Systemic chronic active Epstein-Ban virus (EBV; sCAEBV) infection, T- and natural killer (NK)-cell type (sCAEBV), is a fatal disorder accompanied by persisting inflammation harboring clonal proliferation of EBV-infected T or NK cells. Today's chemotherapy is insufficient to resolve disease activity and to rid infected cells of sCAEBV. The currently established treatment strategy for eradicating infected cells is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this study, we focused on the effects of proteasome inhibitor bortezomib on the disease. Bortezomib suppressed survival and induced apoptosis of EBV+ T- or NK-cell lines and peripheral mononuclear cells containing EBV-infected T or NK cells of sCAEBV patients. Bortezomib enhanced binding immunoglobulin protein/78-kDa glucoseregulated protein (Bip/GRP78) expression induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress and activated apoptosis-promoting molecules INK and p38 in the cell lines. Bortezomib suppressed the activation of survival-promoting molecule NF-kappa B, which was constitutively activated in EBV+ T- or NK-cell lines. Furthermore, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that bortezomib suppressed messenger RNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (INF-alpha) and interferon -gamma (IFN-gamma) in EBV+ T or NK cells from the patients. Finally, we examined the effects of bortezomib using xenograft models of sCAEBV generated by IV injection of patients' cells. The intraperitoneal administration of bortezomib significantly reduced EBVDNA load in peripheral blood and the infiltration of EBV-infected cells in the models' livers. Moreover, the serum concentration of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma decreased after bortezomib treatment to the models. Our findings will be translated into the treatment of sCAEBV not only to reduce the number of tumor cells but also to suppress inflammation.
