the transcription factor hobit identifies human cytotoxic cd4(+) t cells.the t cell lineage is commonly divided into cd4-expressing helper t cells that polarize immune responses through cytokine secretion and cd8-expressing cytotoxic t cells that eliminate infected target cells by virtue of the release of cytotoxic molecules. recently, a population of cd4(+) t cells that conforms to the phenotype of cytotoxic cd8(+) t cells has received increased recognition. these cytotoxic cd4(+) t cells display constitutive expression of granzyme b and perforin at the protein leve ...201728392788
herpesviruses hijack host exosomes for viral pathogenesis.herpesviruses are remarkable pathogens possessing elaborate mechanisms to seize various host cellular components for immune evasion, replication, and virion egress. as viruses are dependent upon their hosts, investigating this intricate interplay has revealed that the exosome pathway is utilised by alpha (herpes simplex virus 1), beta (human cytomegalovirus, and human herpesvirus 6) and gamma (epstein-barr virus, and kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus) herpesviruses. virions and exosomes shar ...201728456604
histone h4k20 tri-methylation at late-firing origins ensures timely heterochromatin replication.among other targets, the protein lysine methyltransferase pr-set7 induces histone h4 lysine 20 monomethylation (h4k20me1), which is the substrate for further methylation by the suv4-20h methyltransferase. although these enzymes have been implicated in control of replication origins, the specific contribution of h4k20 methylation to dna replication remains unclear. here, we show that h4k20 mutation in mammalian cells, unlike in drosophila, partially impairs s-phase progression and protects from d ...201728778956
the histological and biological spectrum of diffuse large b-cell lymphoma in the world health organization classification.diffuse large b-cell lymphomas (dlbcls) are aggressive b-cell lymphomas that are clinically, pathologically, and genetically diverse, in part reflecting the functional diversity of the b-cell system. the focus in recent years has been toward incorporation of clinical features, morphology, immunohistochemistry, and ever evolving genetic data into the classification scheme. the 2008 world health organization classification reflects this complexity with the addition of several new entities and vari ...201723006945

hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with epstein-barr virus in the central nervous system.hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (hlh) is a rare immune hyperactivation syndrome which may be primary (genetic) or secondary to various immune-related conditions including infection, immunodeficiency, and malignancies. rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential because it can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. epstein-barr virus (ebv) is a known infectious cause of acquired hlh, but ebv-associated hlh involving the central nervous system is rare and not well characterized ...201727574808
potential interest in circulating mir-bart17-5p as a post-treatment biomarker for prediction of recurrence in epstein-barr virus-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma.epstein-barr virus (ebv)-related micornas (mirnas), bamhi-a rightward transcripts (bart)-mirnas, are released in a stable form from viable cells, which are abundant in patients with ebv-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc). we estimated copy numbers of circulating mir-bart2-5p, mir-bart17-5p, and mir-bart18-5p as well as bamhi-w dna as biomarkers.201727684719
mutagenesis and genome engineering of epstein-barr virus in cultured human cells by crispr/cas9.the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (crispr)-crispr associated protein 9 nuclease (cas9) system is a powerful genome-editing tool for both chromosomal and extrachromosomal dna. dna viruses such as epstein-barr virus (ebv), which undergoes episomal replication in human cells, can be effectively edited by crispr/cas9. we have demonstrated targeted editing of the ebv genome by crispr/cas9 in several lines of ebv-infected cells. crispr/cas9-based mutagenesis and genome engi ...201727709566
the epstein-barr virus dna load in the peripheral blood of transplant recipients does not accurately reflect the burden of infected cells.transplant recipients frequently exhibit an increased epstein-barr virus (ebv) load in the peripheral blood. here, we quantitated the ebv-infected cells in the peripheral blood of these patients and defined the mode of viral infection, latent or lytic. these data indicated that there is no strong correlation between the number of infected cells and the ebv load (ebvl). this can be explained by a highly variable number of ebv copies per infected cell and by lytic replication in some cells. the pl ...201727717030
constitutive activation of t cells by γ2-herpesviral gpcr through the interaction with cellular cxcr4.members of the herpesviral family use multiple strategies to hijack infected host cells and exploit cellular signaling for their pathogenesis and latent infection. among the most intriguing weapons in the arsenal of pathogenic herpesviruses are the constitutively active virally-encoded g protein-coupled receptors (vgpcrs). even though vgpcrs contribute to viral pathogenesis such as immune evasion and proliferative disorders, the molecular details of how vgpcrs continuously activate cellular sign ...201727751885

