78
Q

what does Parvovirus B19 require to gain entry to host cell and establish infection

A

P blood antigen = B19V receptor, found on erythroid progenitor cells

79
Q

How does parvovirus replicate

A

Enters nucleus, folds ssDNA back on itself in hairpin loop structure (self priming)

80
Q

What is the relationship between viral protein NS1 and B19V pathogenesis?

A

NS1 affects cellular DNA and induces apoptosis of erythroid progenitor cells leading to a decrease in the production of erythrocytes (promotes NFkB binding site to IL-6 – activation of polyclonal B cells to cause inflammation?)

81
Q

How to dx parvovirus (beyond clinical signs)

A

serology for anti-pv IgG and IgM. IgM at time of rash, 3rd day of TAC. PCR could be used - but will be positive even in healthy individuals.

82
Q

typical clinical presentation erythema infectiosum

A

Fever 7-10 days after exposure

Then a Slapped cheek appearance and lacy exanthem rash for a few days, may spead

83
Q

A

Parvovirus B19 in individuals already at risk for anemia –> disastrously low blood counts

84
Q

Other conditions caused by B19V

A

Hydrops fetalis, meningitis, encephalitis, neuropathy

ARthritis, arthralgia (NS-1 hyperinflammatory may lead to autoimmune antibodies)

85
Q

how is CTFV infection diagnosed?

A

Virus isolated from whole blood by inoculation of cell cultures. RT-PCR can detect viral RNA in red blood cells and in plasma. Specific neutralizing antibodies appear in the 2nd wk of illness and can be detected by plaque reduction tests. Can also do ELISA or fluorescent antibody tests.
Usually clinical.

86
Q

Malignancies associated with EBV

A
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Burkitt lymphoma
Hodgkin disease
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (extremely rare and severe--occurs with a certain an inborn error of metabolism)
87
Q

How does EBV gain entry to B cells and establish infection

A

Viral envelope proteins gp350/220 bind the C3d complement receptor (aka CD21) –> endocytosis
Genome circularizes and immediate early, then early then late genes are expressed.
Viral particles then bud through cell membranes to make infectious particles.

88
Q

EBV oncogene LMP1 function

A

The EBV oncogene LMP-1 functions as a constitutively active CD40. CD40 is normally responsible for CD4+ T-cell dependent activation of B cells.

89
Q

What transcription factors does LMP-1 activate?

A

NF-kB

90
Q

EBV oncogene LMP2 function

A

constitutively active B cell receptor, promoting MAPK activation and transcription of fos/jun (et a) regulated genes. Normally responsible for antigen dependent B cell activation.

91
Q

What transcription factors are activated by LMP2?

A

fos/jun (et al) transcription factors

92
Q

EBV oncogene EBNA3C function

A

The EBV oncogene EBNA3C functions to bind and activate cyclin D1 complexes, resulting in:
Hyperphosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (Rb)

Patients who survive FIM develop lymphoproliferative disorders and dysgammaglobulinemias

101
Q

Molecular basis for X linked lymphoproliferative disease

A

mutation that results in non-functional SAP protein (SAP adapter protein that recruits kinases to immunological synapse)
SAP depletion results in deficiency of IL-4 production by T cells.

102
Q

IL-4 normally signals

A

CD4 TH2 differentiation and regulates B cell class switching

103
Q

How are HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 different?

A

HTLV-1: >CD4+; HTLV-2: >CD8+

HTLV-1 causes Adult T-cell leukemia, and both 1 and 2 cause HTLV-associate myelopathy

104
Q

What does Ebola virus bind and how to get into cell

A

attachment factors and receptors on the cell surface through the viral spike protein, glycoprotein (GP)

105
Q

what happens after binding of ebola virus to outside of cell

A

The virus is then internalized into a macropinosome (step 2) and trafficked to an endosomal compartment containing the cysteine proteases cathepsin B (CatB) and CatL (step 3).

106
Q

What do catB and catL do to ebola

A

These proteases digest GP to a 19 kDa form, which is then triggered to initiate fusion between the viral and endosomal membranes (step 4).

107
Q

what happens after fusion of ebola membrane and endosomal membrane?

A

After fusion, the viral nucleocapsid is released into the cytoplasm, where the genome is replicated (step 5) and transcribed (step 6) with the aid of the viral proteins VP35, VP30 and L, and viral mRNAs are then translated (step 7).

108
Q

GP protein production in ebola life cycle

A

mRNAs encoding GP are brought to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (step 8), where GP is synthesized, modified with N-linked sugars and trimerized. GP is further modified in the Golgi and delivered to the plasma membrane in secretory vesicles (step 9).

109
Q

final assembly ebola life cycle

A

At the plasma membrane the ribonucleoprotein complex (RNA plus nucleoprotein (NP)) and associated viral proteins assemble with the membrane-associated proteins (matrix proteins VP24 and VP40, and GP), and the resultant virions bud from the cell surface (step 10). Non-structural forms of GP, including soluble GP (sGP), are also secreted (step 11).

110
Q

pathogenesis ebola w/ tropism

A

First in DCs, monocytes and macrophages. Neutrophils see viral antigen and are activated (degranulate). As more virus, lymphocytes apoptose, see failure of immune response. (upregulate inhibitory molecules, PD1) infection spreads to many cells, ie hepatocytes. Too many cytokines.

111
Q

Early signs of ebola infection

A

incubation: 2-21 days
Fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, sore throat
vomit, diarrhea, rash, kidney/liver issues, internal and external bleeding

112
Q

Cause of death for patients who die of ebola

A

organ failure

113
Q

121
Q

What molecular interaction allows HTLV to enter a cell?

A

HTLV binds host gp46 and fuses w/ host cell membrane → integrates into DNA → TAX-induced (affects CREB, CREm, NFkB, and NSF) viral gene transcription and REX induced translation or viral mRNA

122
Q

How does HTLV become a provirus?

A

Once in cell, Reverse transcriptase (from virus) transcribes viral RNA into dsDNA. dsDNA (cDNA) is transported to nucleus (as a complex w/ p24 capsid protein and integrase and RT). Integrase helps insert DNA into host genome → lifelong infection.
LTRs (integration sites where provirus attaches to cellular DNA, regulatory)

123
Q

What host genes are upregulated in HTLV-1 Tax?

A

21-bp enhancer, ***NF-kB binding site, serum-response element → cellular genes such as IL-2, IL-2R, fos, erb…
Overproduce IFN-gamma →inflammation

124
Q

What host genes are downregulated by HTLV-1 Tax?

A

beta-polymerase gene = required for genomic stability (does base excision repair)

125
Q

How does Tax contribute to T lymphocyte transformation in HTLV-1?

A

Upregulate proteins for cell growth → proliferation but downregulate pol B which leads to more genetic instability –> malignancy

126
Q

clinical presentation ATL

A

Generalized lymphadenopathy, visceral involvement, hypercalcemia, cutaneous involvement (localized or diffuse, papules, nodules, plaques or patches or erythemoderma, w/ infiltration of malignant lymphocytes, pautrier’s microabscesses, lytic bone lesions, peripheral blood involvement (flower cells).
