Abstract

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is able to induce interferon-alpha production by natural IFN-alpha-producing cells. In this study, signal transduction in this process was examined. It was found that sequestering of calcium by EGTA abolished IFN-alpha induction by HSV-infected cells. Stimulation of human PBMC by HSV-1-infected fibroblasts resulted in the production of inositol triphosphate (InsP3) and tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins. The protein kinase C inhibitor, H7, and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, were able to suppress IFN-alpha gene expression as determined by IFN bioassay and RT-PCR. An IFN-alpha-specific ELISpot assay revealed that herbimycin A and H7 remarkably decreased the number of IFN-alpha-producing cells. PMA or calcium ionophore A23187 alone did not increase IFN-alpha production. However, PMA in conjugation with ionophores increased IFN-alpha production as early as 2 h. HA1004 and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine, which are potent inhibitors of PKA pathway, had no effect on IFN-alpha production. In contrast, BrcAMP, a specific PKA activator, inhibited the IFN-alpha secretion and number of IFN-alpha-producing cells and to a lesser extent reduced the level of IFN-alpha mRNA. Our results indicate that protein kinase C, tyrosine kinases, and protein kinase A are involved in the regulation of IFN-alpha production in response to HSV-1.
