Regulation of herpesvirus reactivation by host microRNAs.
The interplay between latent and lytic modes of infection is central to successful infection of all herpesviruses, yet knowledge of the determinants that govern reactivation of these viruses from latent to lytic infection is limited. Recently, several studies have identified roles for specific cellular microRNAs in inhibiting reactivation of various herpesviruses, thereby promoting latent infec...
متن کاملReactivation of human herpesvirus 6 infection in an immunocompetent host with chronic encephalopathy.
To the Editor—In a recent article, Razonable et al. [1] reported a selective reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) variant A in critically ill immunocompetent patients. This reactivation, which was defined on the basis of the detection of HHV-6 DNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes, was observed in patients who had been admitted to an intensive care unit for medical or surgical indications ...
متن کاملLatency, Integration, and Reactivation of Human Herpesvirus-6
Human herpesvirus-6A (HHV-6A) and human herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B) are two closely related viruses that infect T-cells. Both HHV-6A and HHV-6B possess telomere-like repeats at the terminal regions of their genomes that facilitate latency by integration into the host telomeres, rather than by episome formation. In about 1% of the human population, human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) integration into germl...
متن کاملKaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8) infection of human fibroblast cells occurs through endocytosis.
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA and transcripts have been detected in the B cells, macrophages, keratinocytes, and endothelial and epithelial cells of KS patients. In vitro, HHV-8 infects human B, endothelial, epithelial, and fibroblast cells, as well as animal cells, and the infection is characterized by (i) absence of lytic replication by the in...
متن کاملRegulation of Alpha-herpesvirus Reactivation from Latency by Stress
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) establishes a lifelong latent infection in sensory neurons following acute infection. Increased corticosteroid levels, due to stress, increases the incidence of reactivation from latency. Within minutes, corticosteroids activate the glucocorticoid receptor and transcription of promoters containing a glucocorticoid receptor element. The synthetic corticosteroid dexam...
