AU - Glaser, Ronald. PY - 2007/6. Y1 - 2007/6. N2 - The aged immune system is characterized by clonal expansions of CD8+ T cells of which a substantial portion are directed against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is unknown if these expansions represent increased viral reactivation or simply reflect an accumulation over time. We investigated herpesvirus reactivation in young and old subjects co-infected with CMV and EBV. Using molecular and serological techniques, we found significant increases in both the frequency and magnitude of EBV and CMV reactivation in elderly subjects. CMV DNA was frequently detected in the urine of elderly subjects; EBV load in peripheral blood was also significantly increased. Notably, EBV DNA in plasma was detected in a majority of the elderly subjects which was ...

Currently available medicines in the BCR-ABL TKIs class of drugs include Gleevec and Iclusig, as well as Tasigna, Bosulif, and Sprycel.. These BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used for the treatment of specific types of blood cancers, including Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and less commonly, other types of cancers.. In May 2016 Health Canada issued a safety warning, BCR-ABL Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors [GLEEVEC (imatinib mesylate), TASIGNA (nilotinib), BOSULIF (bosutinib), SPRYCEL (dasatinib), ICLUSIG (ponatinib hydrochloride)] - Risk of Hepatitis B Reactivation, which did not receive much public attention in the US.. From that May 2016 Health Canada document, we get the following detailed safety information about these drugs:. ...

HBV is endemic in Taiwan. Mass vaccination started in 1984 [13, 14]. However, the prevalence of HBV is still high in the general population. This is the first large cohort study to compare the incidence of HBV reactivation in different subtypes of hematological malignancy. In this retrospective cohort, 286 (14.6%) of 1962 patients were HBV carriers. HBV reactivation is critical for the clinical care of patients with hematological malignancy receiving chemotherapy. The incidence of HBV reactivation was 10.4 per 100 person-years in this study. This epidemiological result is similar to those of previous studies of lymphoma (10.4 per 100 person-years) [5] and AML (9.5 per 100 person-years) [23].. HBV reactivation in cancer patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy has been noted for 3 decades [3, 24, 25], especially in patients with lymphoma [4, 5], patients treated with corticosteroids [6, 7] and rituximab [8, 9], as well as in patients undergoing stem cell and bone marrow transplantation [10, 11]. ...

This paper describes the clinical case of an anti-HBc-positive and anti-HBs-positive patient undergoing prolonged immunosuppression who developed HBV reactivation 3 months after the suspension of prolonged (4 years) LMV prophylaxis. At HBV reactivation, the patient showed an atypical serological profile characterized by HBsAg negativity and anti-HBs positivity (with a high antibody titer of 505 mIU/ml). These results corroborate recently published studies showing that a substantial proportion (10% to 80%) of patients who tested positive for anti-HBc and anti-HBs remained HBsAg-negative despite the reuptake of viral replication [12-14]. Overall, our results suggest that this immunological profile is critical in the management of patients who are at risk of HBV reactivation and strongly support the use of serum HBV-DNA (rather than HBsAg) for the diagnosis of HBV reactivation.. HBsAg negativity may be related to the high degree of genetic variability in HBsAg observed in patients who develop ...

Throughout the process of virus-host coevolution, herpesviruses have developed an array of immunomodulatory mechanisms to avoid detection and destruction by the hosts immune system. Although loss of immune control can lead to herpesvirus reactivation from latency and result in serious disease (2, 3, 4), delayed primary infection with herpesviruses in affluent societies (1, 2) coincides with higher incidence of allergic disorders (32), which in contrast indicates a beneficial role for these viruses.. In connection with this, our group has previously reported an inverse association between EBV seropositivity and IgE sensitization in 2-year-old children (25). Recent observations from our laboratory did not provide support for a Th1-biased cytokine profile in EBV SP children (26), which could have explained the protection against the allergic phenotype (32, 33). However, latent herpesvirus infections in mice result in potentiated innate activity and increased systemic IFN-γ levels (29). To ...

Ok I guess the first thoughts are that people are trying to get something for nothing. I would like to suggest a feature: Move. All I would like to do is maintain the functionality of the VM. Just one licensed copy. I re-image my Host hard drive every couple months, install updates, and create an image of that. This way if something goes horribly wrong Malware or other, I can have a working system in a few minutes. Each time I did this with VirtualBox, the Guest activation is lost. If I could Move the Licensed and activated VM back to the newly re-imaged Host, Id stand on my head and eat bug. The move feature would prevent the VM Guest from being used anywhere else. I used RouterSim software to study for my CCNA. I could move the simulator around with me. It was a great time saver ...

