Synthesis of herpes simplex virus proteins in interferon-treated human cells.

چکیده
Pretreatment of HeLa cells with human interferon (IFN) resulted in the inhibition of herpes simplex virus (HSV) replication. We examined the stages in the replication of HSV type 1 and type 2 that were affected by IFN. The rate of synthesis of the HSV immediate-early (alpha) proteins was inhibited in IFN-pretreated HeLa cells. The subsequent inductions of HSV early (beta) genes, determined by measuring the levels of cytoplasmic mRNA specific for the thymidine kinase, as well as the DNA polymerase enzyme activity, were also suppressed in the IFN-pretreated cells. These results indicate that IFN inhibits HSV replication primarily at a very early step, either prior to, or during the synthesis of alpha-proteins.

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 کاملEvaluation of Potential Antiviral Activity of the Hydroalcoholic Extract of Lemon Balm L. against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1
Background and Aims: Lemon Balm L (Lamiaceae) has been used in a variety of practical applications in medical sciences. Its antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) was investigated in cell culture. Lemon Balm hydroalcoholic extract was found to be non-toxic to Vero cells up to concentration 800 ug/ml and inhibited the growth and development of HSV-1 in dose-dependent mann...

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...
