Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes hepatic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. These diseases are closely associated with persistent HBV infection. To prevent the progression of hepatic diseases, it is thus important to suppress persistent HBV infection. Daunorubicin (DNR), a topoisomerase II (Top II) poison, is a clinically used anticancer agent with a wide spectrum of activity against malignancies. DNR was recently reported to cause DNA damage-dependent interferon (IFN)-beta induction through exogenous cyclic GMP-AMP synthetase (cGAS) and subsequently to suppress Ebola virus replication. In the present study, we demonstrated that DNR caused the inhibition of cell proliferation, but not cell death, through the DNA damage response in immortalized human hepatocyte NKNT-3/NTCP cells. Interestingly, DNR triggered the endogenous cGAS-dependent innate immune response and subsequently suppressed viral production of HBV in NKNT-3/NTCP cells. Top II poisons may be anti-HBV drug candidates. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
