NF-kappa B, a family of transcription factors involved in different cell functions and immune responses is targeted by viruses. The mechanism of NF-kappa B signalling and its role in replication of EAV have not been investigated. We demonstrate that EAV infection in BHK-21 cells activates NF-kappa B, and this activation was found to be mediated through the MyD88 pathway. Infection of IKK beta(-/-) murine embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), which are deficient in NF-kappa B signalling, resulted in lower virus titre, less cytopathic effect, and reduced expression of viral proteins. These findings implicate the MyD88 pathway in EAV-induced NF-kappa B activation and suggest that NF-kappa B activation is essential for efficient replication of EAV.
