The etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). The HTLV-I protein Tax alters gene expression, including those of cytokines and their receptors, which plays an important role in early stages of ATL. Here we demonstrate that expression of interleukin-9 (IL-9) is activated by Tax via an NF-kappaB motif in its proximal promoter, whereas IL-9 receptor-alpha (IL-9Ralpha) expression is not induced by Tax. However, supporting a role for IL-9/IL-9Ra ...[more]
