Abstract
(1) Background: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been recognized as a flavonoid showing antiviral activity against various types of DNA and RNA viruses. In this work, we tested if EGCG-modified silver nanoparticles (EGCG-AgNPs) can become novel microbicides with additional adjuvant properties to treat herpes infections. (2) Methods: The anti-HSV and cytotoxic activities of EGCG-AgNPs were tested in human HaCaT and VK-2-E6/E7 keratinocytes. HSV-1/2 titers and immune responses after treatment with EGCG-AgNPs were tested in murine models of intranasal HSV-1 infection and genital HSV-2 infection. (3) Results: EGCG-AgNPs inhibited attachment and entry of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in human HaCaT and VK-2-E6/E7 keratinocytes much better than EGCG at the same concentration. Infected mice treated intranasally (HSV-1) or intravaginally (HSV-2) with EGCG-AgNPs showed lower virus titers in comparison to treatment with EGCG alone. After EGCG-AgNPs treatment, mucosal tissues showed a significant infiltration in dendritic cells and monocytes in comparison to NaCl-treated group, followed by significantly better infiltration of CD8+ T cells, NK cells and increased expression of IFN-α, IFN-γ, CXCL9 and CXCL10. (4) Conclusions: Our findings show that EGCG-AgNPs can become an effective novel antiviral microbicide with adjuvant properties to be applied upon the mucosal tissues.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles exhibit broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The antiviral activity of nanoparticles results from the multivalent interactions of nanoparticles with viral surface components, which result from the nanometer size of the material and the presence of functional compounds adsorbed on the nanomaterial surface. A critical step in the virus infection process is docking and entry of the virus into the host cell. This stage of the infection can be influenced by functional nanomaterials that exhibit high affinity to the virus surface and hence can disrupt the infection process. The affinity of the virus to the nanomaterial surface can be tuned by the specific surface functionalization of the nanomaterial. The main purpose of this work was to determine the influence of the ligand type present on nanomaterial on the antiviral properties against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2. We investigated the metallic nanoparticles (gold and silver) with different sizes (5 nm and 30 nm), coated either with polyphenol (tannic acid) or sulfonates (ligands with terminated sulfonate groups). We found that the antiviral activity of nano-conjugates depends significantly on the ligand type present on the nanoparticle surface.

Abstract
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein with multiple functions in the body. Its activity against a broad spectrum of both DNA and RNA viruses as well as the ability to modulate immune responses have made it of interest in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The mechanisms of its antiviral activity include direct binding to the viruses or its receptors or the upregulation of antiviral responses by the immune system. Recently, much effort has been devoted to the use of nanotechnology in the development of new antivirals. In this review, we focus on describing the antiviral mechanisms of lactoferrin and the possible use of nanotechnology to construct safe and effective new antiviral drugs.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is defined as an inflammatory state within the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia conprise the resident tissue macrophages of the neuronal tissue. Upon viral infection of the CNS, microglia become activated and start to produce inflammatory mediators important for clearance of the virus, but an excessive neuroinflammation can harm nearby neuronal cells. Herpesviruses express several molecular mechanisms, which can modulate apoptosis of infected neurons, astrocytes and microglia but also divert immune response initiated by the infected cells. In this review we also describe the link between virus-related neuroinflammation, and development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor, is a novel immunosuppressive drug for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) may cause encephalitis during primary infection or following reactivation from a latent state. Long-term tofacitinib treatment may increase the risk of this life-threatening condition. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tofacitinib on HSV-1 primary infection using a mouse model. Mice pretreated with tofacitinib were intranasally infected with a clinical strain of HSV-1 and monitored for infection severity and antiviral response. Tofacitinib treatment of HSV-1 primary infection resulted in increased viral loads and worsened clinical outcome. Furthermore, tofacitinib promoted M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype of microglia and infiltrating monocytes, as well as inhibited production of inflammatory and antiviral cytokines by macrophages in vitro. Our findings show that treatment with tofacitinib increases severity of herpes simplex encephalitis in mice, by impairing antiviral response induced by monocytes and microglia.

