Abstract
Background To date, Kaposi sarcoma has not been mentioned among the adverse effects of triptolide/tripdiolide, ethyl acetate extracts or polyglycosides of the Chinese herbal remedy Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F. Case Report A patient was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 29 years. She underwent treatment with corticosteroids, methotrexate and gold sodium thiosulfate, and was chronically taking ketoprofen. At the age of 59 years she started to take a powder (≈2 g/day) from a Chinese physician for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This powder was supplied to her regularly for 10 years. At the age of 69 years, multiple soft, violaceous to dark-red patches, plaques, nodules and blisters of varying sizes appeared on a background of severely edematous skin on her legs, and later on her arms. Biopsy specimens of the leg lesions were diagnostic for human herpesvirus 8-associated Kaposi sarcoma. Triptolide (235 μg/1 g) and tripdiolide were found in the Chinese powder by the use of Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. Administration of the powder was stopped and medication with paclitaxel was introduced. General condition of the patient improved and skin lesions diminished significantly. Conclusions This case indicates a possible association between triptolide/tripdiolide chronic intake and development of human herpesvirus 8-associated Kaposi sarcoma. Triptolide/tripdiolide could contribute to development of Kaposi sarcoma by reactivation of latent human herpesvirus 8, permitted by immunosuppression induced by triptolide.

Abstract
Death receptor-mediated apoptosis is potently inhibited by viral FLIP (FLICE/caspase 8 inhibitory protein) through reduced activation of procaspase 8. In this study, we show that the human herpesvirus 8-encoded vFLIP retards cell proliferation. Overexpression of vFLIP caused cell cycle arrest, with an apparent decrease of cells in the S phase. The Id (inhibitor of DNA binding) proteins are considered as dominant negative regulators of differentiation pathways, but positive regulators of cellular proliferation. The mechanisms by which Id proteins promote the cell cycle are diverse, but appear to involve affecting the expression of cell cycle regulators. RT-PCR results demonstrated that the expression of vFLIP decreased the expression levels of Id2 and Id3 as well as cyclin E and cyclin A compared with the vFLIP-null cells. These indicate that vFLIP affects cell proliferation by decreasing the expression levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins.

Abstract
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). HHV-8 encodes an antiapoptotic viral Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein (vFLIP/K13). The antiapoptotic activity of vFLIP/K13 has been attributed to an inhibition of caspase 8 activation and more recently to its capability to induce the expression of antiapoptotic proteins via activation of NF-kappaB. Our study provides the first proteome-wide analysis of the effect of vFLIP/K13 on cellular-protein expression. Using comparative proteome analysis, we identified manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), a mitochondrial antioxidant and an important antiapoptotic enzyme, as the protein most strongly upregulated by vFLIP/K13 in endothelial cells. MnSOD expression was also upregulated in endothelial cells upon infection with HHV-8. Microarray analysis confirmed that MnSOD is also upregulated at the RNA level, though the differential expression at the RNA level was much lower (5.6-fold) than at the protein level (25.1-fold). The induction of MnSOD expression was dependent on vFLIP/K13-mediated activation of NF-kappaB, occurred in a cell-intrinsic manner, and was correlated with decreased intracellular superoxide accumulation and increased resistance of endothelial cells to superoxide-induced death. The upregulation of MnSOD expression by vFLIP/K13 may support the survival of HHV-8-infected cells in the inflammatory microenvironment in KS.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative condition that accounts for 6% of all malignancies in organ transplant patients. When we review the literature, the results of the studies comparing the different stages and the proliferative activity of the tumor are challenging. However, we found no previous study on Ki-67 protein expression in KS that correlates skin and organ lesions. In the current study, we investigated whether there is a correlation on the proliferative activity between skin and internal organ lesions in KS. Proliferative activity of 13 biopsy specimens of KS was assessed immunohistochemically using the monoclonal antibody MIB-1 (Ki-67). Mann-Whitney U test is used for statistical analysis and a P value < .05 was considered significant. Seven of 13 cases were skin and six were internal organ KS. For skin lesions, the mean MIB-1 proliferation index was 14.5%, and it was 13% for organ lesions. There was no significant association between skin and internal organ KS in regard to MIB-1 PI (P > .05). The findings suggested that the proliferative activity in KS does not differ in skin and organ lesions. On the other hand, it should be considered that the number of cases in our study was limited and further studies with a larger series are needed.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a multifunctional cytokine known to act as a growth factor for AIDS-KS cells. In addition to its mitogenic effects, we found that IL-1 induced the protection of KS cells from apoptotic death induced by serum deprivation in a dose-dependent manner. AIDS-KS cells as well as cells derived from iatrogenic and sporadic KS exhibited a similar response to IL-1, which stresses the key role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of KS regardless of its epidemiological form. Using both an immunohistochemical and an immunoblot approach, we found that IL-1 increased the expression of Bcl-2 and decreased that of Bax, while having no effect on the expression of Bclx(L), Fas and CD40. The effects of IL-1 were inhibited by IL-1ra, suggesting that imbalance between these two counter-acting cytokines may contribute to the altered accumulation of KS spindle cells. Our findings may provide a link between KS cell escape from apoptosis and the immune dysregulation known to be associated with KS.

