The innate cellular-response to virus particle entry in non-immune cells requires the transcriptional activity of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3), but not production of type I interferon (IFN). Here, we characterize the IFN-independent innate cellular response to virus-derived stimuli in Vero cells, a monkey kidney epithelial cell line deficient for IFN production. We provide evidence that Vero cells are deficient in their ability to mount an IRF-3-dependent, IFN-independent antiviral response against either incoming Virus particles or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (pIC), a dsRNA mimetic. We further demonstrate that abundance of IRF-3 protein is a determinant in the pIC-mediated antiviral signalling pathway. These observations further characterize the permissive nature of Vero cells to viral infection, and highlight the Crucial involvement of IRF-3 in the innate antiviral response. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
