whereas type II interferon is induced by cytokines such as IL-12, and its expression is restricted to immune cells such as T cells and NK cells.
All interferons share several common effects: they are antiviral agents and they modulate functions of the immune system. Administration of Type I IFN has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in experimental animals, but the beneficial action in human tumors has not been widely documented. A virus-infected cell releases viral particles that can infect nearby cells. However, the infected cell can prepare neighboring cells against a potential infection by the virus by releasing interferons. In response to interferon, cells produce large amounts of an enzyme known as protein kinase R (PKR). This enzyme phosphorylates a protein known as eIF-2 in response to new viral infections; the phosphorylated eIF-2 forms an inactive complex with another protein, called eIF2B, to reduce protein synthesis within the cell. Another cellular enzyme, RNAse L—also induced by interferon action—destroys RNA within the cells to further reduce protein synthesis of both viral and host genes. Inhibited protein synthesis destroys both the virus and infected host cells. In addition, interferons induce production of hundreds of other proteins—known collectively as interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs)—that have roles in combating viruses and other actions produced by interferon.[9][10] They also limit viral spread by increasing p53 activity, which kills virus-infected cells by promoting apoptosis.[11][12] The effect of IFN on p53 is also linked to its protective role against certain cancers.[11]
Another function of interferons is to upregulate major histocompatibility complex molecules, MHC I and MHC II, and increase immunoproteasome activity. Higher MHC I expression increases presentation of viral peptides to cytotoxic T cells, while the immunoproteasome processes viral peptides for loading onto the MHC I molecule, thereby increasing the recognition and killing of infected cells. Higher MHC II expression increases presentation of viral peptides to helper T cells; these cells release cytokines (such as more interferons and interleukins, among others) that signal to and co-ordinate the activity of other immune cells.
Interferons, such as interferon gamma, directly activate other immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells.
Production of interferons occurs mainly in response to microbes, such as viruses and bacteria, and their products. Binding of molecules uniquely found in microbes—viral glycoproteins, viral RNA, bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide), bacterial flagella, CpG motifs—by pattern recognition receptors, such as membrane bound Toll like receptors or the cytoplasmic receptors RIG-I or MDA5, can trigger release of IFNs. Toll Like Receptor 3 (TLR3) is important for inducing interferons in response to the presence of double-stranded RNA viruses; the ligand for this receptor is double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). After binding dsRNA, this receptor activates the transcription factors IRF3 and NF-κB, which are important for initiating synthesis of many inflammatory proteins. RNA interference technology tools such as siRNA or vector-based reagents can either silence or stimulate interferon pathways.[13] Release of IFN from cells (specifically IFN-γ in lymphoid cells) is also induced by mitogens. Other cytokines, such as interleukin 1, interleukin 2, interleukin-12, tumor necrosis factor and colony-stimulating factor, can also enhance interferon production.[14]
By interacting with their specific receptors, IFNs activate signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) complexes; STATs are a family of transcription factors that regulate the expression of certain immune system genes. Some STATs are activated by both type I and type II IFNs. However each IFN type can also activate unique STATs.[15]
STAT activation initiates the most well-defined cell signaling pathway for all IFNs, the classical Janus kinase-STAT (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway.[15] In this pathway, JAKs associate with IFN receptors and, following receptor engagement with IFN, phosphorylate both STAT1 and STAT2. As a result, an IFN-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex forms—this contains STAT1, STAT2 and a third transcription factor called IRF9—and moves into the cell nucleus. Inside the nucleus, the ISGF3 complex binds to specific nucleotide sequences called IFN-stimulated response elements (ISREs) in the promoters of certain genes, known as IFN stimulated genes ISGs. Binding of ISGF3 and other transcriptional complexes activated by IFN signaling to these specific regulatory elements induces transcription of those genes.[15] A collection of known ISGs is available on Interferome, a curated online database of ISGs (www.interferome.org);[16] Additionally, STAT homodimers or heterodimers form from different combinations of STAT-1, -3, -4, -5, or -6 during IFN signaling; these dimers initiate gene transcription by binding to IFN-activated site (GAS) elements in gene promoters.[15] Type I IFNs can induce expression of genes with either ISRE or GAS elements, but gene induction by type II IFN can occur only in the presence of a GAS element.[15]
In addition to the JAK-STAT pathway, IFNs can activate several other signaling cascades. For instance, both type I and type II IFNs activate a member of the CRK family of adaptor proteins called CRKL, a nuclear adaptor for STAT5 that also regulates signaling through the C3G/Rap1 pathway.[15] Type I IFNs further activate p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) to induce gene transcription.[15] Antiviral and antiproliferative effects specific to type I IFNs result from p38 MAP kinase signaling. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is also regulated by both type I and type II IFNs. PI3K activates P70-S6 Kinase 1, an enzyme that increases protein synthesis and cell proliferation; phosphorylates of ribosomal protein s6, which is involved in protein synthesis; and phosphorylates a translational repressor protein called eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (EIF4EBP1) in order to deactivate it.[15]