Abstract
(1) Background: Lactoferrin has been recognized as a potent inhibitor of human herpetic viruses, such as herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2). In this work, we tested if silver and gold nanoparticles modified with lactoferrin (LF-Ag/AuNPs) can become novel microbicides with additional adjuvant properties to treat genital herpes infection. (2) Methods: The antiviral and cytotoxic activities of LF-Ag/AuNPs were tested in human skin HaCaT and vaginal VK-2-E6/E7 keratinocytes. Viral titers and immune responses after treatment with LF-Ag/AuNPs were tested in murine vaginal HSV-2 infection. (3) Results: LF-Ag/AuNPs inhibited attachment and entry of HSV-2 in human keratinocytes much better than lactoferrin. Furthermore, pretreatment with LF-AgNPs led to protection from infection. Infected mice treated intravaginally with LF-Ag/AuNPs showed lower virus titers in the vaginal tissues and spinal cords in comparison to treatment with lactoferrin. Following treatment, vaginal tissues showed a significant increase in CD8+/granzyme B + T cells, NK cells and dendritic cells in comparison to NaCl-treated group. LF-Ag/AuNPs-treated animals also showed significantly better expression of IFN-γ, CXCL9, CXCL10, and IL-1β in the vaginal tissues. (4) Conclusions: Our findings show that LF-Ag/AuNPs could become effective novel antiviral microbicides with immune-stimulant properties to be applied upon the mucosal tissues.

Abstract
The Fas/FasL pathway plays a key role in immune homeostasis and immune surveillance. In the central nervous system (CNS) Fas/FasL is involved in axonal outgrowth and adult neurogenesis. However, little is known about the role of the Fas/FasL pathway in herpes encephalitis. In this study, we used a neuropathogenic clinical strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) to explore infection-induced inflammation and immune responses in the mouse brain and the role of Fas/FasL in antiviral CNS immunity. HSV-1 CNS infection induced the infiltration of Fas- FasL-bearing monocytes and T cells in the brain and also to an up-regulation of Fas and FasL expression on resident astrocytes and microglia within infected sites. Upon infection, Fas- and FasL-deficient mice (lpr and gld) were partially protected from encephalitis with a decreased morbidity and mortality compared to WT mice. Fas/FasL deficiency promoted cell-mediated immunity within the CNS. Fas receptor stimulation abrogated HSV-1 induced activation and inflammatory reactions in microglia from WT mice, while lack of Fas or FasL led to a more pronounced activation of monocytes and microglia and also to an enhanced differentiation of these cells into a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Furthermore, the specific immune system was more efficient in Fas- and FasL-deficient mice with significantly higher numbers of infiltrating HSV-1-specific cytotoxic T cells in the brain. Our data indicate that the Fas/FasL pathway leads to excessive neuroinflammation during HSV-1 infection, which is associated with a diminished anti-viral response and an excessive neuroinflammation.