Abstract
Whether Kaposi's sarcoma is a true neoplasm or a reactive endothelial cell outgrowth triggered by inflammatory cytokines remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the differential invasive properties of activated endothelial cells and Kaposi's sarcoma cells in a model of de-epidermized dermis, supplying the cells with matrix barriers similar to those found in vivo. Cells derived from early "patch-stage" and from late "nodular-stage" Kaposi's sarcoma lesions exhibited similar invasive properties, which indicates that cells with an invasive potential are present in the early stages of tumor development. Slow accumulation of the cells into the extracellular matrix, together with a low proliferation index and with expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, suggest that the progression of Kaposi's sarcoma may be related to escape from cell death rather than to increased proliferation. The Kaposi's sarcoma-Y1 cell line, which is tumorigenic in nude mice, also exhibited invasive properties. By contrast to the Kaposi's sarcoma-derived spindle cells, however, which were scattered between the collagen bundles, the Kaposi's sarcoma-Y1 cell population had a higher proliferation index and displayed a multilayer arrangement. Inflammatory cytokines and Kaposi's sarcoma cell supernatant could activate and stimulate the growth of human dermal microvascular endothelial cell, but could not induce their invasion in this model, showing that activated endothelial cells do not fit all the requirements to traverse the various barriers found in the dermal extracellular matrix. These results confer to Kaposi's sarcoma cells a tumor phenotype and suggest that the in vivo dominant endothelial cell population represents a reactive hyperplasia rather than the true tumor process.

Abstract
Iron is suspected to be involved in the induction and/or progression of various human tumors. More particularly, iron may be involved in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma, a tumor of probable vascular origin. This study was designed to investigate the effect of iron deprivation on Kaposi's sarcoma. The effects of iron chelators and iron deprivation associated with serum withdrawal were investigated on Kaposi's sarcoma-derived spindle cells, on a transformed Kaposi's sarcoma cell line (Kaposi's sarcoma Y-1) and on endothelial cells, which are the probable progenitors of Kaposi's sarcoma cells. Desferrioxamine and deferiprone, two chemically unrelated iron chelators, induced a time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of endothelial and Kaposi's sarcoma cell growth. The inhibition of cell growth was associated with a decrease in Ki-67 and in both stable and total proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression. Inhibition of the progression through the G1-phase of the cell cycle was further evidenced by decreased expression of cyclin D1 and of p34 cyclin-dependent kinase 4. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated desoxyuridinetriphosphate nick end labeling assay, flow cytometry with annexin-V-fluorescein and morphologic analysis indicated that iron chelation also induced a time- and concentration-dependent apoptosis. This apoptotic effect was prevented by the addition of exogenous iron. Induction of iron deprivation in the culture medium by serum withdrawal led to similar cell cycle effects, which, however, could only be partly reverted by the addition of exogenous iron. In conclusion, these results show that iron deprivation inhibits the growth and induces the apoptosis of Kaposi's sarcoma cells and of their putative endothelial precursors. This suggests that iron chelators may represent a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma.

Abstract
The involvement of a viral agent in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) points to antiviral agents as possible therapeutic and/or prophylactic options in the management of the disease. In the present study we investigated the antiproliferative effects of various chemotherapeutic agents, including acyclic nucleoside phosphonates, on the growth of KS-derived cells. Nested PCR amplification demonstrated that these cells do not contain human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences. The cytotoxicity of the chemotherapeutic compounds was less pronounced in KS cells than in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells, which are considered to be the normal counterpart of KS cells. Stimulation of KS cells with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and correction of the IC50 values by the doubling times revealed that the apparent chemotherapeutic resistance of KS cells could mainly be attributed to the long doubling times of these cells. bFGF-stimulated KS cells still exhibited no particular sensitivity to the acyclic nucleoside phosphonates whose activity extends to HHV-8, which is consistent with the absence of linear HHV-8 DNA synthesis in these cells. Our data suggest that neither anti-cancer agents nor antiviral agents such as the acyclic nucleoside phosphonates can discriminate efficiently between KS cells and normal endothelial cells.
