Cytidine or uridine effectively inhibits gemcitabine-induced activation of ISRE and ISGs. As expected, JAK inhibitor 1 blocked IFNα, but not gemcitabine-induced STAT1 phosphorylation, ISRE/ISG activation, and anti-HEV activity. These effects of gemcitabine were completely lost in STAT1 knockout cells. In summary, gemcitabine potently inhibits HEV replication by triggering interferon-like response through STAT1 phosphorylation but independent of Janus kinases. This represents a non-canonical antiviral mechanism, which utilizes the in