Abstract
The contribution of virus components to liberation of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) progeny virions from the surface of infected cells is poorly understood. We report that the HSV-2 mutant deficient in the expression of a mucin-like membrane-associated glycoprotein G (mgG) exhibited defect in the release of progeny virions from infected cells manifested by ~2 orders of magnitude decreased amount of infectious virus in a culture medium as compared to native HSV-2. Electron microscopy revealed that the mgG deficient virions were produced in infected cells and present at the cell surface. These virions could be forcibly liberated to a nearly native HSV-2 level by the treatment of cells with glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-mimicking oligosaccharides. Comparative assessment of the interaction of mutant and native virions with surface-immobilized chondroitin sulfate GAG chains revealed that while the mutant virions associated with GAGs ~fourfold more extensively, the lateral mobility of bound virions was much poorer than that of native virions. These data indicate that the mgG of HSV-2 balances the virus interaction with GAG chains, a feature critical to prevent trapping of the progeny virions at the surface of infected cells.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a neurotropic virus that can cause meningitis, an inflammation of the meninges in the central nervous system. T cells are key players in viral clearance, and these cells migrate from peripheral blood into the central nervous system upon infection. Several factors contribute to T cell migration, including the expression of chemokines in the inflamed tissue that attract T cells through their expression of chemokine receptors. Here we investigated CD8+ T cell profile in the spinal cord in a mouse model of herpes simplex virus type 2 neuroinflammation. Mice were infected with HSV-2 and sacrificed when showing signs of neuroinflammation. Cells and/or tissue from spinal cord, spleen, and blood were analyzed for expression of activation markers, chemokine receptors, and chemokines. High numbers of CD8+ T cells were present in the spinal cord following genital HSV-2-infection. CD8+ T cells were highly activated and HSV-2 glycoprotein B -specific effector cells, some of which showed signs of recent degranulation. They also expressed high levels of many chemokine receptors, in particular CCR2, CCR4, CCR5, and CXCR3. Investigating corresponding receptor ligands in spinal cord tissue revealed markedly increased expression of the cognate ligands CCL2, CCL5, CCL8, CCL12, and CXCL10. This study shows that during herpesvirus neuroinflammation anti-viral CD8+ T cells accumulate in the CNS. CD8+ T cells in the CNS also express chemotactic receptors cognate to the chemotactic gradients in the spinal cord. This indicates that anti-viral CD8+ T cells may migrate to infected areas in the spinal cord during herpesvirus neuroinflammation in response to chemotactic gradients.

Abstract
Background Polyphenols possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and have been used in the treatment of skin wounds and burns. We previously showed that tannic acid-modified AgNPs sized >26 nm promote wound healing, while tannic acid-modified AgNPs sized 13 nm can elicit strong local inflammatory response. In this study, we tested bimetallic Au@AgNPs sized 30 nm modified with selected flavonoid and non-flavonoid compounds for wound healing applications. Methods Bimetallic Au@AgNPs were obtained by growing an Ag layer on AuNPs and further modified with selected polyphenols. After toxicity tests and in vitro scratch assay in HaCaT cells, modified lymph node assay as well as the mouse splint wound model were further used to access the wound healing potential of selected non-toxic modifications. Results Tannic acid, gallic acid, polydatin, resveratrol, catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate and procyanidin B2 used to modify Au@AgNPs exhibited good toxicological profiles in HaCaT cells. Au@AgNPs modified with 15 μM tannic acid, 200 μM resveratrol, 200 μM epicatechin gallate, 1000 μM gallic acid and 200 μM procyanidin B2 induced wound healing in vivo and did not lead to the local irritation or inflammation. Tannic acid-modified Au@AgNPs induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) - like re-epithelialization, while other polyphenol modifications of Au@AgNPs acted through proliferation and wound closure. Conclusion Bimetallic Au@AgNPs can be used as a basis for modification with selected polyphenols for topical uses. In addition, we have demonstrated that particular polyphenols used to modify bimetallic nanoparticles may show different effects upon different stages of wound healing.

