Stimulation of alpha 1 (I) procollagen gene expression in NIH-3T3 cells by the human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax gene.
The mechanisms that regulate the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix proteins in fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cells have remained elusive. Studies from several laboratories have indicated that Tax, a trans-regulatory protein from the human T cell leukemia virus type I not only augments viral gene expression but also triggers the expression of various cellular genes. Here, we ...
متن کاملThe Enigma of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type-1 (HTLV-1) Infection in Iran
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I) was the first human retrovirus associated with malignancy. The prevalence of HTLV-I infection varies significantly in different regions of the world. In this study, the prevalence of HTLV-I infection among ethnic Jews living in Shiraz, South of Iran, was investigated. 286 blood samples were obtained. HTLV-1 antibody assay on serum samples was d...

متن کاملseroprevalence of human t-cell leukemia virus type-1 (htlv-1) in high risk patients
background: human t-lymphotropic virus type i is the etiologic agent of two distinct human diseases, adult t-cell leukemia or lymphoma and a chronic, progressive demyelinating disorder. the aim of this work was to investigate the seroprevalence of htlv-1/2 among high risk patients (thalassemic and hemodialysis) in charmahal-va-baktiari province, center of iran. methods: using elisa, a total of ...
متن کاملProinflammatory cytokine gene induction by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and HTLV-2 Tax in primary human glial cells.
Infection with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can result in the development of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). HTLV-2 is highly related to HTLV-1 at the genetic level and shares a high degree of sequence homology, but infection with HTLV-2 is relatively nonpathogenic compared to...
