Abstract

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) plays a critical role in Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) biology. Indeed, the EBV genome contains a gene (BCRF1) with homology to the human IL-10 (hIL-10) gene. In addition to viral IL-10, which is secreted late in the productive cycle, hIL-10 production is also induced in B cells infected by EBV. The EBV protein LMP-1 and the viral small non-polyadenylated RNAs (EBERs) expressed during latency are involved in hIL-10 induction. In this study, we show that in B cells the viral transcription factor EB1, which is the main inducer of the EBV productive cycle, also activates transcription of the hIL-10 gene and secretion of the hIL-10 protein. Accordingly, EB1 bound directly to specific DNA sequences in the hIL-10 minimal promoter. Moreover, specific disruption of EB1 binding to some of these sites impaired EB1-mediated activation of transcription at the hIL-10 promoter in a transient expression assay. Therefore, an increase in IL-10 production occurs during latency and early and late during the productive cycle. This production of IL-10 might favour the survival of EBV-infected cells and/or create a microenvironment required for efficient infection of B lymphocytes by EBV virions.
