Repair of psoralen-treated DNA by genetic recombination in human cells infected with herpes simplex virus.

چکیده
Herpes simplex virus type 1 was treated with 4,5'-8-trimethylpsoralen (psoralen) plus near-ultraviolet light in order to produce lesions (monoadducts and DNA cross-links) in the viral DNA. Human fibroblasts were infected by damaged virus under conditions in which either a single virus particle or several particles entered a given cell, and the fraction of virus-producing cells was determined. This fraction was significantly greater for multiply infected cells than for singly infected cells, indicating that the psoralen lesions are repaired more efficiently in the present of homologous, damaged DNA (multiplicity reactivation). Evidence is presented that herpes simplex virus may code for functions which participate in its own repair, both during multiplicity reactivation and during repair which occurs in singly infected cells: (a) host cells deficient in repair of lesions induced by psoralen (xeroderma pigmentosum) or the DNA cross-linking agent mitomycin C (Fanconi's anemia) exhibited normal levels of multiplicity reactivation of psoralen-treated herpes virus; (b) while xeroderma pigmentosum cells have been previously shown to be deficient in repair of psoralen-treated adenovirus under conditions of single infection, herpes virus is repaired at near normal levels in these same cells. Recombination levels between genetically marked pairs of herpes viruses were found to increase after treatment of the parental viruses with psoralen, suggesting that psoralen damage stimulates genetic recombination. This stimulation provides convincing evidence for a repair pathway in which genetic recombination between damaged viral genomes can lead to the production of viable virus.

Effects of Sodium Valproate on the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: An in Vitro Study
Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...
متن کاملEffects of Morphine on Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1&2
Background and Aims: Several drugs are being used in treatment of HSV infection in human but still introducing an effective safe drug is desirable. Methods: We investigated the inhibitory effect of morphine on replication of HSV in vitro. Results: The results indicated that a concentration of up to 200 ug/ml morphine had a limited effect on Vero cell viability. At this concentration the growt...
متن کاملFrequency of Herpes simplex virus in patients with Stroke by PCR
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes a wide range of pathologies in the human central nervous system (CNS) such as stroke. It was proposed that there is an association between HSV infection and stroke with different results reported by the researchers using different methods. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of HSV among stroke patient and control groups. We detected HSV in 28 stroke ...

The interaction of Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) with human fetal foreskin fibroblast (HFFF) cell was studied using a recent isolate of HSV-1 which was propagated in Hep-2 cells. HFFF cells were challenged with HSV-1 with a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 virus/cell for 24 hours. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that HSV-1 challenged HFFF cells expressed increased levels of α2β1...
