Disease relevance of Human T-lymphotropic virus 1

 

High impact information on Human T-lymphotropic virus 1

  • We show that the receptor binding domains of both HTLV-1 and -2 envelope glycoproteins inhibit glucose transport by interacting with GLUT-1, the ubiquitous vertebrate glucose transporter [6].
  • In searching for cellular targets of the HTLV-I oncoprotein Tax, we identified TXBP181, which we characterized as the human homolog of yeast mitotic checkpoint MAD1 protein [7].
  • HTLV-I Tax protein binds to MEKK1 to stimulate IkappaB kinase activity and NF-kappaB activation [8].
  • Regulation of the human interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain promoter: activation of a nonfunctional promoter by the transactivator gene of HTLV-I [9].
  • The viral Tax protein, which is encoded by human T-cell leukaemia virus HTLV-I, activates nuclear translocation of the NF-kappa B/Rel transcription factors and relieves cytoplasmic sequestration of RelA and Rel by heterodimerization with NF-kappa B1/p1O5 (refs 1,2) [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Human T-lymphotropic virus 1

  • The structure of the A6 alphabetaTCR/HTLV-1 Tax-peptide/MHC I complex with proline 6 of Tax substituted with alanine (P6A), an antagonist, is nearly identical to the structure with wild-type Tax agonist [11].
  • Constitutive activation of different Jak tyrosine kinases in human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) tax protein or virus-transformed cells [12].
  • Hydrocortisone, a drug effective in vivo for the treatment of HTLV-I uveitis, severely depressed cytokine production in vitro in most cases [13].
  • Recombinant protein (RP) B1 contains aminoacids 166-201 from HTLV-I exterior glycoprotein gp46 and was reactive with HTLV-I samples only [14].
  • By using a competition assay with a biotin-labeled 0.5 alpha antibody, we observed that 15 out of 15 patients with adult T-cell leukemia had antibodies that block binding of the 0.5 alpha antibody to HTLV-I virions [15].
 

Biological context of Human T-lymphotropic virus 1

 

Anatomical context of Human T-lymphotropic virus 1

  • Cell lines infected by HTLV-I express levels of TCR beta mRNA similar to PHA stimulated lymphocytes, suggesting that this gene is not transcriptionally activated as a result of infection by HTLV-I [20].
  • The collective evidence indicates that the endogenous IL-2 receptor gene is activated in human and rat lymphoid cell lines with HTLV-I production [21].
  • The present results suggest that T cells containing restricted V beta CDR3 motifs, which are also found in MS and EAE, become activated upon HTLV-I infection and infiltrate into the spinal cord lesions of HAM/TSP patients [22].
  • This study demonstrates that HTLV-I can directly infect normal mature human B cells, and that the Tac antigen, which may be induced by infection with HTLV-I, is the functional receptor for IL-2-induced B cell differentiation [23].
  • In contrast, no sample from 32 patients with uncomplicated rheumatoid arthritis, 27 with Felty's syndrome, 11 with other connective tissue disorders, or 21 normal individuals reacted with HTLV-I [24].
 

Gene context of Human T-lymphotropic virus 1

  • STAT3 expression in particular has been associated with Abl, Src, and HTLV-1 transformation of normal cells [25].
  • These results, taken together with those on normal IL-2 receptors on HTLV-I-negative T-CLL cells, suggest that abnormal expression of the IL-2 receptor in ATL is closely associated with HTLV-I infection and may play a role in the neoplastic growth of ATL cells [26].
  • HTLV-I-infected TCC, but not HTLV-I negative TCC, constitutively produced high amounts of IL-6 (1,336 +/- 1,050 pg/ml) and TNF-alpha (289 +/- 237 pg/ml) in the absence of any stimuli [13].
  • HTLV-1 Tax protein interacts with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4A and counteracts its inhibitory activity towards CDK4 [27].
  • Activation of the IL-2 gene promoter by HTLV-I tax involves induction of NF-AT complexes bound to the CD28-responsive element [28].
