The interplay between viral-derived miRNAs and host immunity during infection [PDF]

, 2019
MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression during cellular processes. The host-encoded miRNAs are known to modulate the antiviral defense during viral infection.

A Very Strong Enhancer Is Located Upstream of an Immediate Early Gene of Human Cytomegalovirus [PDF]

, 1985
A strong transcription enhancer was identified in the genomic DNA (235 kb) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a ubiquitous and severe pathogen of the herpesvirus group.

HIV-negative disseminated Kaposi’s sarcoma in a Taiwanese patient

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011
Kaposi’s sarcoma is a common malignancy associated with HIV/AIDS. Herein, we describe the case of a 26-year-old man who presented with bilateral neck and inguinal lymphadenopathy, a massive tumor on the gum, and a nodule over the left eye.

Human Herpesvirus 8-Encoded Cytokines [PDF]

Future Virology, 2010
Human herpesvirus (HHV)-8, also called Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, was discovered in 1994 and was rapidly sequenced, revealing several unique and surprising features of its genetic makeup. Among these discoveries was the identification of the first viral homolog of IL-6 and three CC/beta-chemokine ligands (viral CCL-1, -2 and -3), not ...

Human herpesvirus 8 seropositivity among sexually active adults in Uganda.

PLoS ONE, 2011
IntroductionSexual transmission of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) has been implicated among homosexual men, but the evidence for sexual transmission among heterosexual individuals is controversial. We investigated the role of sexual transmission of HHV8 in a

Endemic Kaposi sarcoma in HIV-negative children and adolescents: an evaluation of overlapping and distinct clinical features in comparison with HIV-related disease

Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2018
Background Endemic Kaposi sarcoma (KS) was first described in African children over fifty years ago, but has recently been overshadowed by HIV-related disease.

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]

, 2008
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes. [PDF]

, 2016
Host and virus interactions occurring at the post-transcriptional level are critical for infection but remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive transcriptome-wide analyses revealing that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in

Is human herpesvirus 8 infection more common in men than in women? an updated meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Clinically, most patients with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) are male, and several direct and indirect mechanisms may underlie this increased susceptibility in men, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-

Mycosis fungoides and Kaposi’s sarcoma association in an HIV-negative patient [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016
The association of mycosis fungoides and kaposi’s sarcoma in HIV-negative patients is a rare phenomenon. The presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) – associated with all forms of Kaposi’s sarcoma – has also been recently identified in mycosis fungoides ...
