View SamplesThe Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), the most common HIV/AIDS-associated tumor worldwide. Involvement of the oral cavity portends a poor prognosis for patients with KS, but mechanisms for KSHV regulation of the oral tumor microenvironment are largely unknown. Infiltrating fibroblasts are found with KS lesions, and KSHV establishes latent infection within human primary fibroblasts in vitro, but contributions for KSHV-infected fibroblasts to the KS microenvironment have not been previously characterized. In the present study, we used Illumina microarray to detect the global gene profile altered in KSHV-infected primary human fibroblasts (PDLF and HGF) isolated from the oral cavity.

View SamplesKSHV-related primary effusion lymphoma is mostly seen in immunocompromised individuals such as HIV+ patients, who frequently suffering polymicrobial infections including different opportunistic pathogens. It is interesting to explore the host gene profile in PEL altered by bacterial quorum sensing molecules, the key systems regulating virulence factors in many bacteria.

View SamplesPrimary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare B-cell malignancy that originates from B cells latently infected with Kaposis sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV, also known as human herpesvirus-8, HHV8). Our previous data indicated that several exogenous ceramide and dh-ceramide species, such as C18-Cer and dhC16-Cer, also displayed effective anti-cancer activities for KSHV+ PEL in vitro and in vivo. However, the underlying mechanisms for exogenous ceramide killing PEL cells still require further investigation, which will be helpful to better understand PEL pathogenesis and identify more potential therapeutic targets. In the current study, we used Illumina microarray to determine the altered gene profile in KSHV+ PEL cell-line, BCBL-1 exposure to dhC16-Cer.
Up-regulation of tumor suppressor genes by exogenous dhC16-Cer contributes to its anti-cancer activity in primary effusion lymphoma.

View SamplesThe Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), the most common HIV/AIDS-associated tumor worldwide. Transmission routes of KSHV in the general population are poorly understood. Whereas sexual transmission appears to be common in homosexual men, the evidence for heterosexual transmission is less convincing. In fact, KSHVDNA sequences have been detected in the prostate, semen, and in the female genital tract. Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major risk factor and is a requirement for the development of cervical cancer. However, it remains unknown the interaction between KSHV and HPV, and the contribution of KSHV to cervical cancer development and pathogenesis. In the present study, we used Illumina microarray to detect the global gene profile altered in KSHV-infected siHa cervical cancer cell-line containing integrated HPV16 genome.
KSHV co-infection down-regulates HPV16 E6 and E7 from cervical cancer cells.

View Samplesthe molecular mechanisms for the biphasic effect of alcohol are not fully understood. The goal of the study is to identify genes that are differentially expressed following alcohol exposure of 50mM and 100mM ethanol for 24 hours.
Ethanol upregulates glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper expression and modulates cellular inflammatory responses in lung epithelial cells.

View SamplesHuman cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces pro-inflammatory monocytes following infection and we have evidence that EGFR is a key mediator in this early activation. To begin to address how this signalling pathway is responsible for the rapid activation of infected monocytes, we examined the role this pathway played in the transcriptome of infected monocytes. Global transcriptional profiling using cDNA microarrays revealed a significant number of genes, including inflammatory genes, were regulated in a EGFR-dependent manner, identifying this pathway as a key cellular control point in the conversion of monocytes to an activated pro-inflammatory state following HCMV infection.
Activation of EGFR on monocytes is required for human cytomegalovirus entry and mediates cellular motility.
