ABSTRACT
Entering the nucleus is important for Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) replication. Karyopherins (KPNs) mediate the nuclear import of many cytoplasmic proteins. Our previous study showed that KPNA3 is involved in interferon production during PCV2 infection induced by Poly IC and ISD (Interferon stimulatory DNA). However, it remains unclear whether PCV2 replication is associated with KPNA3. In the present study, knockdown of KPNA3 promoted the replication of PCV2, whereas overexpression of KPNA3 inhibited PCV2 replication in PK-15 cells. Furthermore, KPNA3 knockdown inhibited IRF3 and reduced the expression of antiviral genes including IFN-ß, ISG54, Mx1 and ISG56, while the opposite results were obtained after KPNA3 overexpression. KPNA3 knockdown also promoted p65 nuclear translocation and increased the mRNA expression of IL-10 and IL-1ß. These results suggested that KPNA3 facilitates IRF3 entry into the nucleus and the production of an antiviral response, resulting in PCV2 replication inhibition and blockage of NF-κB signal activation.
