Autophagy, Inflammation, and Immunity: A Troika Governing Cancer and Its Treatment

TL;DR: New studies indicate that, in addition to its cell-autonomous anti-tumorigenic functions, autophagy inhibits cancer development by orchestrating inflammation and immunity and should improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection of the Central Nervous System: Insights Into Proposed Interrelationships With Neurodegenerative Disorders.

TL;DR: There is accumulating evidence that suggests that HSV-1 infection of the brain both, in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals could lead to neuronal damage and eventually, neurodegenerative disorders.
Book ChapterDOI

Autophagy and Viral Infection.

TL;DR: This chapter illustrates how autophagy prevents viral infection to generate an optimal anti-viral milieu, and focuses on how viruses subvert and hijack the autophagic process to evade immunosurveillance, thereby facilitating viral replication and pathogenesis.

Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus K7 Modulates Rubicon-Mediated Inhibition of Autophagosome Maturation

TL;DR: It is reported that K SHV K7 protein interacts with Rubicon autophagy protein and inhibits the autophagosome maturation step by blocking Vps34 enzymatic activity, further highlighting how KSHV deregulates autophagic-mediated host immunity for its life cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

EBV reduces autophagy, intracellular ROS and mitochondria to impair monocyte survival and differentiation.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that the interconnected reduction of autophagy, intracellular ROS and mitochondria mediated by EBV switches monocyte differentiation into apoptosis, giving new insights into the mechanisms through which this virus reduces immune surveillance.

Bcl-2 antiapoptotic proteins inhibit Beclin 1-dependent autophagy.

TL;DR: Bcl-2 not only functions as an antiapoptotic protein, but also as an antiautophagy protein via its inhibitory interaction with Beclin 1, which may help maintain autophagy at levels that are compatible with cell survival, rather than cell death.

Hepatitis C Virus Infection

TL;DR: The institution of blood-screening measures in developed countries has decreased the risk of transfusion-associated hepatitis to a negligible level, but new cases continue to occur mainly as a result of injection-drug use and, to a lesser degree, through other means of percutaneous or mucous-membrane exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a systems understanding of MHC class I and MHC class II antigen presentation

TL;DR: A timely evaluation of the biology of antigen presentation and a survey of issues that are considered unresolved are presented.
