Аннотация
In humans, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes a persistent latent infection in peripheral resting B lymphocytes. Virus reactivation is highly restricted. Whereas in healthy humans the infection usually is benign, immunocompromised patients show an increased risk for EBV-associated malignancies, accompanied by an increase in virus replication and in the number of virus-infected cells. To search for viral and host factors regulating virus reactivation, we used conditionally EBV-immortalized B cells. We found that CD40-CD40 ligand interaction and the viral mimic of activated CD40, EBV latent membrane protein 1, suppress virus reactivation. Both inhibit anti-IgM or phorbolester-induced transcription of the viral immediate early protein BZLF1, which controls entry into the viral lytic cycle. The finding that latent membrane protein 1 and CD40 contribute to the regulation of latency may have important implications for the balance between EBV and its host in normal as well as in immunocompromised individuals.
