We have previously demonstrated that hepatitis B virus (HBV)
replication and gene expression are abolished in the livers of HBV
transgenic mice by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and during lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection, stimuli that trigger the production of alpha/beta interferon, gamma interferon, and
tumor necrosis factor alpha in the liver. We now report that hepatic
HBV replication and gene expression are inhibited by the local
induction of these cytokines during adenovirus- and murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV)-induced hepatitis. Further, we show that MCMV
also blocks HBV replication and gene expression in the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney by causing interstitial nephritis and
inducing the same cytokines in the renal parenchyma. These results
suggest that inflammatory cytokines probably contribute to viral
clearance during acute viral hepatitis in humans, and they imply that
induction of these cytokines in the liver and other infected tissues of
chronically infected patients might have therapeutic value.
