Human HepaRG cells are liver progenitors which possess hepatocyte-like functionality. We investigated the effects of double-stranded (ds) RNA on interferon (IFN)-beta and chemokine (CK) expression in these cells. By microarray and ELISA, we showed strong induction of CXCL10 and interleulin (IL)-8 besides IFN-beta and other CK ligands. RNA interference directed silencing of TLR3, RIG-I, IRF3, NFkappaB or MAP kinases (p38, ERK, JNK) was carried out. Knockdown of all these molecules, except ERK and JNK, blocked IFN-beta production. Both TLR3 and RIG-I are required for CXCL10 expression. Silencing of TLR3 completely impaired the IL-8 expression. dsRNA-conditioned medium from HepaRG cells exerted a drastic antiviral effect in HCV replicons, and in the JFH-1-based HCV production cell culture system. The IFN-beta knockdown in HepaRG cells removed this antiviral effect but did not enhance their capacity to initiate HCV RNA replication. We conclude that dsRNA induces antiviral and pro-inflammatory status in HepaRG cells.
