| epstein-barr virus positivity is associated with angiogenesis in, and poorer survival of, patients receiving standard treatment for classical hodgkin's lymphoma. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) is a significant contributor to the development of classical hodgkin's lymphoma (chl). recent studies have documented associations between angiogenesis and ebv-associated malignancies. no study has yet examined the associations among, and prognostic implications of, ebv infection, vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) expression, and microvessel density (mvd) in chl patients. diagnostic tissues from 135 chl patients treated with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, an ... | 2017 | 28744882 |
| a b cell-driven autoimmune pathway leading to pathological hallmarks of progressive multiple sclerosis in the marmoset experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model. | the absence of pathological hallmarks of progressive multiple sclerosis (ms) in commonly used rodent models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae) hinders the development of adequate treatments for progressive disease. work reviewed here shows that such hallmarks are present in the eae model in marmoset monkeys (callithrix jacchus). the minimal requirement for induction of progressive ms pathology is immunization with a synthetic peptide representing residues 34-56 from human myelin ... | 2017 | 28744286 |
| dna oncogenic virus-induced oxidative stress, genomic damage, and aberrant epigenetic alterations. | approximately 20% of human cancers is attributable to dna oncogenic viruses such as human papillomavirus (hpv), hepatitis b virus (hbv), and epstein-barr virus (ebv). unrepaired dna damage is the most common and overlapping feature of these dna oncogenic viruses and a source of genomic instability and tumour development. sustained dna damage results from unceasing production of reactive oxygen species and activation of inflammasome cascades that trigger genomic changes and increased propensity o ... | 2017 | 28740569 |
| evaluation of antigen-specific igm and igg production during an in vitro peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture assay. | the recent attention given to diseases associated with memory b-cell (mbc)-produced antibodies (abs) suggests the need for a similar in vitro assay to evaluate the functions of mbcs. here, we cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) with the intent to collect mbc-derived abs in vitro and maintain their cell-cell contact-dependent interactions with helper t-cells. pbmcs were cultured with interleukin (il)-21, cpg-oligodeoxynucleotides (odn), phorbol myristate acetate (pma), and phytohe ... | 2017 | 28740496 |

| distinct oxysterol requirements for positioning naïve and activated dendritic cells in the spleen. | correct positioning of dendritic cells (dcs) is critical for efficient pathogen encounter and antigen presentation. epstein-barr virus-induced gene 2 (ebi2) has been identified as a chemoattractant receptor required for naïve cd4(+)dcir2(+) dc positioning in response to 7α,25-hydroxycholesterol (7α,25-hc). we now provide evidence that a second ebi2 ligand, 7α,27-hc, is involved in splenic dcir2(+) dc positioning and homeostasis. cyp27a1, the enzyme uniquely required for 7α,27-hc synthesis, is ex ... | 2017 | 28738017 |
| cytokine expression associated with helicobacter pylori and epstein-barr virus infection in gastric carcinogenesis. | helicobacter pylori and epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection, and associated cytokines are involved in gastric carcinogenesis. we investigated the expression of these cytokines and their relationship with clinicopathological characteristics. the study included specimens from 207 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, 56 with chronic gastritis, 32 with metaplasia, and 30 with low-grade epithelial dysplasia. tissue microarrays were constructed and immunohistochemical staining for il-1β, il-6, il-10, ... | 2017 | 28736845 |
| rps27a enhances ebv-encoded lmp1-mediated proliferation and invasion by stabilizing of lmp1. | epstein-barr virus (ebv)-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (lmp1) is an oncoviral protein that plays a pivotal role in ebv-induced oncogenic transformation. the function of lmp1 in ebv-induced oncogenesis has been well studied. however, the molecular mechanisms underlying lmp1 protein stability remain poorly understood. in this study, we found that ribosomal protein s27a (rps27a) regulates lmp1 stability by a tandem affinity purification analysis. rps27a interacts directly with lmp1 in vitro and ... | 2017 | 28735865 |
| association of clinical and serological parameters of systemic lupus erythematosus patients with epstein-barr virus antibody profile. | epstein-barr viral infection is one of the known environmental factors involved in development of systemic lupus erythematous (sle). though not much is known about the exact role of ebv in sle pathogenesis, the theory of switching of lytic and lysogenic cycles of epstein-barr virus in memory b-cells fits well with the periods of waning disease activity and intermittent flares in sle patients. in this study, we investigate the association of ebv antibody profile with clinical and serological para ... | 2017 | 28734074 |
| lmp1-mediated glycolysis induces myeloid-derived suppressor cell expansion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | myeloid-derived suppressor cells (mdscs) are expanded in tumor microenvironments, including that of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc). the link between mdsc expansion and ebv infection in npc is unclear. here, we show that ebv latent membrane protein 1 (lmp1) promotes mdsc expansion in the tumor microenvironment by promoting extra-mitochondrial glycolysis in malignant cells, which is a scenario for immune escape initially suggested by the frequent, concomitant de ... | 2017 | 28732079 |
