Physical characterization of the herpes simplex virus latency-associated transcript in neurons.
RNA transfer (Northern) blot analysis was used to perform the physical characterization of the transcript expressed in murine sensory nerve ganglia latently infected with herpes simplex virus type 1. Most of this latency-associated transcript (LAT) was isolated in the poly(A)- fraction from ganglia. A smaller RNA species was also detected at less than 10% the abundance of the major one. LAT was...
متن کاملHerpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Latency-Associated Transcript Reduces Human Neuroblastoma Cell Proliferation
Background and Aims: The latency-associated transcript (LAT) transcribed by latent Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 in neuron cells are able to influence their host cell pathways. While the most of previous studies were focused on anti-apoptotic effects of LAT, our investigation is making an effort to explore LAT potency on cell cycle pathway in neuroblastoma cell lines. Methods: The evaluation of L...
متن کاملThe latency-associated transcript gene enhances establishment of herpes simplex virus type 1 latency in rabbits.
The latency-associated transcript (LAT) gene the only herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) gene abundantly transcribed during neuronal latency, is essential for efficient in vivo reactivation. Whether LAT increases reactivation by a direct effect on the reactivation process or whether it does so by increasing the establishment of latency, thereby making more latently infected neurons available f...
متن کاملThe herpes simplex virus type 1 latency-associated transcript gene regulates the establishment of latency.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 establishes latent infections in sensory neurons. During latency only one locus, the latency-associated transcript (LAT), is abundantly transcribed. Several lines of evidence suggest that this locus is required for the efficient reactivation from latency in experimental models. However, it is not yet clear whether this is a direct effect on the reactivation process p...
متن کاملHerpes simplex latent infection: quantitation of latency-associated transcript-positive neurons and reactivable neurons.
Dorsal root ganglion neurons, which express herpes simplex virus (HSV) latency-associated transcript (LAT) during experimental latent infection, were investigated by in situ hybridization. The number of LAT-positive neurons was determined by examination of ganglion serial sections. In other latently infected mice, the number of ganglion neurons that reactivated HSV antigen after explant culture...