Latency-associated transcript (LAT) significantly enhances the spontaneous reactivation phenotype of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The mechanism by which LAT accomplishes this has been elusive. To determine if LATs antiapoptosis activity is involved, the authors used a rabbit eye model to analyze the spontaneous reactivation phenotype of an HSV-1 mutant in which LAT was replaced by an unrelated antiapoptosis gene. This virus, dLAT-cpIAP, contains the open reading frame of the baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis protein gene (cpIAP) in place of LAT, under control of the LAT promoter. The authors report here that in a rabbit ocular model of infection, dLAT-cpIAP had a spontaneous reactivation phenotype similar to wild-type virus and significantly higher than LAT(-) viruses. This was consistent with their previous findings using the mouse trigeminal ganglia explant-induced reactivation model. Whether LAT (and in the case of dLAT-cpIAP, cpIAP) enhances the spontaneous reactivation phenotype ...

Clinical trial for Chronic | Lymphocytic Leukemia | Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia , The Incidence of Hepatitis B Reactivations in Patients Affected by Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia With Ibrutinib

Chronic viral infections are difficult to treat, and new approaches are needed, particularly those aimed at reducing reactivation by enhancing immune responses. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes latency and reactivates frequently, and breakthrough reactivation can occur despite suppressive antiviral therapy. Virus-specific T cells are important to control HSV, and proliferation of activated T cells requires increased metabolism of glutamine. Here, we found that supplementation with oral glutamine reduced virus reactivation in latently HSV-1-infected mice and HSV-2-infected guinea pigs. Transcriptome analysis of trigeminal ganglia from latently HSV-1-infected, glutamine-treated WT mice showed upregulation of several IFN-γ-inducible genes. In contrast to WT mice, supplemental glutamine was ineffective in reducing the rate of HSV-1 reactivation in latently HSV-1-infected IFN-γ-KO mice. Mice treated with glutamine also had higher numbers of HSV-specific IFN-γ-producing CD8 T cells in ...

Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (γHV68) infection of mice results in the establishment of a chronic infection, which is largely maintained through latent infection of B lymphocytes. Acute virus replication is almost entirely cleared by 2 weeks postinfection. Spontaneous reactivation of γHV68 from latently infected splenocytes upon ex vivo culture can readily be detected at the early stages of infection (e.g., day 16). However, by 6 weeks postinfection, very little spontaneous reactivation is detected upon explant into tissue culture. Here we report that stimulation of latently infected splenic B cells harvested at late times postinfection with cross-linking surface immunoglobulin (Ig), in conjunction with anti-CD40 antibody treatment, triggers virus reactivation. As expected, this treatment resulted in B-cell activation, as assessed by upregulation of CD69 on B cells, and ultimately B-cell proliferation. Since anti-Ig/anti-CD40 stimulation resulted in splenic B-cell proliferation, we assessed ...

Morbidity and mortality of ICU patients is increased by the development of a immunosuppression systemic (IS). This IS develops in the early hours of hospitalization and is responsible for severe infections, including viral reactivations (Cytomegalovirus or Herpes Simplex Virus). Viral reactivation was associated with increased morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. In clinical practice, they are searched at the onset of organ failure or unexplained fever. The investigators wish to conduct this research in the stroke patients to assess the predictive power of these viral reactivations on the duration of mechanical ventilation ...

Discussion. HBV reactivation is a potentially fatal condition with mortality rates reported as high as 25%.4 In our study the rate of HBV reactivation in patients with previously resolved infection was approximately 2%, resulting in death in one patient. This highlights the importance of assessing potential risk factors for reactivation since prophylaxis can prevent its occurrence.. Only 4 retrospective studies addressed the risk of reactivation in HBsAg-negative and anti-HBc-positive KTR.7-9,13 The number of patients was small and reactivation rates varied from 0 to 6.5%. Risk factors for reactivation included older age, presence of rejection, use of rituximab and loss/absence of anti-HBs, but findings were not consistent among the 4 studies possibly due to the small number of cases in each study. We found that 13.9% of the patients with resolved HBV infection and positive anti-HBs titers lost immunity. In our series, older age and presence of BPAR were independent risk factors for loss of ...