Many viruses have evolved mechanisms to resist interferon activity.[17] They circumvent the IFN response by blocking downstream signaling events that occur after the cytokine binds to its receptor, by preventing further IFN production, and by inhibiting the functions of proteins that are induced by IFN.[18] Viruses that inhibit IFN signaling include Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV), dengue type 2 virus (DEN-2) and viruses of the herpesvirus family, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV8).[18][19] Viral proteins proven to affect IFN signaling include EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and EBV nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA-2) from Epstein-Barr virus, the large T antigen of Polyomavirus, the E7 protein of Human papillomavirus (HPV), and the B18R protein of vaccinia virus.[19][20] Reducing IFN-α activity may prevent signaling via STAT1, STAT2, or IRF9 (as with JEV infection) or through the JAK-STAT pathway (as with DEN-2 infection).[18] Several poxviruses encode soluble IFN receptor homologs—like the B18R protein of the vaccinia virus—that bind to and prevent IFN interacting with its cellular receptor, impeding communication between this cytokine and its target cells.[20] Some viruses can encode proteins that bind to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to prevent the activity of RNA-dependent protein kinases; this is the mechanism reovirus adopts using its sigma 3 (σ3) protein, and vaccinia virus employs using the gene product of its E3L gene, p25.[21][22][23] The ability of interferon to induce protein production from interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) can also be affected. Production of protein kinase R, for example, can be disrupted in cells infected with JEV [18] Some viruses escape the anti-viral activities of interferons by gene (and thus protein) mutation. The H5N1 influenza virus, also known as bird flu, has resistance to interferon and other anti-viral cytokines that is attributed to a single amino acid change in its Non-Structural Protein 1 (NS1), although the precise mechanism of how this confers immunity is unclear.[24]
Interferon beta-1a and interferon beta-1b are used to treat and control multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder. This treatment is effective for reducing attacks in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and slowing disease progression and activity in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.[25]
Interferon therapy is used (in combination with chemotherapy and radiation) as a treatment for some cancers.[26] This treatment can be used in hematological malignancy; leukemia and lymphomas including hairy cell leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, nodular lymphoma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.[26] Patients with recurrent melanomas receive recombinant IFN-α2b.[27] Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C are treated with IFN-α, often in combination with other antiviral drugs.[28][29] Some of those treated with interferon have a sustained virological response and can eliminate hepatitis virus. The most harmful strain—hepatitis C genotype I virus—can be treated with a 60-80% success rate with the current standard-of-care treatment of interferon-α, ribavirin and recently approved protease inhibitors such as Telaprevir (Incivek) May 2011, Boceprevir (Victrelis) May 2011 or the nucleotide analog polymerase inhibitor Sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) December 2013.[30] Biopsies of patients given the treatment show reductions in liver damage and cirrhosis. Some evidence shows giving interferon immediately following infection can prevent chronic hepatitis C, although diagnosis early in infection is difficult since physical symptoms are sparse in early hepatitis C infection. Control of chronic hepatitis C by IFN is associated with reduced hepatocellular carcinoma.[31]
Interferon treatment was evaluated in individuals suffering from herpes simplex virus epithelial keratitis. Topical interferon therapy was shown to be an effective treatment, especially with higher concentrations.[32] Interferon, either used alone or in combination with debridement, appears to be as effective as a nucleoside antiviral agent.[32] The combination of interferon and another nucleoside antiviral agent may speed the healing process.[32]
When used in the systemic therapy, IFNs are mostly administered by an intramuscular injection. The injection of IFNs in the muscle or under skin is generally well tolerated. The most frequent adverse effects are flu-like symptoms: increased body temperature, feeling ill, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, convulsion, dizziness, hair thinning, and depression. Erythema, pain and hardness on the spot of injection are also frequently observed. IFN therapy causes immunosuppression, in particular through neutropenia and can result in some infections manifesting in unusual ways.[33]

Several different types of interferons are now approved for use in humans. For example, in January 2001, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of PEGylated interferon-alpha in the USA; in this formulation, polyethylene glycol is linked to the interferon molecule to make the interferon last longer in the body. Initially used for PEGylated interferon-alpha-2b (Pegintron), approval for PEGylated interferon-alpha-2a (Pegasys) followed in October 2002. These PEGylated drugs are injected once weekly, rather than administering two or three times per week, as is necessary for conventional interferon-alpha. When used with the antiviral drug ribavirin, PEGylated interferon is effective in treatment of hepatitis C; at least 75% of people with hepatitis C genotypes 2 or 3 benefit from interferon treatment, although this is effective in less than 50% of people infected with genotype 1 (the more common form of hepatitis C virus in both the U.S. and Western Europe).[34][35][36] Interferon-containing regimens may also include protease inhibitors such as boceprevir and telaprevir.

