EBV induces CD95 expression and C95 gene is regulated by NF- B, STAT1 and/or p53. To understand the contribution of these factors in the regulation of CD95 by EBV in lymphoblastoid cells (LCL), we have cloned dominant active I- B , active (STAT1 ) and inactive (STAT1 ) forms of STAT1, p53, a dominant negative mutant of LMP1 and wild type LMP1 into a novel double inducible episomal vector, pRT-1. These plasmids were stably transfected either into wild type LCLs or in EREB2-5 cells, an LCL with an estrogen-regulatable EBNA2 protein. Inhibition of LMP1 signalling decreased expression of CD95, whereas over-expression of LMP1 markedly increased it. Induction of latency III program in EREB 2-5 cells correlated with activation of NF- B, STAT1 and p53. CD95 expression was regulated by these 3 transcriptional systems. STAT1 and p53 activation were secondary to NF- B activation. CD95 surface expression sensitised EBV-infected B-cells to induction of CD95-mediated apoptosis. In vitro inhibition of CD95-CD95 ligand interaction was found to reverse T-cell killing of EBV infected B-cells. Therefore, LMP1 activation of NF- B sensitises infected B-cells to CD95-mediated apoptosis and renders EBV-latency III immortalised B-cells susceptible to elimination by the immune system, allowing the establishment a host/virus equilibrium.
