Human Muscle Satellite Cells as Targets of Chikungunya Virus Infection
BACKGROUND Chikungunya (CHIK) virus is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes in humans an acute infection characterised by fever, polyarthralgia, head-ache, and myalgia. Since 2005, the emergence of CHIK virus was associated with an unprecedented magnitude outbreak of CHIK disease in the Indian Ocean. Clinically, this outbreak was characterized by invalidating poly-arthralgia, with myal...
متن کاملHost Cell Factors as Antiviral Targets in Arenavirus Infection
Among the members of the Arenaviridae family, Lassa virus and Junin virus generate periodic annual outbreaks of severe human hemorrhagic fever (HF) in endemic areas of West Africa and Argentina, respectively. Given the human health threat that arenaviruses represent and the lack of a specific and safe chemotherapy, the search for effective antiviral compounds is a continuous demanding effort. S...
متن کاملChemokine Receptors as Therapeutic Targets in HIV Infection
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) evolved into a pandemic in less than a decade since the first reports of a new set of symptoms that included severe opportunistic infections and unusual neoplasms, particularly Kaposi's sarcoma, in homosexual men [1]. Nearly 30 years since the discovery of the causative agent [2, 3], human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cannot still be eradicated, nor is ...
متن کاملAstrocytes as targets for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus infection.
Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE) produces an acute infection in humans and induces a well-characterized cytopathic effect in neurons of the central nervous system (CNS). However, little is known about the role of glial cells in response to VEE infection of the CNS. Our results demonstrate that VEE is capable of a productive infection in primary astrocyte cultures and that this infecti...
متن کاملCellular adhesion molecules as targets for bacterial infection.
A large number of bacterial pathogens targets cell adhesion molecules to establish an intimate contact with host cells and tissues. Members of the integrin, cadherin and immunoglobulin-related cell adhesion molecule (IgCAM) families are frequently recognized by specific bacterial surface proteins. Binding can trigger bacterial internalization following cytoskeletal rearrangements that are initi...
