| SOCS-1 | Negative regulator of type I and type II interferon and other cytokines, including IL2, IL4, IL6, and leukemia inhibitory factor; Class I MHC-mediated antigen processing and presentation; inhibitor of the JAK-STAT pathway | SOCS-1 gene body was not hypermethylated in any case | [135] | IL19 | MIF-mediated glucocorticoid regulation, TGF-β pathway, and JAK-STAT pathway | Methylated gene body was reported in IGVH-mutated CLL cells | [26, 136] | IFNB1 | Interferons-mediated signaling pathway DDX58/IFIH1-mediated induction of interferon-alpha/beta, JAK-STAT pathway | Methylated gene body was identified in IGVH-mutated samples | [26, 137] | DUSP22 | Inhibitor of MAPK and STAT pathways | Silencing of DUSP22 expression in knocked-out cells resulted in increased STAT3 activity. Targeted bisulfite sequencing and methylation-specific PCR detected that the methylation levels of the DUSP22 promoter were significantly lower in DUSP22 knocked-out cells after treatment with demethylating agents, DUSP22 promoter methylation decreased and subsequently, DUSP22 mRNA levels were increased | [138] |
