Abstract
Background: Vitamin A is important for the immune system, and might suppress inflammatory activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objectives: We aimed to examine if vitamin A levels were associated with MS risk in samples collected prospectively and during gestation. Methods: We measured Retinol Binding Protein (RBP – a surrogate marker for vitamin A) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, in (1) prospectively collected biobank blood samples from MS cases and controls, and (2) gestational samples where the offspring had later developed MS, and gestational control samples. The risk of MS was calculated using matched multivariable logistic regression adjusted for confounders. Results: In prospective samples, RBP levels within the second quintile (vs. the first) were associated with a lower MS risk (OR = 0.38, 95% CI 0.19–0.74). No effect on MS risk in the offspring by gestational RBP levels was found. In young subjects hs-CRP levels ≥10 mg/l in prospective samples were associated with a lower MS risk (OR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.14–0.95). Conclusions: Our results suggest that sub-optimal vitamin A levels may be associated with MS risk. The association between hs-CRP levels and MS risk in young subjects may support the role of the hygiene hypothesis in MS aetiology.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important process in tumor metastasis. The EMT-related events associated with metastasis of NPC in the absence of EBV have not been elucidated. We established an EBV-negative NPC cell line from a bone marrow biopsy of an NPC patient. Using a Matrigel system we isolated an invasive and non-invasive sublines, designated NPC-BM29 and NPC-BM00. NPC-BM29 acquired an invasive-like phenotype characterized by EMT, marked by down-regulation of E-cadherin and β-catenin with concomitant increased expression of Ets1. NPC-BM29 cells expressed ≥ 10-fold higher of MMP-9 than NPC-BM00 cells. NPC-BM29 cells grew better in 2% serum than NPC-BM00 cells, with a population doubling-time of 26.8 h and 30.7 h, respectively. A marked reduction in colony-formation ability of NPC-BM00 cells compared to NPC-BM29 was observed. Wound-healing assay revealed that NPC-BM29 cells displayed higher motility than NPC-BM00 and the motility was further enhanced by cell treatment with TPA, a PKC activator. Cell surface markers and tumor-associated molecules, AE3, MAK6 and sialyl-Tn, were up-regulated in NPC-BM29 cells, whereas the expression of HLA-DR and CD54 was significantly increased in NPC-BM00 cells. NPC-BM29 consistently released higher levels of IL-8 and IL-10 than NPC-BM00, with low levels of IL-1α expression in both cell lines. Higher level of VEGF production was detected in NPC-BM00 than NPC-BM29 cells. These data show that EBV is not required for exhibiting multiple metastatic phenotypes associated with EMT. More studies that target right molecules/signalings associated with the EMT may offer new therapeutic intervention options for NPC invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
The combination of sodium butyrate (NaB) and ganciclovir (GCV) was considered to be a noteworthy therapeutic strategy in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancers. However, clinical studies have indicated that an extremely high dose of NaB is required to obtain the expected curative efficacy. This obviously limits the practical clinical application of the two drugs combined. In this study, we investigated the possibility of sensitizing tumor cells to NaB and GCV mediated cytotoxicity by modulating intracellular signal pathways. The results showed that the disruption of Ras/Raf activity by expressing dominant negative forms of both Ras and Raf-1 did not alter the potency of the NaB and GCV combination in the EBV-positive cell line, B95-8. However, blocking Akt activity by expressing its dominant negative form remarkably promoted NaB and GCV-mediated cytotoxicity via a thymidine kinase (TK)-independent mechanism. Interestingly, it was found that the constitutive activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MEKK1) dramatically enhanced the sensitization of the cells to the combination of NaB and GCV, accompanied with an increase in TK expression in B95-8 cells. These results suggest that interfering with either the Akt or MEKK1 signaling pathway may be a useful therapeutic strategy to increase the sensitivity of EBV-positive tumor cells to the combination of NaB and GCV.

Abstract
Latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is maintained as a nucleosome-covered episome that can be transcriptionally activated by overexpression of the viral immediate-early protein, Zta. We show here that reactivation of latent EBV by Zta can be significantly enhanced by coexpression of the cellular coactivators CREB binding protein (CBP) and p300. A stable complex containing both Zta and CBP could be isolated from lytically stimulated, but not latently infected RAJI nuclear extracts. Zta-mediated viral reactivation and transcriptional activation were both significantly inhibited by coexpression of the E1A 12S protein but not by an N-terminal deletion mutation of E1A (E1ADelta2-36), which fails to bind CBP. Zta bound directly to two related cysteine- and histidine-rich domains of CBP, referred to as C/H1 and C/H3. These domains both interacted specifically with the transcriptional activation domain of Zta in an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Interestingly, we found that the C/H3 domain was a potent dominant negative inhibitor of Zta transcriptional activation function. In contrast, an amino-terminal fragment containing the C/H1 domain was sufficient for coactivation of Zta transcription and viral reactivation function. Thus, CBP can stimulate the transcription of latent EBV in a histone acetyltransferase-independent manner mediated by the CBP amino-terminal C/H1-containing domain. We propose that CBP may regulate aspects of EBV latency and reactivation by integrating cellular signals mediated by competitive interactions between C/H1, C/H3, and the Zta activation domain.

