IFIT1 and viral infectious disease: The expression of IFIT1 is strongly induced by IFN-I, double-stranded RNAs, and viral infection [28], and increasing evidence has demonstrated that IFIT1 has antiviral activity during both DNA and RNA virus infection, mainly by intervening in translation by differentially recognizing the 5’ terminus of target RNA [30], and it also inhibits the interferon signaling pathway [7].