Interferons were first described in 1957 by Alick Isaacs and Jean Lindenmann at the National Institute for Medical Research in London;[37][38][39] the discovery was a result of their studies of viral interference. Viral interference refers to the inhibition of virus growth caused by previous exposure of cells to an active or a heat-inactivated virus. Isaacs and Lindenmann were working with a system that involved the inhibition of the growth of live influenza virus in chicken embryo chorioallantoic membranes by heat-inactivated influenza virus. Their experiments revealed that this interference was mediated by a protein released by cells in the heat-inactivated influenza virus-treated membranes. They published their results in 1957 naming the antiviral factor they had discovered interferon.[38] The findings of Isaacs and Lindenmann have been widely confirmed and corroborated in the literature.[40]
Furthermore, others may have made observations on interferons before the 1957 publication of Isaacs and Lindenmann. For example, during research to produce a more efficient vaccine for smallpox, Yasu-ichi Nagano and Yasuhiko Kojima—two Japanese virologists working at the Institute for Infectious Diseases at the University of Tokyo—noticed inhibition of viral growth in an area of rabbit-skin or testis previously inoculated with UV-inactivated virus. They hypothesised that some "viral inhibitory factor" was present in the tissues infected with virus and attempted to isolate and characterize this factor from tissue homogenates.[41] Independently, Monto Ho, in John Enders's lab, observed in 1957 that attenuated poliovirus conferred a species specific anti-viral effect in human amniotic cell cultures. They described these observations in a 1959 publication, naming the responsible factor viral inhibitory factor (VIF).[42] It took another fifteen to twenty years, using somatic cell genetics, to show that the interferon action gene and interferon gene reside in different human chromosomes.[43][44][45] The purification of human beta interferon did not occur until 1977. Chris Y.H. Tan and his co-workers purified and produced biologically active, radio-labeled human beta interferon by superinducing the interferon gene in fibroblast cells, and they showed its active site contains tyrosine residues.[46][47] Tan's laboratory isolated sufficient amounts of human beta interferon to perform the first amino acid, sugar composition and N-terminal analyses.[48] They showed that human beta interferon was an unusually hydrophobic glycoprotein. This explained the large loss of interferon activity when preparations were transferred from test tube to test tube or from vessel to vessel during purification. The analyses showed the reality of interferon activity by chemical verification.[48][49][50][51] The purification of human alpha interferon was not reported until 1978. A series of publications from the laboratories of Sidney Pestka and Alan Waldman between 1978 and 1981, describe the purification of the type I interferons IFN-α and IFN-β.[39] By the early 1980s, genes for these interferons had been cloned, adding further definitive proof that interferons were responsible for interfering with viral replication.[52][53] Gene cloning also confirmed that IFN-α was encoded by a family of many related genes.[54] The type II IFN (IFN-γ) gene was also isolated around this time.[55]
Interferon was scarce and expensive until 1980, when the interferon gene was inserted into bacteria using recombinant DNA technology, allowing mass cultivation and purification from bacterial cultures[56] or derived from yeasts. Interferon can also be produced by recombinant mammalian cells.[57] Before the early 1970s, large scale production of human interferon had been pioneered by Kari Cantell. He produced large amounts of human alpha interferon from large quantities of human white blood cells collected by the Finnish Blood Bank.[58] Large amounts of human beta interferon were made by superinducing the beta interferon gene in human fibroblast cells.[59][60]
Cantell's and Tan's methods of making large amounts of natural interferon were critical for chemical characterisation, clinical trials and the preparation of small amounts of interferon messenger RNA to clone the human alpha and beta interferon genes. The superinduced human beta interferon messenger RNA was prepared by Tan's lab for Cetus corp. to clone the human beta interferon gene in bacteria and the recombinant interferon was developed as 'betaseron' and approved for the treatment of MS. Superinduction of the human beta interferon gene was also used by Israeli scientists to manufacture human beta interferon.