| exploring the effect of vitamin d3 supplementation on the anti-ebv antibody response in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection and vitamin d insufficiency are potentially interacting risk factors for multiple sclerosis (ms). | 2017 | 28731372 |

| exposure to the epstein-barr viral antigen latent membrane protein 1 induces myelin-reactive antibodies in vivo. | multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (cns). cross-reactivity of neuronal proteins with exogenous antigens is considered one of the possible mechanisms of ms triggering. previously, we showed that monoclonal myelin basic protein (mbp)-specific antibodies from ms patients cross-react with epstein-barr virus (ebv) latent membrane protein 1 (lmp1). in this study, we report that exposure of mice to lmp1 results in induction of myelin-reac ... | 2017 | 28729867 |
| the epstein-barr virus brrf1 gene is dispensable for viral replication in hek293 cells and transformation. | the epstein-barr virus (ebv) is a gamma-herpesvirus associated with several malignancies. it establishes a latent infection in b lymphocytes and is occasionally reactivated to enter the lytic cycle. here we examined the role of the ebv gene brrf1, which is expressed in the lytic state. we first confirmed, using a dna polymerase inhibitor, that the brrf1 gene is expressed with early kinetics. a brrf1-deficient recombinant virus was constructed using a bacterial artificial chromosome system. no ob ... | 2017 | 28729695 |
| p53 deregulation in epstein-barr virus-associated gastric cancer. | tp53 is a tumour suppressor gene frequently mutated in human cancers; nevertheless, in ebv-associated malignancies mutations are uncommon despite frequent deregulation of the p53 pathway. in this study, we aimed to investigate p53 expression, tp53 mrna levels and tp53 mutations in ebv-associated gastric carcinoma (ebvagc). a case-control study was performed using 46 patients: 15 ebvagc and 31 ebv-negative gc (ebvngc) cases. p53 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry (ihc), the evaluatio ... | 2017 | 28729047 |
| approaches to controlled co-amplification of genes for production of biopharmaceuticals: study of the insertion and amplification dynamics of genetic cassettes in the genome of chinese hamster ovary cells during co-expression of compatible pair of plasmids. | plasmid vector family p1.1 based on non-coding regions of chinese hamster housekeeping gene eef1a and concatemer of epstein-barr virus terminal repeat increases the frequency of genome integration and provides rapid amplification of the target genes in the genome. for a pair of fluorescent proteins egfp and mcherry it was shown that p1.1 vectors bearing dihydrofolate reductase and glutamine synthetase selection markers upon co-transfection into cho dg44 cell line allow obtaining a polyclonal cel ... | 2017 | 28726207 |
| epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated epithelial and non-epithelial lesions of the oral cavity. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) is known to be associated with the development of malignant lymphoma and lymphoproliferative disorders (lpds) in immunocompromised patients. ebv, a b-lymphotropic gamma-herpesvirus, causes infectious mononucleosis and oral hairy leukoplakia, as well as various pathological types of lymphoid malignancy. furthermore, ebv is associated with epithelial malignancies such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc), salivary gland tumor, gastric carcinoma and breast carcinoma. in terms ... | 2017 | 28725300 |
| viral driven epigenetic events alter the expression of cancer-related genes in epstein-barr-virus naturally infected burkitt lymphoma cell lines. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) was identified as the first human virus to be associated with a human malignancy, burkitt's lymphoma (bl), a pediatric cancer endemic in sub-saharan africa. the exact mechanism of how ebv contributes to the process of lymphomagenesis is not fully understood. recent studies have highlighted a genetic difference between endemic (ebv+) and sporadic (ebv-) bl, with the endemic variant showing a lower somatic mutation load, which suggests the involvement of an alternative vir ... | 2017 | 28724958 |
| translesion polymerase, pol η, is required for efficient epstein-barr virus infectivity and is regulated by the viral deubiquitinating enzyme, bplf1. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection and lytic replication are known to induce a cellular dna damage response. previously we showed that the virally encoded bplf1 protein interacts with and regulates several members of the translesion synthesis pathway (tls), a dna damage tolerance pathway, and that these cellular factors enhance viral infectivity. bplf1 is a late lytic cycle gene, but the protein is also packaged in the viral tegument indicating that bplf1 may function both early and late during ... | 2017 | 28724765 |
| subclinical herpesvirus shedding among hiv-1-infected men on antiretroviral therapy. | we evaluated the subclinical shedding of 6 different herpesviruses in antiretroviral drug-treated hiv(+) men who have sex with men (msm), and determined how this is associated with markers of inflammation and immune activation. | 2017 | 28723708 |
| oral shedding of herpesviruses in hiv+ patients with varying degrees of immune status. | herpesvirus shedding in the oral cavity was analyzed to determine if presence in the oral compartment correlates with systemic changes in hiv-associated immune deficiency as measured by cd4+ counts, plasma hiv viral load (vl) and presence of aids-defining events. | 2017 | 28723706 |
