Human cytomegalovirus virions differentially incorporate viral and host cell RNA during the assembly process.
While analyzing human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene expression in infected cells by RNA-specific nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), positive results were observed for HCMV RNA encoded by several viral genes immediately after the addition of the virus. UV-inactivated virus also gave a positive NASBA result without establishing active infection, suggesting that RNA was associated wi...
متن کاملHuman cytomegalovirus-induced host cell enlargement is iron dependent.
A hallmark of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is the characteristic enlargement of the host cells (i.e., cytomegaly). Because iron (Fe) is required for cell growth and Fe chelators inhibit viral replication, we investigated the effects of HCMV infection on Fe homeostasis in MRC-5 fibroblasts. Using the metallosensitive fluorophore calcein and the Fe chelator salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl...

متن کاملMast Cell Tryptase Stimulates Collagen Synthesis
Mast cell activation is a characteristic feature of chronic inflammation, a condition that may lead to fibrosis as a result of increased collagen synthesis by fibroblasts. We have investigated the potential of tryptase, the major protease of human mast cells, to stimulate collagen synthesis in the human lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5. Tryptase was isolated from human lung tissue by ion-exchang...
متن کاملCyclophilin B stimulates RNA synthesis by the HCV RNA dependent RNA polymerase.
Cyclophilins are cellular peptidyl isomerases that have been implicated in regulating hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Cyclophilin B (CypB) is a target of cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressive drug recently shown to suppress HCV replication in cell culture. Watashi et al. recently demonstrated that CypB is important for efficient HCV replication, and proposed that it mediates the anti-H...
