Upon viral infection, host cells trigger antiviral immune responses by inducing type I IFN and inflammatory cytokines. dsRNA generated during viral replication is recognized by the cytoplasmic RNA helicases retinoic acid-inducible gene I and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5, which interact with an adaptor, IFN-β promoter stimulator-1, to activate the transcription factors NF-κB and IFN regulatory factor 3. In this article we demonstrate that caspase-8 and caspase-10 are involved in these pathways. Both caspases were cleaved during dsRNA stimulation, and overexpression of a cleaved form of these caspases activated NF-κB. Knockdown of caspase-10 or caspase-8 in a human cell line resulted in the reduction of inflammatory cytokine production. Cells derived from caspase-8-deficient mice also showed reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines as well as NF-κB activation. Furthermore, the Fas-associated death domain protein interacted with these two caspases and IFN-β promoter stimulator 1. These results indicate that caspase-8 and caspase-10 are essential components that mediate NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses in antiviral signaling.
