Host cells sense double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) produced during viral replication and initiate type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) production, leading to subsequent antiviral responses. Many viruses, including classical swine fever virus (CSFV), have developed strategies for counteracting the IFN-alpha/beta response. In this study, we explored the role of the CSFV E-rns glycoprotein in the inhibition of IFN-beta production induced by dsRNA [poly(IC)]. Our results demonstrated that CSFV E-rns could bind to exogenous dsRNA and inhibit dsRNA-induced IFN-beta production but failed to inhibit TRIF-triggered IFN-beta production. Our data suggest that the inhibition of IFN-beta induction occurred at the initial step of the TLR3 signaling pathway. We also showed that deglycosylation of E-rns rendered it unable to bind to dsRNA, and thus unable to inhibit dsRNA-induced IFN-beta production. Taken together, these results indicated that N-glycan of CSFV E-rns is essential for E-rns blocking of IFN-beta induction. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
