Abstract: | TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate), a well-known activator of protein kinase C (PKC), can experimentally induce reactivation of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in certain latently infected cells. We selectively blocked the activity of PKC isoforms by using GF 109203X or rottlerin and demonstrated that this inhibition largely decreased lytic KSHV reactivation by TPA. Translocation of the PKCdelta isoform was evident shortly after TPA stimulation. Overexpression of the dominant-negative PKCdelta mutant supported an essential role for the PKCdelta isoform in virus reactivation, yet overexpression of PKCdelta alone was not sufficient to induce lytic reactivation of KSHV, suggesting that additional signaling molecules participate in this pathway. |