The FDAs approval of rituximab-abbs is based on a review of evidence that included extensive structural and functional characterization, animal data, human pharmacokinetic data, clinical immunogenicity data, and other clinical data that demonstrate rituximab-abbs is biosimilar to rituximab. Rituximab-abbs has been approved as a biosimilar, not as an interchangeable product.. The most common side effects of rituximab-abbs are infusion reactions, fever, lymphopenia, chills, infection, and asthenia. Health-care providers are advised to monitor patients for tumor-lysis syndrome, adverse cardiac reactions, renal toxicity, and bowel obstruction and perforation. Patients should not receive vaccinations while in treatment.. Like rituximab, the labeling for rituximab-abbs contains a boxed warning to alert health-care professionals and patients about increased risks of the following: fatal infusion reactions; severe skin and mouth reactions, some with fatal outcomes; hepatitis B virus reactivation, which ...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) latency is typically harmless but reactivation can be largely detrimental to immune compromised hosts. We modeled latency and reactivation using a traceable HCMV laboratory strain expressing the Gaussia luciferase reporter gene (HCMV/GLuc) in order to interrogate the viral modulatory effects on the human adaptive immunity. Humanized mice with long-term (more than 17 weeks) steady human T and B cell immune reconstitutions were infected with HCMV/GLuc and 7 weeks later were further treated with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to induce viral reactivations. Whole body bio-luminescence imaging analyses clearly differentiated mice with latent viral infections vs. reactivations. Foci of vigorous viral reactivations were detectable in liver, lymph nodes and salivary glands. The number of viral genome copies in various tissues increased upon reactivations and were detectable in sorted human CD14+, CD169+, and CD34+ cells. Compared with non-infected controls, ...

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has issued a safety update regarding the potential for hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients taking BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). This safety update follows a review of clinical trial and post-marketing data from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Reports of HBV reactivation have included cases of acute hepatic failure and fulminant hepatitis leading to liver transplantation or death.. Affected TKIs available in Australia include imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, and ponatinib. These agents are indicated for specific blood cancers including chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).. Reactivation of HBV is a well-known complication of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. While this is now considered a class effect of BCR-ABL TKIs, the mechanism of virus reactivation and frequency of occurrence is not known. Patients who are chronically infected are at a higher risk of ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) after immunosuppressive therapy for aplastic anemia (AA) is extremely rare in a nontransplant setting and has not been well described. This report describes a severe AA patient in whom fatal EBV-LPD developed after being treated with rabbit antithymocyte globulins (ATG) and cyclosporine A (CsA). An 81-year-old man was diagnosed as having severe AA. He was started on CsA followed by administration of ATG for five consecutive days. One month after the start of ATG, persistent fever which was not responsive to antibiotics or antifungal agents developed and atypical lymphocytes emerged in peripheral blood. Repeated blood cultures were negative. An extremely high level of EBV virus in his peripheral blood plasma was detected by means of a quantitative real-time PCR assay. Even after the cessation of CsA, the fever persisted and the peripheral atypical lymphocytes proliferated rapidly. The patient suffered from respiratory failure, liver

Reactivation of hepatitis B in patients who were previously infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and had received concomitant TNF-blocking agents, including very rare cases (, 0.01%) with Etanercept , has been reported. In some instances, hepatitis B reactivation occurring in conjunction with TNF-blocker therapy has been fatal. The majority of these reports have occurred in patients concomitantly receiving other medications that suppress the immune system, which may also contribute to hepatitis B reactivation. Patients at risk for HBV infection should be evaluated for prior evidence of HBV infection before initiating TNF-blocker therapy. Prescribers should exercise caution in prescribing TNF blockers in patients previously infected with HBV. Adequate data are not available on the safety or efficacy of treating patients who are carriers of HBV with anti-viral therapy in conjunction with TNF-blocker therapy to prevent HBV reactivation. Patients previously infected with HBV and require ...

Immunosuppressive chemotherapy can lead to Hepatitis B virus reactivation resulting in Hepatitis. Previous history of HBV infection is a major risk factor. Here we report a 66 yr old male, with Follicular lymphoma stage 4. He was planned for B-R (Bendamustine-Rituximab) regimen. As the creatinine clearance was 31 ml/min, it was decided to initiate chemo with R-CVP(Rituximab-Cyclophosphomide, Vincristine, Prednisolone) regimen and then switch to B-R regimen, once the creatinine clearance improves. Hepatitis B surface antigen was tested and found to be negative. Post cycle 1 his creatinine clearance improved to 42 ml/min and then he was started with B-R regimen. After 16 days of post cycle 3, he developed cough, wheeze, high eosinophils and fever. It was found to be due to rituximab induced interstitial lung disease, hence the drug was stopped and he was started on steroids, levofloxacin, montelukast. He was continued with CVP regimen. After 5 cycles, his transaminases started going up and a repeat test

The European Medicines Agency is to review the safety of direct-acting antivirals used to treat patients with chronic hepatitis C infection.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health problem affecting an estimated 350 million people worldwide with more than 786000 individuals dying annually due to complications of CHB, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. CHB is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounting for at least 50% of newly diagnosed cases. Furthermore, HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world with a dismal 5 year survival and the fastest growing rate of cancer death in North America.. Liver transplantation (LT) is the most effective treatment in patients with CHB-related liver failure, cirrhosis and HCC. However, HBV reactivation following LT emerges as a major clinical challenge. Prophylaxis with high-dose hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and anti-viral drugs have achieved remarkable progress in LT by suppressing viral replication and improving long-term survival.. Before its introduction, reinfection with HBV after ...