Abstract
The overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been documented in many types of cancer occurring in humans and animals. Increasing evidences have shown that the overexpression of COX-2 and increased production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) correlate with poor prognosis in human solid tumours and hematological malignancies. Both, in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that increased proliferation of cancer cells as well as an impairment of anti-tumour immunity are influenced by the overexpression of this enzyme. In leukemia and lymphoma, an increased activity of COX-2 and subsequent increase in prostaglandins (PGs) concentration allow cancer cells to evade immune response and contribute to metastases. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumour microenvironment, suppression of innate and adaptive immunity depends on COX-2/PGE22 axis activity which increases in hematological malignancies. Cyclooxygenases inhibitors block the formation of PGs, consequently inhibiting angiogenesis, and in some malignancies they decrease cancer cells proliferation and tumour invasiveness. They also increase apoptosis of CSCs and cancer cells, decrease their drug resistance as well as enhance the host immune response. Therefore COX-2/PGE2 axis suppressors: selective COX-2 inhibitors or PG receptors antagonists have been considered as promising anticancer drugs. In comparative oncology dogs are increasingly used as a large animal model because they share the same environmental conditions with people and are exposed to the same environmental factors and also due to their relatively short life span. In dogs, spontaneously occurring non-Hodgkin lymphomas and leukemias have a large number of genetic and morphological features that are similar to those of humans' corresponding cancers. This, additionally makes the species a useful model for the study of new therapeutic strategies in human oncology. While the influence of COX-2 activity and PGE2 receptors have been evaluated extensively in human cancer, their role in veterinary oncology still needs to be elucidated.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are promising new antimicrobial agents against a wide range of skin and mucosal pathogens. However, their interaction with the immune system is currently not fully understood. Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial during development of T cell-specific responses against bacterial and viral pathogens. We have previously shown that tannic acid-modified silver nanoparticles (TA-AgNPs) consist of a promising microbicide against HSV-2. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of TA-AgNPs or TA-AuNPs of similar sizes (TA-Ag/AuNPs) to induce DCs maturation and activation in the presence of HSV-2 antigens when used at non-toxic doses. First, we used JAWS II DC line to test toxicity, ultrastructure as well as activation markers (MHC I and II, CD40, CD80, CD86, PD-L1) and cytokine production in the presence of TA-Ag/AuNPs. Preparations of HSV-2 treated with nanoparticles (TA-Ag/AuNPs-HSV-2) were further used to investigate HSV-2 antigen uptake, activation markers, TLR9 expression, and cytokine production. Additionally, we accessed proliferation and activation of HSV-2-specific T cells by DCs treated with TA-AgNP/AuNPs-HSV-2. We found that both TA-AgNPs and TA-AuNPs were efficiently internalized by DCs and induced activated ultrastructure. Although TA-AgNPs were more toxic than TA-AuNPs in corresponding sizes, they were also more potent stimulators of DCs maturation and TLR9 expression. TA-Ag/AuNPs-HSV-2 helped to overcome inhibition of DCs maturation by live or inactivated virus through up-regulation of MHC II and CD86 and down-regulation of CD80 expression. Down-regulation of CD40 expression in HSV-2-infected DCs was reversed when HSV-2 was treated with TA-NPs sized >30 nm. On the other hand, small-sized TA-AgNPs helped to better internalize HSV-2 antigens. HSV-2 treated with both types of NPs stimulated activation of JAWS II and memory CD8+ T cells, while TA-AgNPs treatment induced IFN-γ producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Our study shows that TA-AgNPs or TA-AuNPs are good activators of DCs, albeit their final effect upon maturation and activation may be metal and size dependent. We conclude that TA-Ag/AuNPs consist of a novel class of nano-adjuvants, which can help to overcome virus-induced suppression of DCs activation.

