Endogenous Retroviruses and the Human Genome: Implications for Human Disease
Introduction Lifecycle and Genome Organization Endogenization Process and Host-Virus Evolution Classification of HERVs HERV Manipulation of Host Function Host Defenses against HERVs Cancer Multiple Sclerosis Schizophrenia Azoospermia Conclusions Sources Abstract Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute approximately 8% of the human genome (16, 22, 39, 55). These ancient retroviruses rep...
متن کاملHIV Restriction Factors and Mechanisms of Evasion.
Retroviruses have long been a fertile model for discovering host-pathogen interactions and their associated biological principles and processes. These advances have not only informed fundamental concepts of viral replication and pathogenesis but have also provided novel insights into host cell biology. This is illustrated by the recent descriptions of host-encoded restriction factors that can s...
متن کاملRetroviral Replication
The retroviruses (the taxonomic family Retroviridae) comprise isolates of vertebrates, but elements with hallmarks of retroviruses are also found elsewhere, e.g. in insects. Retroviruses exemplify a variety of specialized interactions with their hosts, including induction of many kinds of diseases under laboratory conditions as well as in domestic and wild animals. In contrast to this variation...
متن کاملEmerging infections: an evolutionary perspective.
Our relationship to infectious pathogens is part of an evolutionary drama (1). Here we are; here are the bugs. They are looking for food; we are their meat. How do we compete? They reproduce so quickly, and there are so many of them. They tolerate vast fluctuations of population size as part of their natural history; a fluctuation of 1% in our population size is a major catastrophe. Microbes ha...
متن کاملRegulatory cells and infectious agents: detentes cordiale and contraire.
This brief review describes the types of interactions that occur between CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) and microbial pathogens. These interactions range from one of mutual benefit (détente cordiale) such as occurs in Leishmania major infection of resistant mouse strains, to instances where the Treg response appears to mainly favor the pathogen and be detrimental to the host (détente c...
