Infection of cells by herpes simplex virus (HSV) can lead to either lytic, productive infection or nonlytic, latent infection. The factors influencing this infection pathway decision are largely unknown. Thymidine kinase-negative mutant viruses can establish latent infection in neurons of mouse trigeminal ganglia but do not replicate productively in these cells. We show that during the early stages of establishment of latency by these mutants, expression of viral lytic genes is drastically reduced or undetectable as assayed by in situ hybridization. Thus, establishment of latent infection by HSV can occur despite severely restricted levels of lytic gene expression. This suggests that the block to productive replication during establishment of latent infection by HSV occurs before or early during the expression of alpha genes. 相似文献

Intrauterine herpes simplex virus infection 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection usually is the consequence of intrapartum infection, with disease onset between 5 and 15 days of life. More recently, intrauterine HSV infection has been identified. Intrauterine infection is apparent within the first 24-48 hr of life and is associated with skin vesicles/scarring, chorioretinitis, and/or hydraencephaly. The recognition that babies with these findings can have disease caused by HSV should prompt enhanced physician awareness in the evaluation of newborns with suspected intrauterine infection. The frequency of intrauterine infection appears to be about 5% of all babies with neonatal HSV infection. 相似文献

Previous work has determined that there are nucleosomes on the herpes simplex virus (HSV) genome during a lytic infection but that they are not arranged in an equally spaced array like in cellular DNA. However, like in cellular DNA, the promoter regions of several viral genes have been shown to be associated with nucleosomes containing modified histone proteins that are generally found associated with actively transcribed genes. Furthermore, it has been found that the association of modified histones with the HSV genome can be detected at the earliest times postinfection (1 h postinfection) and increases up to 3 h postinfection. However from 3 h to 6 h postinfection (the late phase of the replication cycle), the association decreases. In this study we have examined histone association with promoter regions of all kinetic classes of genes. This was done over the time course of an infection in Sy5y cells using sucrose gradient sedimentation, bromodeoxyuridine labeling, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, Western blot analysis, trypsin and DNase digestion, and quantitative real-time PCR. Because no histones were detected inside HSV type 1 capsids, the viral genome probably starts to associate with histones after being transported from infecting virions into the host nucleus. Promoter regions of all gene classes (immediate early, early, and late) bind with histone proteins at the start of viral gene expression. However, after viral DNA replication initiates, histones appear not to associate with newly synthesized viral genomes. 相似文献

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections provoke an inflammatory cytokine response, but the innate pathogen-sensing mechanisms that transduce the signal for this response are poorly understood. Recent findings have revealed that Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 initiates the inflammatory process, and surprisingly that the response the TLR triggers might be overzealous in its attempt to counter the attack by the virus. Other recent findings suggest complexity in the array of TLRs that are triggered by HSV and the cell types they activate. Here we discuss the new revelations about these guardians against HSV infection and the consequences of the alarms raised in the host that they are assigned to protect. 相似文献

The characteristics of HSV type-1 infection following subcutaneous inoculation in the dorsum of one hind paw of Sprague-Dawley rats were studied to determine whether infection in rats might more closely parallel the infection in man than is seen in other animals. The serologic and virologic characteristics of acute and latent ganglion infection conformed to those of human infection. Immunohistochemical studies suggested that sensory ganglion infection arose via centripetal axonal migration of virus as is hypothesized in man. In rat, small type B neuronal cell bodies appeared central to the maintenance of latent infection and reactivation observed during cocultivation of lumbar ganglia. Acute and latent lumbar sensory ganglion infection in rats after subcutaneous hind paw injection of HSV-1 appears to be another suitable model of this infection in man. 相似文献

Using real-time fluorescence PCR, we quantitated the numbers of copies of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) genomes in 15 human trigeminal ganglia. Eight (53%) and 1 (7%) of 15 ganglia were PCR positive for HSV-1 or -2 glycoprotein G genes, with means of 2,902 +/- 1,082 (standard error of the mean) or 109 genomes/10(5) cells, respectively. Eleven of 14 (79%) to 13 of 15 (87%) of the ganglia were PCR positive for VZV gene 29, 31, or 62. Pooling of the results for the three VZV genes yielded a mean of 258 +/- 38 genomes/10(5) ganglion cells. These levels of latent viral genome loads have implications for virus distribution in and reactivation from human sensory ganglia. 相似文献
