Kaposi sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus microRNA sequence analysis and KS risk in a European AIDS-KS case control study.
BACKGROUND We recently identified polymorphisms in Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-encoded microRNA (miRNA) sequences from clinical subjects. Here, we examine whether any of these may contribute to KS risk in a European AIDS-KS case-control study. METHODS KSHV load in peripheral blood was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Samples that had detectable ...
متن کاملRelationship of Kaposi sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus viremia and KS disease in Zimbabwe.
The relationship between Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) viremia and KS disease was investigated in 500 subjects who received treatment in Harare, Zimbabwe. Subjects were grouped by results of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 serological tests, KS diagnosis, and KS clinical stage. The plasma KSHV DNA concentration was associated with concomitant KS and HIV-1 infection (AID...
متن کاملKaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence from studies in humans. This conclusion is based on evidence from epidemiological and molecular studies, which show that KSHV causes Kaposi sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and a plasmablastic variant of multicentric Castleman disease, and on supporting mechanistic data. KSHV causes ca...
متن کاملKaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus
First detected by Chang et al. (1994) in Kaposi sarcomas associated with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) (see IARC, 1996) by representational difference analysis, this virus was termed Kaposi-sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, KSHV. KSHV is also associated with primary effusion lymphoma and some cases of multicentric Castleman disease (see Section 2). In keeping with the systematic ...
