Infection of human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces the secretion of soluble factors including interferon (IFN)-beta that stimulates human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I expression. In this study, the mechanism of IFN-beta induction by HCMV was investigated. In HCMV-infected HFF cells, IFN-beta secretion increased at 6h post infection (h.p.i.). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis using ultra violet (UV)-inactivated HCMV indicated that viral gene expression is not necessary for the stimulation of IFN-beta. Stimulation of IFN-beta by HCMV infection was not blocked by cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, further suggesting that the expression of HCMV genes is not required for the stimulation of IFN-beta gene transcription. IFN-beta may be produced from virus-infected cells as an inflammatory response and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) plays a central role in inflammatory response. HCMV failed to induce the IFN-beta expression, when the virus-infected cells were treated with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of NF-kappaB, or LY294002 and wortmannin, inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K). The result suggests that PI3-K and/or NF-kappaB may be related with the induction pathway of IFN-beta by HCMV.
