Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) causes Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV infection of cells produces both latent and lytic cycles of infection. , the virus is found predominantly in the latent state. , a lytic infection can be induced in KSHV-infected cells by treating with phorbol ester (TPA). However, the exact signalling events that lead to the reactivation of KSHV lytic infection are still elusive. Here, a role is demonstrated for B-Raf/MEK/ERK signalling in TPA-induced reactivation of KSHV latent infection. Inhibiting MEK/ERK signalling by using MEK-specific inhibitors decreased expression of the TPA-induced KSHV lytic-cycle gene ORF8. Transfection of BCBL-1 cells with B-Raf small interfering RNA inhibited TPA-induced KSHV lytic infection significantly. Additionally, overexpression of MEK1 induced a lytic cycle of KSHV infection in BCBL-1 cells. The significance of these findings in understanding the biology of KSHV-associated pathogenesis is discussed.
