SARS‐CoV is rapidly transmitted through aerosols, and caused 8447 reported cases with 811 deaths worldwide during a short period from February to June 2003 (<xref rid="b5" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>, <xref rid="b4" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>). Around 20% of SARS cases developed an acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring mechanical ventilation. Pathological examination of the lung indicated that bronchial epithelial denudation, loss of cilia, multinucleated syncytial cells and squamous metaplasia were found in lung tissues of SARS patients (<xref rid="b7" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>, <xref rid="b6" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>). Abnormal laboratory findings in SARS patients included lymphopenia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and an increase in aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and IL‐8 in serum (<xref rid="b9" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>, <xref rid="b8" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>).</p><p>SARS‐CoV particles contain a single positive‐stranded RNA genome that is approximately 30 kb in length and has a 5′ cap structure and 3′ polyA tract (<xref rid="b11" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>, <xref rid="b12" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>, <xref rid="b10" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>). The SARS‐CoV genome encodes for replicase, spike, envelope, membrane and nucleocapsid. The replicase gene encodes two large overlapping polypeptides (replicase 1a and 1ab, <italic>c</italic>. 450 and <italic>c</italic>. 750 kDa, respectively), including 3C‐like protease (3CL<sup>pro</sup>), RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase and RNA helicase for viral replication and transcription (<xref rid="b13" ref-type="ref">Ziebuhr <italic>et al</italic>., 2000</xref>). SARS‐CoV replicates in Vero‐E6 cells with cytopathic effects (<xref rid="b14" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>, <xref rid="b15" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>), and also induces AKT signalling‐mediated cell apoptosis (<xref rid="b16" ref-type="ref">Mizutani <italic>et al</italic>., 2004</xref>). Recently, the SARS‐CoV nucleocapsid (SARS‐CoV N) protein has been demonstrated to induce actin reorganization and apoptosis in COS‐1 monkey kidney cells by down‐regulating extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) and up‐regulating c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways (<xref rid="b17" ref-type="ref">Surjit <italic>et al</italic>., 2004</xref>). As the 3C protease of the picornaviruses poliovirus, enterovirus 71 and rhinovirus induces cell apoptosis (<xref rid="b18" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>, <xref rid="b20" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>, <xref rid="b19" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>), the possible role of SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> in virus‐induced apoptosis is of interest.</p><p>In this study, we investigated the effects of SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> on cellular functions.

The resulting plasmid pcDNA3.1‐SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> (pSARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup>) (4.5 μg), plus indicator vector pEGFP‐N1 (0.5 μg), was transfected into HL‐CZ cells, a human promonocyte cell line (<xref rid="b22" ref-type="ref">Liu <italic>et al</italic>., 1991</xref>), using the GenePorter reagent. According to the manufacturer's instructions (Gene Therapy Systems, San Diego, CA), the transfected cells were maintained in 2 mL of RPMI 1640 medium containing 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) after 5 h of incubation with a mixture of the plasmid DNA and GenePorter reagent. For the selection of the transfected cell clones, cells were incubated with RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS and 800 μg mL<sup>−1</sup> of G418.

The resultant blots were blocked with 5% skimmed milk, and then incubated with the appropriately diluted anti‐His tag monoclonal antibody (Serotec, Oxford, UK) for 3 h. The blots were then washed with 1 × Tris‐buffered saline Tween 20 (TBST) three times and overlaid with a 1 : 5000 dilution of goat antimouse IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (PerkinElmer Life Sciences Inc., Boston, MA).

To measure signal transductions, transient transfection of 3CL<sup>pro</sup>‐expressing cells and mock cells with a cis‐reporter plasmid was subsequently performed to detect the <italic>in vivo</italic> signal transduction pathway (<xref rid="f6" ref-type="fig">Fig. 6</xref>). The luciferase activity of cis‐reporter plasmids indicated that SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> activated the expression of a nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB)‐dependent reporter gene in HL‐CZ cells (2.15‐fold increase), but inhibited activator protein‐1 (AP1)‐dependent transcription (0.45‐fold decrease) (<xref rid="f6" ref-type="fig">Fig. 6</xref>). In addition, no significant effect on interferon‐stimulated response element (ISRE)‐ and interferon‐gamma‐activated site (GAS)‐dependent transcriptions was induced by SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup>.</p><fig fig-type="Figure" xml:lang="en" id="f5" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 5</label><caption><p> Reactive oxygen species production of transfected cells using dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) staining.