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis and management of BK virus (BKV) reactivation following renal transplantation continues to be a significant clinical problem. Following reactivation of latent virus, impaired cellular immunity enables sustained viral replication to occur in urothelial cells, which potentially leads to the development of BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN). Current guidelines recommend regular surveillance for BKV reactivation through the detection of infected urothelial cells in urine (decoy cells) or viral nucleic acid in urine or blood. However, these methods have variable sensitivity and cannot routinely distinguish between different viral subtypes. We therefore asked whether mass spectrometry might be able to overcome these limitations and provide an additional non-invasive technique for the surveillance of BKV and identification of recipients at increased risk of BKVAN. RESULTS: Here we describe a mass spectrometry (MS)-based method for the detection of BKV derived proteins directly

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1) is a common human pathogen which attains a life‐long latent state in sensory neurones after initial infection at the periphery. The establishment of latency and the subsequent episodes of reactivation are fundamental to the clinical importance of herpes simplex viruses and undoubtedly contribute substantially to their evolutionary success, as latency allows the virus to evade the immune system. The pattern of viral gene expression during lytic infection, when at least 76 genes are expressed from the 152 kb genome (McGeoch et al., 1993 and references therein), contrasts with that of latency when only one active viral transcription unit of unknown function has been detected (for a review see Fraser et al., 1992). HSV‐1 genes can be divided into Immediate‐Early (IE), Early and Late temporal classes depending on their time‐course of synthesis and requirements for prior viral gene expression and DNA replication (reviewed by Roizman and Sears, 1990). ...

BACKGROUND:. Despite progress in understanding the pathophysiology of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections, its manifestations in the immune compromised host are frequently associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this setting, HCMV disease can develop e.g. following immune suppression as a result of reactivation of latent HCMV acquired earlier in life. The mechanisms leading to establishment of latent infections and their subsequent reactivation are not clear. It is also unknown whether HCMV exists in a latent form with limited viral gene expression or as a persistent infection with normal virus transcription.. DESIGN NARRATIVE:. The specific aims of the study were to: 1) examine the percentage of HCMV positive donors whose bone marrow progenitors contained HCMV DNA using nested PCR and determine if virus could be rescued from those cells. 2) Analyze the HCMV life cycle in hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells. 3) identify and analyze HCMV gene expression in in vivo infected ...

Some mammalian carcinogens and their metabolites affect the viability of Salmonella typhimurium strains, as indicated by a decrease in colony formation, and also induce prophage. We determined the minimum concentration required for prophage induction and the maximum prophage induction frequency for each carcinogen. The latter value was determined by the ratio of the number of induced phage particles relative to that of spontaneously induced phage particles in the controls. This value is constant for each carcinogen, regardless of its concentration. Since damage of the bacterial genome results in prophage induction, the reactivity of each compound with the genome may be indicated by the minimum concentration required for prophage induction and the maximum frequency of prophage induction. Carcinogens unable to affect bacterial viability are also unable to induce prophage. Failure to induce prophage indicates a requirement for metabolic activation by mammalian enzymes. Interaction of these ...

We are aware that relapses in MS are frequently triggered by infections; about a third of relapses are known to be preceded by infections. These are typically viral infections.We have no idea how many relapses are triggered by reactivation of dormant viral infections, such as VZV, CMV and EBV. The latter is one of the hypotheses underpinning the viral hypothesis of autoimmunity, i.e. that viral infections drive autoimmunity by stimulating or boosting the immune system that allows the autoimmune cells to be easily triggered to damage self. How do we test this hypothesis? It may have been tested already, but we dont know it. Does interferon beta and interferon alpha, which are antiviral agents work in MS by suppressing viral infections? Some of the original data on exogenous viral infections (colds, flu, etc.) suggests that interferon-beta does not reduce these types of infections, but we dont have data on the impact of these agents on reactivation of persistent viral infections, in particular ...

