Journal ArticleDOI
Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus–induced cellular reprogramming contributes to the lymphatic endothelial gene expression in Kaposi sarcoma
Hsei-Wei Wang,Matthew Trotter,Dimitrios Lagos,Dimitra Bourboulia,Stephen Henderson,Taija Makinen,Stephen Elliman,Adrienne M. Flanagan,Kari Alitalo,Chris Boshoff +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown by gene expression microarrays that neoplastic cells of Kaposi sarcoma are closely related to lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and that Kaposi Sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) infects both LECs and blood vascular endothelial Cells (BECs) in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibodies against Human Herpesvirus 8 in Black South African Patients with Cancer
Freddy Sitas,H Carrara,Valerie Beral,Robert U. Newton,Gillian K Reeves,Diana Bull,Ute Jentsch,R Pacella-Norman,Dimitra Bourboulia,Denise Whitby,Chris Boshoff,Weiss Ra +11 more
TL;DR: Among black patients with cancer in South Africa, the seroprevalence of anti-HHV-8 antibodies is high and is specifically associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, particularly at high titers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of human mesenchymal stem cells increases their dependency on oxidative phosphorylation for energy production.
Juan M. Funes,Marisol Quintero,Stephen Henderson,Dolores Martinez,Uzma Qureshi,Claire Westwood,Mark Clements,Dimitra Bourboulia,R. Barbara Pedley,Salvador Moncada,Chris Boshoff +10 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that aerobic glycolysis is not an intrinsic component of the transformation of adult stem cells, and that oncogenic adaptation to bioenergetic requirements, in some circumstances, may also rely on increases in oxidative phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serologic evidence for mother-to-child transmission of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection.
Dimitra Bourboulia,Denise Whitby,Chris Boshoff,Robert U. Newton,Valerie Beral,H Carrara,Anthony Lane,Freddy Sitas +7 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Serologic evidence of human herpesvirus 8 transmission by homosexual but not heterosexual sex.
N. A. Smith,Caroline A. Sabin,R. Gopal,Dimitra Bourboulia,W. Labbet,Chris Boshoff,D. Barlow,B. S. Peters,A de Ruiter,Dannae Brown,Robin A. Weiss,Jennifer M. Best,Denise Whitby +12 more
TL;DR: Among heterosexuals there was no evidence for sexual transmission; the only independent risk factor for HHV-8 seropositivity was birth in Africa and, among homo/bisexual men, a history of syphilis and HSV-2 and human immunodeficiency virus seropposivity.