Abstract
The reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus from latency requires the transcriptional induction of the viral encoded lytic cycle initiator gene, BZLF1, and a concomitant switch from OriP to OriLyt directed viral DNA replication. To investigate the role of host cell factors in these events, a series of EBV-immortalized clonal lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) were derived from the spontaneous outgrowth of peripheral blood lymphocytes from a single EBV-seropositive individual. We show that the state of virus activation among this family of isogenic clonal LCL differs, suggesting that each B-cell clone expresses a different complement of cellular factors that influence the state of viral activation. As a first step in the identification of factors involved in EBV reactivation, nuclear extracts were prepared from tightly latent, spontaneously replicating and latent LCL treated with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and sodium butyrate. The extracts were used in gel mobility shift analyses to compare DNA-protein complex formation among a series of target DNA sequences, including OriLyt and promoter sequences from BZLF1 and BRLF1. The DNA-protein complex patterns were reproducible and indistinguishable among extracts obtained from the latent LCL, but differed from those observed in extracts obtained from the spontaneously replicating LCL, particularly in regard to the binding of a CREB protein to the BZLF1 promoter. Moreover, extracts prepared from LCL treated with TPA to induce virus reactivation resulted in the formation of complexes that differed from those prepared from the spontaneously replicating LCL. Taken together, these data suggest that B-cell factors govern the state of viral activation and that EBV may be reactivated by more than one pathway.

Abstract
Disruption of latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is induced by the key immediate-early protein BZLF1 (or Z, a member of the basic leucine-zipper family), which transactivates the viral early promoters. Viral reactivation is marked by renewed synthesis of early gene products such as EBV early antigen-diffuse (EA-D). Retinoic acid has been previously shown to inhibit reactivation of EBV infection. Retinoic acid responsive receptors are known to act as positively regulating transcription factors but can also negatively regulate AP-1 responsive genes. Here we demonstrate that the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) and retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha) inhibit the ability of the Z protein to transactivate the viral early promoter BMRF1, which directs transcription of EA-D. Z can also reciprocally inhibit RAR alpha- and RXR alpha-induced activation of an autoregulated cellular promoter for the RAR beta gene (BRE) through a non-DNA binding mechanism. RXR alpha inhibits Z from binding to the AP-1 motif in the BMRF1 promoter and, reciprocally, Z inhibits RAR alpha from binding to its retinoic acid response element in the BRE promoter. Furthermore, a glutathione-S-transferase-RXR alpha fusion protein can interact directly with the Z protein. These results suggest that a direct protein-protein interaction between Z (the viral protein) and RAR alpha and RXR alpha (cellular proteins) can modulate the reactivation of latent EBV infection.

Abstract
We have shown that modulation of intracellular calcium in EBV latently infected cells could induce the expression of viral antigens, and suggested that a protein kinase-C (PKC) may play a major role in the EBV genome activation. We now report further investigations on the role of PKC using 2 selective enzymatic inhibitors [1-(5-Isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine] (H-7) and Staurosporine. We show that these inhibitors can abrogate the inductive effect of TPA or the combination of TPA plus n-butyrate. The inhibitors have no effect on induction by calcium ionophores or by viral superinfection. In this context the effect of verapamil (a specific calcium channel blocker) and of several calmodulin antagonists was investigated. No inhibitory effect of these agents could be demonstrated on any of the induction systems examined. These observations strengthen the idea that in some instances cellular PKC plays a role in the expression of viral antigens; however, alternative regulatory mechanisms cannot be excluded.

Abstract
We report the use of monoclonal antibody against the early antigen diffuse component (anti-EA-D) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to analyze, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the expression of EA-D in various human lymphoblastoid cell lines activated by chemical inducers. The kinetics of synthesis of EA-D in P3HR-1, B95-8, and Ramos/AW cells were similar in that they all reached the peak of synthesis on day 5 after induction. Surprisingly, no expression of EA-D was found in induced BJAB/GC, an EBV-genome-containing cell line. EBV-negative cell lines, BJAB and Ramos, were negative for EA-D. Raji cells had no detectable EA-D but responded rapidly to induction, reaching a peak on day 3. Superinfection of Raji cells also resulted in marked induction of EA-D, which reached a plateau between 8 to 12 h postinfection. Western blotting coupled with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to identify polypeptides representing EA-D. A family of four polypeptides with molecular weights of 46,000 (46K protein), 49,000, 52,000, and 55,000 were identified to be reactive with monoclonal anti-EA-D antiserum. The pattern of EA-D polypeptides expressed in each cell line was different. Of particular interest was the expression of a large quantity of 46K protein both in induced Raji and P3HR-1 cells, but not in superinfected Raji cells. A 49K doublet was expressed in activated p3HR-1, B95-8, and Ramos/AW cells and in superinfected Raji cells. In addition, two distinct 52K and 55K polypeptides were expressed in induced Ramos/AW and superinfected Raji cells. However, none of these EA-D polypeptides was detectable in BJAB/GC, BJAB, Ramos, and mock-infected Raji cells. To approximate relative concentrations of EA-D in cell extracts, we employed the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot dot methods by using one of the purified EA-D components to construct a standard curve. Depending upon the cell lines, it was estimated that ca. 1 to 3% (determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and 0.8 to 1.6% (determined by immunoblot dot) of total proteins from maximally induced cells were EA-D. These results suggest that differential expression of EA-D polypeptides could be of importance in the diagnosis of state of EBV infection.