Interestingly, the dimer was the major 3CL<sup>pro</sup> in HL‐CZ cells, different from that in <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>‐synthesized HL‐CZ cells, where it was the monomer (<xref rid="b23" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>, <xref rid="b21" ref-type="ref">2004b</xref>). SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> influenced cell growth and induced apoptosis (<xref rid="f3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>, <xref rid="f4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). Activation of caspase‐3 and caspase‐9, but not caspase‐2 and caspase‐8, was correlated with SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup>‐induced apoptosis in HL‐CZ cells (<xref rid="f4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4</xref>). A similar caspase activity profile has been reported in poliovirus 3C‐induced apoptosis via caspase‐3 activation (<xref rid="b18" ref-type="ref">Calandria <italic>et al</italic>., 2004</xref>).</p><p>SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> caused a significant increase in ROS production in HL‐CZ cells (<xref rid="f5" ref-type="fig">Fig. 5</xref>) which, in turn, were involved in 3CL<sup>pro</sup>‐induced apoptosis. Recently, ROS‐mediated apoptosis has also been reported in viral infections, such as Japanese encephalitis virus (<xref rid="b24" ref-type="ref">Lin <italic>et al</italic>., 2004a</xref>) and influenza virus (<xref rid="b25" ref-type="ref">Uchide <italic>et al</italic>., 2002</xref>). <italic>In vivo</italic> signalling pathway assay indicated that 3CL<sup>pro</sup> increased the activation of the NF‐κB‐dependent reporter, but inhibited AP1‐dependent transcription (<xref rid="f6" ref-type="fig">Fig. 6</xref>). This finding indicates that NF‐κB, but not c‐Jun, is involved in 3CL<sup>pro</sup>‐induced apoptosis of human promonocyte cells. The transcription factor NF‐κB is produced in response to oxidative stress, being widely proposed to be involved in the mediation or prevention of apoptosis, and ROS serve as second messengers in the induction of the transcription factor NF‐κB (<xref rid="b26" ref-type="ref">Bonizzi <italic>et al</italic>., 1999</xref>). The activation of an NF‐κB‐dependent reporter gene induced by SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> (<xref rid="f6" ref-type="fig">Fig. 6</xref>) was correlated with an increase in ROS production in HL‐CZ cells. Consensus NF‐κB sites exist in the promoters of apoptosis‐related genes and proinflammatory genes (<xref rid="b27" ref-type="ref">Chen <italic>et al</italic>., 2001</xref>), such as transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β), tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), IL‐1α, IL‐6 and IL‐8. Interestingly, TGF‐β, IL‐6 and IL‐8 are greatly increased in the acute phase sera of SARS patients (<xref rid="b9" ref-type="ref">Huang <italic>et al</italic>., 2005</xref>). Therefore, the activation of the NF‐κB signal transduction pathway induced by SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> could be useful for elucidating the pathogenesis of SARS.</p><p>In conclusion, the cellular effects of SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup> in human promonocyte cells, such as growth arrest and apoptosis via caspase‐3 and caspase‐9 activities, have been well characterized in this study. ROS production and NF‐κB signalling are likely to be associated with SARS‐CoV 3CL<sup>pro</sup>‐induced pathology.</p></sec></body><back><ack id="ss13"><title>Acknowledgement</title><p>We would like to thank the National Science Council (Taiwan) and China Medical University for financial support (NSC93‐2320‐B‐039‐051, 93‐2745‐B‐039‐004‐URD and CMU‐93‐MT‐04).</p></ack><ref-list id="ss14"><title>References</title><ref id="b26"><mixed-citation publication-type="journal" id="cit1"><string-name><surname>Bonizzi</surname><given-names>G</given-names></string-name>,
