Epstein-Barr virus immortalization and latency.
Epstein-Barr virus infects human B lymphocytes. The interaction between the virus and these cells has been the subject of investigation for over three decades. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies, reviewed here, are revealing the mechanisms by which EBV induces and controls proliferation through the expression of six viral nuclear proteins and two plasma membrane proteins. This genetic program ...
متن کاملLMP1-Induced Sumoylation Influences the Maintenance of Epstein-Barr Virus Latency through KAP1.
UNLABELLED As a herpesvirus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes a latent infection that can periodically undergo reactivation, resulting in lytic replication and the production of new infectious virus. Latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1), the principal viral oncoprotein, is a latency-associated protein implicated in regulating viral reactivation and the maintenance of latency. We recently found ...
متن کاملMechanism of action of glycyrrhizic acid in inhibition of Epstein-Barr virus replication in vitro.
We report here that glycyrrhizic acid (GL), a component of licorice root (Glycyrrhiza radix), is active against EBV replication in superinfected Raji cells in a dose-dependent fashion. The IC(50) values for viral inhibition and cell growth were 0.04 and 4.8mM, respectively. The selectivity index (ratio of IC(50) for cell growth to IC(50) for viral DNA synthesis) was 120. Time of addition experi...
متن کاملAttachment anxiety is related to Epstein-Barr virus latency.
Attachment theory provides a framework for understanding individual differences in chronic interpersonal stress. Attachment anxiety, a type of relationship insecurity characterized by worry about rejection and abandonment, is a chronic interpersonal stressor. Stress impacts cellular immunity, including herpesvirus reactivation. We investigated whether attachment anxiety was related to the expre...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus with heterogeneous DNA disrupts latency.
By cloning the HR-1 Burkitt lymphoma line, we previously uncovered two distinct biological variants of nontransforming Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The most commonly cloned variant has a low rate of spontaneous viral synthesis and is unable to induce early antigen in Raji cells (EAI-). A rare variant spontaneously releases virus which is capable of inducing early antigen in Raji cells (EAI+). Sinc...