Abstract
The effects of 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (DHPG), a new antiviral drug, and acyclovir (ACV) [9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine] on the replication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were compared. Both drugs inhibited EBV DNA replication in P3HR-1 cells and superinfected Raji cells, but neither inhibited replication of the plasmid form of the EBV genome in latently infected Raji cells. However, DHPG had a more prolonged inhibitory effect than ACV. Although the effect of the drugs is prompt, the kinetics of inhibition of EBV replication indicated that a drug exposure of 14 days was needed to reduce the EBV genome copy number to the residual plasmid level (30 copies per cell). The inhibitory effect of ACV was readily reversed within 11 days after removal of the drug, in contrast to the more prolonged effect exerted by DHPG, which persisted for more than 21 days. The 50% inhibitory doses for cell growth of ACV and DHPG were estimated to be 250 and 200 microM, respectively. The viral 50% and 90% effective doses of inhibition were, respectively, 0.3 and 9 microM for ACV and 0.05 and 3 microM for DHPG. The therapeutic indices (50% inhibitory dose/50% effective dose) for ACV and DHPG were 833 and 4,000, respectively. Synthesis of EBV-associated polypeptides was also affected. In superinfected Raji cells, ACV (100 microM) and DHPG (30 microM) inhibited synthesis of polypeptides with molecular weights of 145,000 and 140,000; in addition, synthesis of polypeptides with molecular weights of 110,000 and 85,000 was markedly reduced by DHPG but not by ACV. However, after drug removal, the inhibitory effect of ACV on polypeptide synthesis was abolished in contrast to the more persistent effect of DHPG.

Abstract
Topical treatment of primary herpetic keratitis with 0.25% retinoic acid was effective in significantly diminishing the severity of epithelial lesions in rabbits. Antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 was also demonstrated in cell culture. Retinoic acid treatment of virus particles for 24 hours had no effect on the infectivity of the virus. At effective antiviral concentrations in cell culture, retinoic acid had toxic action on two different cell lines as detected by an increase in cellular generation time or inhibition of DNA synthesis. Topical instillation of retinoic acid into the eyes of rabbits at the effective antiviral dose (0.25%) had no inhibitory effect on corneal wound closure but did reduce the rate of incorporation of thymidine into DNA by 27%. These studies suggest that although retinoic acid may inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1, it is difficult to distinguish antiviral effects from anticellular effects.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the cause of infectious mononucleosis and is associated with three human malignancies. Acyclovir [9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine], the first clinically useful drug effective against replication of EBV, is without effect against latent or persistent EBV infection. Three nucleoside analogs, E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine, 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodocytosine, and 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyluracil are potent inhibitors of EBV replication in vitro. Moreover, in contrast to the reversibility of viral inhibition by Acyclovir, these three drugs have prolonged effects in suppressing viral replication even after the drugs are removed from persistently infected cell cultures.

Abstract
The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is a potent inducer of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) gene expression. The optimal conditions for maximum activation of latent EBV genomes by TPA were determined. Although TPA is able to induce replication of EBV genomes in P3HR-1 cells in all phases of growth, the greatest increase in viral genome copies per cell (15-fold above the control level) occurred in nonproliferating cells as opposed to cells growing exponentially (6-fold above the control level). The synthesis of chromosomal proteins in nonproliferating cells under the conditions that induce maximum activation of latent virus genomes by TPA was studied. Selective stimulation in chromosomal protein synthesis accompanied the increase in EBV genomes in P3HR-1 cells despite an overall reduction in total cellular protein synthesis. Comparison of the chromosomal proteins from TPA-induced P3HR-1 cells and from superinfected Raji cells revealed comigrating chromosomal polypeptides of 145K, 140K, 135K, 110K, 85K, and 55K that are presumably EBV associated. The selective stimulation of synthesis of these chromosomal proteins in TPA-treated P3HR-1 cells was closely associated with the activation of latent EBV genomes.