Abstract
Introduction Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been shown to promote wound healing and to exhibit antimicrobial properties against a broad range of bacteria. In our previous study, we prepared tannic acid (TA)-modified AgNPs showing a good toxicological profile and immunomodulatory properties useful for potential dermal applications. Methods In this study, in vitro scratch assay, antimicrobial tests, modified lymph node assay as well as a mouse splint wound model were used to access the wound healing potential of TA-modified and unmodified AgNPs. Results TA-modified but not unmodified AgNPs exhibited effective antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and stimulated migration of keratinocytes in vitro. The tests using the mouse splint wound model showed that TA-modified 33 and 46 nm AgNPs promoted better wound closure, epithelialization, angiogenesis and formation of the granulation tissue. Additionally, AgNPs elicited expression of VEGF-α, PDGF-β and TGF-β1 cytokines involved in wound healing more efficiently in comparison to control and TA-treated wounds. However, both the lymph node assay and the wound model showed that TA-modified AgNPs sized 13 nm can elicit strong inflammatory response not only during wound healing but also when applied to the damaged skin. Conclusion TA-modified AgNPs sized >26 nm promote wound healing better than TA-modified or unmodified AgNPs. These findings suggest that TA-modified AgNPs sized >26 nm may have a promising application in wound management.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are effector cells linking the innate immune system with the adaptive immune response. Many viruses eliminate DCs to prevent host response, induce immunosuppression and to maintain chronic infection. In this study, we examined apoptotic response of dendritic cells during in vitro and in vivo infection with ectromelia virus (ECTV), the causative agent of mousepox. ECTV-infected bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs) from BALB/c mice underwent apoptosis through mitochondrial pathway at 48 h post infection, up-regulated FasL and decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic Fas. Similar pattern of Bcl-2, Fas and FasL expression was observed for DCs early during in vivo infection of BALB/c mice. Both BMDCs and DCs from BALB/c mice showed no maturation upon ECTV infection. We conclude that ECTV-infected DCs from BALB/c mouse strain help the virus to spread and to maintain infection.

Abstract
The interaction between silver nanoparticles and herpesviruses is attracting great interest due to their antiviral activity and possibility to use as microbicides for oral and anogenital herpes. In this work, we demonstrate that tannic acid modified silver nanoparticles sized 13 nm, 33 nm and 46 nm are capable of reducing HSV-2 infectivity both in vitro and in vivo. The antiviral activity of tannic acid modified silver nanoparticles was size-related, required direct interaction and blocked virus attachment, penetration and further spread. All tested tannic acid modified silver nanoparticles reduced both infection and inflammatory reaction in the mouse model of HSV-2 infection when used at infection or for a post-infection treatment. Smaller-sized nanoparticles induced production of cytokines and chemokines important for anti-viral response. The corresponding control buffers with tannic acid showed inferior antiviral effects in vitro and were ineffective in blocking in vivo infection. Our results show that tannic acid modified silver nanoparticles are good candidates for microbicides used in treatment of herpesvirus infections.

Abstract
Fas receptor-Fas ligand (FasL) signaling is involved in apoptosis of virus-infected cells but increasing evidence accumulates on Fas receptor as a mediator of apoptosis-independent processes such as induction of activating and pro-inflammatory signals. In this study, we examined the role of Fas/FasL pathway in regulation of anti-viral response to genital HSV-2 infection using a murine model of HSV-2 infection applied to C57BL6/J, B6. MRL-Faslpr/J and B6Smn.C3-Faslgld/J mice. HSV-2 infection of Fas- and FasL-deficient mice led to decreased migration of IFN-γ expressing NK cells and CD4+ T cells, but not of γδ T cells, into the vaginal tissue. The vaginal tissues of HSV-2 infected Fas- and FasL-deficient mice showed increased production of IL-10, followed by low expression of the early CD69 activation marker on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and increased numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Experiments in co-cultures of CD4+ T cells and bone marrow derived dendritic cells showed that lack of bilateral Fas-FasL signaling led to expansion of Tregs and increased production of IL-10 and TGF-β1. Our results demonstrate that Fas/FasL can regulate development of tolerogenic dendritic cells and expansion of Tregs early during HSV-2 infection, which further influences effective anti-viral response.