the impact of ebv and hiv infection on the microenvironmental niche underlying hodgkin lymphoma pathogenesis.the pathogenesis of classical hodgkin lymphoma (chl) is still enigmatic, largely because its tumor cells, the so-called hodgkin and reed-stenberg (hrs) cells, invariably reside in a prominent reactive microenvironment, are rare and therefore difficult to analyze. on the other hand, the broadly investigated chl-derived cell lines are not unequivocally considered as suitable and representative models for this puzzling disease. based on current knowledge, it appears that the cross talk between the ...201727750386
no definite clinical features of immunoglobulin g4-related disease in patients with pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia.pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (pnlh) may show heavy lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates with increased immunoglobulin g4 (igg4)-positive plasma cells as in igg4-related disease (igg4-rd). however, it is unclear whether pnlh could be a manifestation of igg4-rd. a recent study reported the presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) in igg4-related lymphadenopathy. we postulated that a subset of pnlh might represent igg4-related lung disease with ebv-positive lymphocytes as has been reported in igg4-r ...201727720730
ganetespib, an hsp90 inhibitor, kills epstein-barr virus (ebv)-infected b and t cells and reduces the percentage of ebv-infected cells in the blood.hsp90 inhibitors have been shown to kill epstein-barr virus (ebv)-infected cells by reducing the level of ebv ebna-1 and/or lmp1. we treated virus-infected cells with ganetespib, an hsp90 inhibitor currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials for cancer and found that the drug killed ebv-positive b and t cells and reduced the level of both ebv ebna-1 and lmp1. treatment of cells with ganetespib also reduced the level of pakt. ganetespib delayed the onset of ebv-positive lymphomas and pr ...201727686857
tax1bp1 downregulation by ebv-mir-bart15-3p enhances chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells to 5-fu.micrornas (mirnas) are a class of noncoding rna molecules approximately 19 to 25 nucleotides in length that downregulate the expression of target genes at the post-transcriptional level by binding to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-utr). epstein-barr virus (ebv) generates at least 44 mirnas, but the functions of most of these mirnas have not yet been identified. previously, we reported bruce as a target of mir-bart15-3p, a mirna produced by ebv, but our data suggested that there might be other ap ...201727757686
epstein-barr virus associated lymphomas in people with hiv.the present review summarizes the association of the different histotypes of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated lymphomas with known genetic lesions and/or oncogenic viruses. a more comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay existing between genetic abnormalities of tumor cells and the viral contribution to the development of ebv-associated lymphomas is pivotal for the development of more effective treatments.201727755151
distinguishing between hepatosplenic t-cell lymphoma and γδ t-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia: a clinicopathologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular analysis.hepatosplenic t-cell lymphoma (hstcl) is a rare, aggressive t-cell lymphoma that can be challenging to diagnose. in particular, distinguishing hstcl from t-cell large granular lymphocytic (t-lgl) leukemia of γδ t-cell receptor (tcr) type is difficult without examination of a splenectomy specimen. in this study, we systematically assessed a series of hstcl cases for findings reported in the literature as supporting or not supporting the diagnosis of hstcl. we also compared hstcl with a group of c ...201727755009
pd-1-pd-l1 immune-checkpoint blockade in b-cell lymphomas.cancer cells can escape t-cell-mediated cellular cytotoxicity by exploiting the inhibitory programmed cell-death protein 1 (pd-1)/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (pd-l1) immune checkpoint. indeed, therapeutic antibodies that block the pd-1-pd-l1 axis induce durable clinical responses against a growing list of solid tumours. b-cell lymphomas also leverage this checkpoint to escape immune recognition, although the outcomes of pd-1-pd-l1 blockade, and the correlations between pd-l1 expression and ...201727805626

transient reduction in iga(+) and igg(+) memory b cell numbers in young ebv-seropositive children: the generation r study.the ebv is known to persist in memory b cells, but it remains unclear how this affects cell numbers and humoral immunity. we here studied ebv persistence in memory b cell subsets and consequences on b cell memory in young children. ebv genome loads were quantified in 6 memory b cell subsets in ebv(+) adults. the effects of ebv infection on memory b cell numbers and vaccination responses were studied longitudinally in children within the generation r population cohort between 14 mo and 6 yr of ag ...201727821468