Fig. 4. EBV lytic cycle genes activated by Rta alone or together with Z(S186A). Cells were either untreated (lane 1), chemically induced with TPA and sodium butyrate (lane 2), or transfected with 10 μg of plasmid DNA (lanes 3 to 10). In lanes 4, 6, and 8, cells received 5 μg of activator and 5 μg of empty vector. In lanes 3, 5, and 7, cells received only vector pRTS (lane 3), pBXG1 (lane 5), or pCMV (lane 7). In lanes 9 and 10, Rta was transfected with ZEBRA and the mutant Z(S186A), respectively. Total RNA prepared 30 h following transfection was analyzed by Northern blotting using probes for the indicated genes (see Materials and Methods). The blot was stripped between probes. Classification of the genes according to primary activator(s) is indicated to the right (see Discussion). The extra band above the expected size of the BRLF1 mRNA in lane 10 is most likely the result of an Rta-activated transcript from the Z(S186A) expression vector. ...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) comprise the majority of stromal cells in breast cancers, yet their precise origins and relative functional contributions to malignant progression remain uncertain. Local invasion leads to the proximity of cancer cells and adipocytes, which respond by phenotypical changes to generate fibroblast-like cells termed as adipocyte-derived fibroblasts (ADF) here. These cells exhibit enhanced secretion of fibronectin and collagen I, increased migratory/invasive abilities, and increased expression of the CAF marker FSP-1 but not α-SMA. Generation of the ADF phenotype depends on reactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in response to Wnt3a secreted by tumor cells. Tumor cells cocultivated with ADFs in two-dimensional or spheroid culture display increased invasive capabilities. In clinical specimens of breast cancer, we confirmed the presence of this new stromal subpopulation. By defining a new stromal cell population, our results offer new opportunities for ...

Background: Efforts to disrupt the establishment and maintenance of the latent reservoir have focused on the shock-and-kill therapeutic approach to reverse HIV latency from CD4+ T cells with subsequent killing of the infected cells. The X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is up regulated in latently infected cell lines. In this study, we investigated whether this molecular signature existed in primary latently-infected resting central memory CD4+ T cells and whether this could be used to selectively target and kill latent HIV harboring cells.. Methods: CCL19-treated naïve CD4+ T cells isolated from HIV-uninfected donors were infected with HIV then expanded in the presence of IL2 for 12 d. Memory CD4+ T cells were then isolated and cultured in the presence of IL7 for a further 20 d then analyzed by flow cytometry. HIV integration was analyzed by Alu-LTR qPCR. Expression of XIAP was assessed using Western blotting. HIV p24 antigen was quantified by ELISA. Long-lived, resting memory ...

Tuberculosis (Tb) still is the most prevalent bacterial infectious disease in humans and continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in impoverished regions in the tropics. The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is carried by an estimated 2-3 billion people globally, but in most cases it lies dormant and the immune system is able to prevent it from spreading in the body. A relatively small proportion (5-10%) of infected people will develop active disease during their lifetime. However the immune system fails to achieve sterile eradication of the tubercle bacillus. The enormous reservoir of latent Tb patients constantly leads to new active Tb cases and transmission of the disease, thus perpetuating the epidemic. Reactivation can occur after years or decades of clinical latency, and the risk of reactivation increases with conditions that modulate the immune status of the host such as immunosuppressive therapy, malnutrition or comorbidities. The Research group Coinfection is ...

In article ,30DE9342E2D at prl.pulmonary.ubc.ca, DANDERSON at PRL.PULMONARY.UBC.CA writes: , ,An immunization attempt would be interesting but I have ,a mechanistic question. Do these patients with zoster have a ,depressed cellular response in the face of a sufficient humoral ,response. Is the mechanism of this selective immunosuppression ,known?? As far as I know, the situation in zoster is not well understood (as is the case with most viral pathogenesis questions, of course). The related virus, herpes simplex virus, has been studied in more detail (and I know more about it, note the cunning switch of fields). With HSV reactivation, the virus seems to reactivate in spite of a perfectly competent humoral immune response. There is often a *moderate* suppression of the cellular immune response, concurrent with the reactivation. The most probable explanation is that HSV takes advantage of this suppression to show overt symptoms, but it is almost equally possible that some of this immune suppression ...

In an active area of research known as HIV-1 cure research, the purposeful reactivation of latent/dormant HIV-1 in memory T cells, which induces death of the infected cell or alerts the immune system to the presence of the virus, is known as the

I write about whats new in virology from the molecular biology point of view, covering topics such as human papiloma virus, hepatitis C, herpes simplex, and other viruses, especially those occurring in the body in a latent state. Read more ...
