Abstract
-
Interferon regulatory factor-5 (IRF-5), a member of the mammalian
IRF transcription factor family, is regulated by p53,
type I interferon and virus infection. IRF-5 participates in
virus-induced TLR-mediated innate immune responses and
may play a role as a tumor suppressor. It was suppressed in
various EBV-infected transformed cells, thus it is valuable to
identify the suppression mechanism. We focused on a promoter
CpG islands methylation, a kind of epigenetic regulation
in EBV-associated Burkitt’s lymphomas (BLs) and gastric
carcinomas. IRF-5 is not detected in most of EBV-infected
BL cell lines due to hypermethylation of IRF-5 distal
promoter (promoter-A), which was restored by a demethylating
agent, 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine. Hypomethylation of
CpG islands in promoter-A was observed only in EBV type III
latent infected BL cell lines (LCL and Mutu III). Similarly,
during EBV infection to Akata-4E3 cells, IRF-5 was observed
at early time periods (2 days to 8 weeks), concomitant unmethylation
of promoter-A, but suppressed in later infection
periods as observed in latency I BL cell lines. Moreover, hypermethylation
in IRF-5 promoter-A region was also observed
in EBV-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC) cell lines or
primary gastric carcinoma tissues, which show type I latent
infection. In summary, IRF-5 is suppressed by hypermethylation
of its promoter-A in most of EBV-infected transformed
cells, especially BLs and EBVaGC. EBV-induced carcinogenesis
takes an advantage of proliferative effects of TLR
signaling, while limiting IRF-5 mediated negative effects in
the establishment of EBVaGCs.
