• Human papillomavirus (HPV) in high-risk groups is known to suppress the type I interferon (IFN) signaling pathway leading to the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), which have many antiviral functions. However, the effects of HPV on the action of various ISGs in low-risk groups are not fully understood. We aimed to investigate whether antiviral ISGs are expressed in transfected keratinocytes with type 2 HPV (HPV-2) . The mRNA and protein expressions of ISGs and type I IFN signaling pathway components were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, immunofluorescence, and/or immunohistochemistry. Compared with normal skin, mRNA expression of all ISGs in HPV-2 positive cutaneous warts was significantly decreased ( < 0.05). In comparison with empty vector transfection, transfection significantly down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of ISGs and type I IFN signaling pathway components, which were significantly up-regulated by siRNA transfection ( < 0.05). Interestingly, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) pretreatment up-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of ISGs and type I IFN signaling pathway components, which were significantly down-regulated by transfection ( < 0.05). Our results demonstrate that EGCG is a potential candidate for cutaneous wart prevention.
