Permissive Vero cells develop apoptosis, as characterized by DNA fragmentation, caspases activation, cytosolic release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, and flow cytometric analysis of DNA content, upon infection with African swine fever virus (ASFV). To determine the step in virus replication that triggers apoptosis, we used UV-inactivated virus, inhibitors of protein and nucleic acid synthesis, and lysosomotropic drugs that block virus uncoating. ASFV-induced apoptosis was accompanied by caspase-3 activation, which was detected even in the presence of either cytosine arabinoside or cycloheximide, indicating that viral DNA replication and protein synthesis were not required to activate the apoptotic process The activation of caspase-3 was released from chloroquine inhibition 2 h after virus absorption, while the infection with UV-inactivated ASFV did not induce the activation of the caspase cascade, We conclude that ASFV induces apoptosis in the infected cell by an intracellular pathway probably triggered during the process of virus uncoating.
