At first, in order to test if the anti-enteroviral activity of gemcitabine is related with the inhibition of pyrimidine biosynthesis, HeLa cells were infected with CVB3 and simultaneously treated with excessive 4 nucleosides (adenosine, guanosine, uridine and cytidine) in the presence of various doses of gemcitabine for 8 hours. HeLa cells were treated with increasing doses of gemcitabine or IFN-α for 24 hours and then total RNAs were prepared for quantitative real-time PCRs. As a result, gemcitabine strongly induced two genes (IFIT1 and DDX58) up to and UMP) (100 μM) of pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway were treated as described in Figure 1A (A) and in Figure 1B (B) . ./cache/cord-320338-jv76j6wx.txt ./txt/cord-320338-jv76j6wx.txt
