چکیده

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic human herpesvirus. KSHV is associated with three cancers in the human population: KS, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). KS is the leading cause of cancer in HIV-infected individuals. In this review, we discuss the most recent discoveries behind the mechanisms of KSHV latency maintenance and lytic replication. We also review current therapies for KSHV-associated cancers.

REPORTS Expression of Human Herpesvirus 8-Encoded Cyclin D in Kaposi’s Sarcoma Spindle Cells

Background: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences have been detected in Kaposi’s sarcoma, in primary effusion lymphoma (an unusual highgrade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma seen primarily in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]), and in Castleman’s disease (a rare lymphoproliferative disorder); however, proof that HHV-8 is involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases remains to ...

Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus microRNAs

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human pathogenic γ-herpesvirus strongly associated with the development of Kaposi's Sarcoma and B cell proliferative disorders, including primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). The identification and functional investigation of non-coding RNAs expressed by KSHV is a topic with rapidly emerging importance. KSHV miRNAs derived from 12 stem-loops locat...
