Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of a new type C retrovirus (HTLV) in primary uncultured cells of a patient with Sézary T-cell leukaemia.
TL;DR: Analysis of the proteins and nucleic acids of this retrovirus isolate indicates that it is closely related to HTLVCR, a retrov virus recently isolated and characterized from a patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) but distinct from known animal retroviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human mesenchymal stem cells exert potent antitumorigenic effects in a model of Kaposi's sarcoma
Aarif Y. Khakoo,Aarif Y. Khakoo,Shibani Pati,Stasia A. Anderson,William Reid,Mohamed F. Elshal,Ilsa I Rovira,Ahn T Q Nguyen,Daniela Malide,Christian A. Combs,Gentzon Hall,Jianhu Zhang,Mark Raffeld,Terry B. Rogers,William G. Stetler-Stevenson,Joseph A. Frank,Marvin S. Reitz,Toren Finkel +17 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in contrast to other stem cells or normal stromal cells, MSCs possess intrinsic antineoplastic properties and that this stem cell population might be of particular utility for treating those human malignancies characterized by dysregulated Akt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorothioate analogs of oligodeoxynucleotides: inhibitors of replication and cytopathic effects of human immunodeficiency virus.
M Matsukura,Kazuo Shinozuka,Gerald Zon,Hiroaki Mitsuya,Marvin S. Reitz,Jack S. Cohen,Samuel Broder +6 more
TL;DR: Phosphorothioate analogs of oligodeoxynucleotides could represent a unique class of experimental therapeutic agents against the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and related diseases, however, their mechanism of action is likely to be complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Bcl-2 homolog encoded by Kaposi sarcoma-associated virus, human herpesvirus 8, inhibits apoptosis but does not heterodimerize with Bax or Bak
Emily H. Cheng,John Nicholas,David S. Bellows,Gary S. Hayward,Hong Guano Guo,Marvin S. Reitz,J. Marie Hardwick +6 more
TL;DR: Overexpression of KSbcl-2 blocked apoptosis as efficiently as B cl-2, Bcl-xL, or another viral BCl-2 homolog encoded by Epstein-Barr virus, BHRF1, implying that BH3 may not be essential for anti-apoptotic function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated human herpesvirus-8 encodes homologues of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and interleukin-6
John Nicholas,Vivian R. Ruvolo,William H. Burns,William H. Burns,Gordon R. Sandford,Gordon R. Sandford,Xiaoyu Wan,Dolores M. Ciufo,Sara B. Hendrickson,Sara B. Hendrickson,Hong Guang Guo,Gary S. Hayward,Marvin S. Reitz +12 more
TL;DR: The presence of a functional IL-6 homologue encoded by HHV-8 may provide a mechanistic model for the hypothesized role of HHV -8 in KS, MCD and BCBL that involves the mitogenic effects of vlL-6 on surrounding cells.
