Effective Treatment of Respiratory Alphaherpesvirus Infection Using RNA Interference
BACKGROUND Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), a member of the Alphaherpesvirinae, is spread via nasal secretions and causes respiratory disease, neurological disorders and abortions. The virus is a significant equine pathogen, but current EHV-1 vaccines are only partially protective and effective metaphylactic and therapeutic agents are not available. Small interfering RNAs (siRNA's), delivered...
متن کاملCell cycle: Cull and destroy
A newly discovered family of proteins homologous to yeast Cdc53, called cullins, may play a key role in the targeting of cell-cycle regulators, such as cyclins, for destruction by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.
متن کاملPlasticity and virus specificity of the airway epithelial cell immune response during respiratory virus infection.
Airway epithelial cells (AECs) provide the first line of defense in the respiratory tract and are the main target of respiratory viruses. Here, using oligonucleotide and protein arrays, we analyze the infection of primary polarized human AEC cultures with influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and we show that the immune response of AECs is quantitatively and qualitatively virus...
متن کاملFibroblast-epithelial cell interactions drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition differently in cells from normal and COPD patients
BACKGROUND Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which involves changes in cellular morphology of highly polarized epithelial cells and the gain of mesenchymal cell phenotype with migratory and invasive capacities, is implicated in smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the interactions of fibroblasts and epithelial cells and the participation of fibroblast...
