- Interferon-Gamma (IFNγ)
- STAT1
- 4–8 fold increase within 6–12 hours; returns to baseline in 48–72 hours
- Viral infection, acute immune activation
- Dominant acute activator. Drives the sharpest surge in thymosin alpha-1 gene expression but is transient
- TNF-Alpha / IL-1β
- NFκB (p65/p50)
- 2–4 fold increase within 3–6 hours; sustained as long as inflammation persists
- Bacterial infection, tissue injury, autoimmune flares
- Sustains moderate expression during prolonged inflammation. Synergizes with STAT1 during co-stimulation
- IL-6
- STAT3
- 1.5–3 fold increase; slow onset (12–24 hours), prolonged duration
- Chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease
- Maintains baseline-to-moderate expression over weeks; drives cleavage bottlenecks through lysosomal dysfunction
- Oxidative Stress
- AP-1 (c-Fos/c-Jun)
- 2–3 fold increase within 4–8 hours; dependent on ROS levels
- Sepsis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heavy metal exposure
- Activates transcription through TRE elements. Overlaps with NFκB during severe stress but less potent alone