high-throughput protein and mrna expression-based classification of gastric cancers can identify clinically distinct subtypes, concordant with recent molecular classifications.gastric cancers have recently been classified into several types on the basis of molecular characterization, and the new taxonomy has shown to have clinical relevance. however, the technology required for thorough molecular classification is complicated and expensive, currently preventing widespread use. we aimed to reproduce the results of molecular classification using only simple techniques, that is, immunohistochemical analysis and in situ hybridization. we classified a cohort of 349 success ...201727819872
tacrolimus plus sirolimus with or without atg as gvhd prophylaxis in hla-mismatched unrelated donor allogeneic stem cell transplantation.hla-matched related or unrelated donors are not universally available. consequently, patients can be offered hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) from alternative donors, including mismatched unrelated donors (mmurd), known to cause a higher incidence of acute gvhd (agvhd) and chronic gvhd. in vivo t-cell-depletion strategies, such as antithymocyte globulin (atg) therapy, significantly decrease the risk of gvhd. we performed a multicenter, retrospective study comparing tacrolimus (tac) ...201727819684
epstein-barr virus infection and related hematological diseases.once the epstein-barr virus (ebv) has infected a person, it then latently infects b cells. this latent infection lasts a lifetime. however, ebv can infect t or nk cells (t/nk cells) in rare cases. therefore, ebv causes various hematological diseases. among these diseases, caebv is regarded as the most problematic because, although it is not particularly uncommon, the diagnostic tests for this disease are not covered by health insurance, a serious illness in the "non-active" periods is lacking, a ...201727795539
the long and complicated relationship between epstein-barr virus and epithelial cells.the roles of epithelial cells in infection and persistence of the epstein-barr virus (ebv) have long been difficult to resolve. however, recent developments have reinforced the conclusion that these cells are a major site of virus replication and raised the possibility that, like papillomaviruses, ebv has evolved to take advantage of epithelial differentiation to ensure survival, persistence, and spread.201727795426
high epstein-barr virus load and genomic diversity are associated with generation of gp350-specific neutralizing antibodies following acute infectious mononucleosis.the epstein-barr virus (ebv) gp350 glycoprotein interacts with the cellular receptor to mediate viral entry and is thought to be the major target for neutralizing antibodies. to better understand the role of ebv-specific antibodies in the control of viral replication and the evolution of sequence diversity, we measured ebv gp350-specific antibody responses and sequenced the gp350 gene in samples obtained from individuals experiencing primary ebv infection (acute infectious mononucleosis [aim]) a ...201727733645
epstein-barr virus latent membrane protein 2a (lmp2a) enhances il-10 production through the activation of bruton's tyrosine kinase and stat3.previous data demonstrate that epstein-barr virus latent membrane protein 2a (lmp2a) enhances il-10 to promote the survival of lmp2a-expressing b cell lymphomas. since stat3 is an important regulator of il-10 production, we hypothesized that lmp2a activates a signal transduction cascade that increases stat3 phosphorylation to enhance il-10. using lmp2a-negative and -positive b cell lines, the data indicate that lmp2a requires the early signaling molecules of the syk/ras/pi3k pathway to increase ...201727792904
association of epstein-barr virus reactivation with the recovery of cd4/cd8 double-negative t lymphocytes after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.ebv infection is one of the life-threatening clinical complications in patients who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplohsct). although immune recovery is recognized to be crucial for decreasing subsequent morbidity of infections, the link between t-cell recovery and ebv infection after haplohsct remains elusive. we recently compared the influences of different doses of antithymocyte globulin conditioning on the t-cell reconstitution post haplohsct and suggeste ...201727797369
regulation of the viral life cycle by murine gammaherpesvirus 68 micrornas.γ-herpesviruses (γhv) such as epstein-barr virus and kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus are important human pathogens involved in lymphoproliferation and tumorigenesis. murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (mhv-68, γhv-68) is an effective model for the study of γhv pathogenesis and host-virus interaction because it is closely related to human γhv. similarly to human γhv, mhv-68 encodes 15 micrornas (mirnas). although their functions remain unknown, they are thought to regulate the viral life cycle or ...201727837274
achievement of disease control with donor-derived eb virus-specific cytotoxic t cells after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for aggressive nk-cell leukemia.aggressive nk-cell leukemia (ankl) is characterized by systemic infiltration of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated natural killer cells and poor prognosis. we report a case of ankl in which ebv-specific cytotoxic t lymphocytes (ctls) were induced. a 41-year-old male suffered from fever, pancytopenia, and hepatosplenomegaly. the number of abnormal large granular lymphocytes in the bone marrow was increased and the cells were positive for cd56 and ebv-encoded small nuclear rnas. the patient was d ...201727830541
