Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is considered to preferentially develop in equatorial Africa because of chronic co-infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the malaria pathogen Plasmodium falciparum. The interaction and contribution of both pathogens in the oncogenic process are poorly understood. Earlier, we showed that immune activation with a synthetic Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) ligand suppresses the initiation of EBV lytic replication in primary human B cells. In this study we investigate the mechanism involved in the suppression of EBV lytic gene expression in BL cell lines. We show that this suppression is dependent on functional TLR9 and MyD88 signaling but independent of downstream signaling elements, including phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-kappaB. We identified TLR9 triggering resulting in histone modifications to negatively affect the activation of the promoter of EBV's master regulatory lytic gene BZLF1. Finally, we show that P. falciparum hemozoin, a natural TLR9 ligand, suppresses induction of EBV lytic gene expression in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, we provide evidence for a possible interaction between P. falciparum and EBV at the B-cell level and the mechanism involved in suppressing lytic and thereby reinforcing latent EBV that has unique oncogenic potential.
