We have studied the effects of lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) on the Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-mediated induction of
cytokine genes expression. Raw cells treated with LPS before or after
virus infection showed down-regulation in the expression of interferon A and, to a lesser extent, interferon B genes. In contrast, induction of the interleukin (IL)-6 gene was enhanced. The effects of LPS were
not a result of the suppression of virus replication, because the
transcription of viral nucleocapsid gene was not affected. Consistent
with these findings, LPS also suppressed the NDV-mediated induction of
chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene driven by murine
interferon A4 promoter in a transient transfection assay. Furthermore,
LPS inhibited virus-mediated phosphorylation of interferon regulatory
factor (IRF)-3 and the consequent translocation of IRF-3 from cytoplasm
to nucleus. The LPS-mediated inhibition of IFNA gene expression was
much weaker in infected Raw cells that constitutively overexpressed
IRF-3. The nuclear translocation of IRF-7 in infected cells was also
inhibited by LPS. These data suggest that LPS down-regulates the
virus-mediated induction of IFNA genes by post-translationally
targeting the IRF-3 and IRF-7 proteins.