Abstract
Hydrolyzable tannins are known to exhibit diverse biological effects, which can be used in combination with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this study, we tested toxic and inflammatory properties of tannic-acid modified 13, 33, 46 nm and unmodified 10-65 nm AgNPs using murine 291.03C keratinocyte and RAW 264.7 monocyte cell lines. Both cell lines exposed for 24h to 1-10 μg/ml of 13 nm, 33 nm, 46 nm and unmodified AgNPs showed dose-dependent toxicity and decreased cell proliferation. Only small-sized AgNPs induced production of ROS by monocytes, but not keratinocytes. Monocytes internalized large aggregates of 33, 46 nm and 10-65 nm AgNPs in cytoplasmic vacuoles, whereas keratinocytes accumulated less particles. AgNPs of 13 nm were localized ubiquitously within both cell types. The tested AgNPs strongly down-regulated production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) by monocytes, whereas keratinocytes exposed to AgNPs showed an opposite effect. Unmodified but not tannic acid-modified AgNPs increased production of the pro-inflammatory MCP-1 by monocytes and keratinocytes. In summary, low inflammatory potential and lack of ROS production by tannic-acid modified AgNPs sized above 30 nm suggests that tannic acid modification of large silver nanoparticles may help to increase AgNPs biosafety.

Abstract
Newborn higher vertebrates are largely immuno-incompetent and generally survive infections--including poxviruses--by maternal antibody protection. Here, we show that mice survived epidemics as adults only if exposed to lethal orthopoxvirus infections during infancy under the umbrella of maternal protective antibodies. This implies that both the absence of exposure to infection during early infancy or of effective vaccination renders the population highly susceptible to new or old re-emerging pathogens.

Abstract
We describe here a contribution of virus-induced actin tails and filopodia in transmission of Ectromelia virus (ECTV) infection in permissive cells detected by the immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. Immunoblot analysis revealed profoundly decreased beta-actin levels during ECTV replicative cycle in the infected cells 24 hrs post infection (p.i.). These results provided a basis for the further analysis of ECTV motion in the infected cells as well as for impact of ECTV infection on the cytoskeletal proteins.

Abstract
Mastitis remains a major cause of economic losses in dairy herds. It is believed, that the enhancement of natural defense mechanisms in mammary gland may be helpful in the treatment of bovine mastitis. Our study was designed to assess the apoptosis of leukocytes isolated from bovine milk during subclinical staphylococcal mastitis. Milk samples were collected from cows naturally infected with one pathogen--Staphylococcus aureus and from animals with mastitis caused by several pathogens, including S. aureus. It has been determined that the rate of apoptosis was lower in mastitic milk, as compared with control samples, although varied significantly between groups. High percentage of apoptotic cells was detected in milk with high counts of pathogenic bacteria. In all groups the rate of apoptosis was dependent on the bacterial load, although various correlations were identified. Thus, it is postulated, that the rate of apoptosis of somatic cells in mastitic milk is related to the etiology of infection and is determined by the bacterial load.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Elevated levels of interleukin (IL)-7 are present in the blood of HIV-positive patients and it is known that IL-7 receptor (IL-7R)alpha expression decreases on T cells during HIV infection. The subset(s) of T cells with low IL-7Ralpha and the consequence of low IL-7Ralpha expression for T-cell survival are poorly characterized. DESIGN The frequency of IL-7Ralpha-negative T cells in HIV-positive patients was studied in relation to CD4 T-cell counts, IL-7 concentration and survival in culture. We analysed IL-7Ralpha expression in different T-cell populations and in relation to Bcl-2 expression. METHODS Specimens from 38 HIV-1 patients and 17 controls were examined. IL-7Ralpha and Bcl-2 expression in different T-cell populations was studied by flow cytometry. The influence of IL-7Ralpha expression on T-cell survival was studied by culturing T cells in the presence of IL-7. RESULTS Down-regulation of IL-7Ralpha on T cells correlated with depletion of CD4 T cells (P < 0.001) and also with increased concentration of serum IL-7 (P < 0.05). The decreased IL-7Ralpha expression was associated with low Bcl-2 expression and with the reduced survival capacity of T cells in the presence of IL-7 in vitro. Particularly, T cells with memory phenotype showed a decreased IL-7Ralpha expression in association with CD28 down-regulation. CONCLUSIONS The positive effects of IL-7 on survival and homeostatic proliferation of T cells might be severely impaired in HIV-infected individuals due to IL-7Ralpha down-regulation. Differentiation towards a CD28-negative memory phenotype in response to chronic activation may lead to an overall decrease of IL-7 mediated survival within the peripheral T-cell pool.

