The contributions of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) viral interleukin-6 (vIL-6) to virus biology remain unclear. Here we examined the role of vIL-6/gp130 signaling in HHV-8 productive replication in primary effusion lymphoma and endothelial cells. Depletion and depletion-complementation experiments revealed that endoplasmic reticulum-localized vIL-6 activity via gp130 and gp130-activated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation, was critical for vIL-6 proreplication activity. Our data significantly extend current understanding of vIL-6 function and associated mechanisms in HHV-8 biology.
人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV - 8)的病毒白细胞介素6(vIL - 6)对病毒生物学的贡献仍不清楚。在此,我们研究了vIL - 6/gp130信号传导在原发性渗出性淋巴瘤和内皮细胞中HHV - 8生产性复制中的作用。缺失和缺失互补实验表明,通过gp130和gp130激活的信号转导和转录激活因子(STAT)信号传导的内质网定位的vIL - 6活性,而非细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)激活,对vIL - 6的促复制活性至关重要。我们的数据显著扩展了目前对HHV - 8生物学中vIL - 6功能及相关机制的理解。
