Zusammenfassung: | BPV-1 and less commonly BPV-2 are associated with the pathogenesis of equine skin tumours termed sarcoids. We recently documented the transcriptional changes that are induced by BPV-1 in equine fibroblasts using microarray analyses.
TLR4 expression was found to be significantly down-regulated by BPV-1. In the present study, we show that
TLR4 expression is significantly decreased following the exogenous expression of BPV-1 E2 and E7 in primary equine fibroblasts. The results were confirmed by the demonstration of increased
TLR4 expression following siRNA suppression of BPV-1 E2 and E7 viral gene expression. These data imply that BPV-1 is able to subvert the innate immune response by downregulation of
TLR4. |