Abstract
BALB/c mice infected with the Moscow strain of Ectromelia virus (ECTV-MOS) show a large number of apoptotic cells, and an influx of lymphoid cells in the epithelium and substantia propria of conjunctivae, respectively. The presence of ECTV-MOS antigens in the epithelium of conjunctivae significantly upregulates Fas in the epithelial layer and FasL in the suprabasal layer of conjunctiva. Inhibition of FasL with blocking antibodies in cultures of conjunctival cells isolated from ECTV-MOS-infected BALB/c mice showed that the Fas/FasL pathway is important in apoptosis of ECTV-MOS-infected cells. The results also showed that the presence of cytokines, in particular interferon (IFN)-γ, upregulated expression of Fas. Interleukin (IL) 2, 4, 10 and IFN-γ were produced at the peak of conjunctivitis (at day 15 of infection) with a predominance of IFN-γ and a small, but significant, production of IL4 and IL10 compared with non-infected animals. These results suggest that not only is Fas/FasL expression in conjunctiva involved in elimination of migrating Fas+ cells but also plays an important role in the turnover of conjunctival epithelium and thus may be crucial for ECTV spreading to the surrounding environment.

Abstract
Ectromelia virus (EV), which causes mousepox, is a member of the orthopoxviruses that are defined as being able to suppress apoptosis. Caspase-3 is one of the key effector proteases which regulates the apoptotic cascade and which is responsible for DNA fragmentation observed during apoptosis. It is well known that viruses, especially poxviruses, can inhibit caspase activity. Here, we report that EV can regulate apoptosis in vitro, suppressing the activity of caspases recognizing the DEVD (Asp-Glu-Val-Asp) motif (caspase-3 and -7) before successful virus replication is completed. Caspase-3 activity measurement showed that an increase in caspase-3 activity preceded the peak of DNA fragmentation demonstrated by TUNEL staining of L929 and RK-13 cells. By using specific caspase inhibitors (Ac-DEVD-CHO, Ac-IETD-CHO and zVAD-fmk), we showed that caspase-3 and -7 (DEVDases) are major effector caspases during EV-induced apoptosis in permissive L929 and RK-13 cell cultures. Apoptosis in vivo seems to play an important role during viraemia as well as during the clearance of EV from genetically susceptible BALB/c (H-2(d)) mice. However, as shown by measurement of caspase-3 activity, caspase-3 protein detection and M30-antibody staining, both DEVDases seem to play an important role during EV clearance from draining lymph nodes and conjunctivae at 15 days p.i. up to 20 days p.i., whereas in the liver and spleen DNA fragmentation coexisted with viral multiplication and secondary viraemia. Apoptosis was DEVDase dependent only in the liver, while spleen DNA fragmentation observed between 5 and 10 days p.i. was caspase independent. Therefore, we conclude that DEVDase- (caspase-3- and caspase-7-) dependent apoptosis is an important mechanism regulating the resolution of EV infection.

Abstract
Eighty to hundred percent of patients positive for human immunodefficiency viruses 1 or 2 (HIV) may develop opportunistic viral infections. According to the National Institute of Health data, only in the USA the HIV patients are positive also for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in 25-40%, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in 10%, herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8, KSHV, HHV-8) in 20%. HIV and herpesviruses express numerous different proteins that are able to influence interactions between the host and virus. One of the most interesting regulatory phenomenon is apoptosis which could play a significant role during both specific and non-specific antiviral response and latency. Apoptosis is an ordered cascade of precisely regulated enzymatic reactions which may be modulated or even controlled by viruses. Dramatic changes which occur during infection and which are exerted by HIV and certain herpesviruses on the mechanism of apoptosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
