A morphological change induced by syn- herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), polykaryocyte formation, was enhanced by treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) in A431 cells. TPA treatment decreased the number of stress fibers, but led to the development of spike-like filopodia and actin-containing long projections. Similar reorganization of actin filaments was observed in HSV-1-induced polykaryocytes. The actin filament-disrupting drug cytochalasin D, but not the microtubule-disrupting drug nocodazole, inhibited the effect of TPA on polykaryocyte formation, indicating that the actin microfilament system plays a key role in this event. HSV-1 glycoprotein D (gD) was present in the cytoplasm of HSV-1-infected cells and gD gene-transfected cells; its expression became prominent at long cell projections in the presence of TPA. These findings suggest that the reorganization of actin filaments and cell motility are associated with the enhancing effect of TPA on HSV-1-induced polykaryocyte formation. 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel

Different forms of HSV-1 VP22a within purified virion and infected cells.

Utilizing the monoclonal antibody MCA406, our experimental data suggest that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) protein, VP22a, is present in the purified virus in a different form from that present within infected cells, namely the virion and infected-cell form, respectively. It seems reasonable to suggest that two different forms of VP22a are synthesized during the HSV-1 productive cycle. Using varying quantities of reducing agents, both inter- and intramolecular disulfide linkages were demonstrated in this protein family. Moreover, the VP22a-virion form could not be detected under nonreducing conditions by monoclonal antibody, even in the presence of proteolysis inhibitors, i.e. aprotinin, phenyl-methane-sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and soybean trypsin inhibitor. Varying temperature had little effect on the breakdown of VP22a disulfide bonds. A higher molecular-weight band, present in the nonreduced gel tracks, clearly indicates the presence of intermolecular disulfide bonds. Similarly, the appearance of bands of lower apparent molecular weight in the nonreduced tracks suggests the presence of intramolecular disulfide bonding. The VP22a infected-cell form may be modified to the virion form during the capsid-assembly process, prior to full capsid formation.

BACKGROUND: The major emphasis on the safety of viral vectors for gene delivery has led to the generally accepted approach of disabling their ability to replicate and thus their potential capacity to spread throughout a tumor by consecutive rounds of infection and lysing neighboring cells. METHODS: In this study we evaluated three herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) carrying replication-competent adenoviral vectors with and without the Ad5 E1B 55-kDa gene, wild-type adenovirus type 5 (Ad5wt), and a prototypical replication-deficient adenovirus expressing HSV-tk (Ad.TK) for their cytoreductive effects in a peritoneal carcinomatosis model from human HT-29 colon cancer cells in nude mice. RESULTS: The survival of nude mice treated with the replication-defective adenoviral vector Ad.TK was enhanced when followed by GCV. In contrast, administration of GCV diminished the anti-tumor efficacy of the replication-competent HSV-tk expressing vectors. However, the intrinsic oncolytic effect of all replication-competent viruses was superior to that of Ad.TK+GCV. Furthermore, the oncolysis of the E1B 55-kDa-positive viruses was significantly greater than that of the E1B 55-kDa-deleted vector. CONCLUSIONS: The more efficient diffusion of viral particles in the peritoneal cavity, when compared to the microenvironment of solid tumors and the virostatic effects of GCV, most likely antagonized the anticipated enhanced cytotoxicity of the replication-competent vectors from the use of its gene directed enzyme prodrug system. Nevertheless, in a clinical setting, the HSV-tk/GCV system allows efficient termination of viral replication in the case of a runaway infection. The results of this study warrant further evaluation of controllable viral replication as a treatment modality for cancer, especially in combination with conventional therapies (e.g. chemotherapy).

BACKGROUND: This study investigates elements of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) which influence transgene expression in tetracycline-regulated expression systems. METHODS: Different HSV-1 mutants were used to infect Vero cells that had been transfected with plasmids containing the luciferase gene under the control of tet-off or tet-on tetracycline-regulation systems. RESULTS: The baseline level of luciferase expression was elevated after infection with HSV-1 mutants lacking one or more immediate early genes encoding transactivating factors: ICP27, ICP4 and ICP0. With the tet-off system, not only was baseline expression elevated, but there was a complete loss of induction upon removal of tet when this regulatory system was brought into the cell by infection with helper virus-free amplicon vectors. Elevation of luciferase expression was also observed upon infection with the same HSV-1 mutants following transfection with a plasmid containing only a CMV minimal promoter driving luciferase (pUHC13-3). Only one HSV mutant (14Hdelta3), which bears a disruption in the transactivation domain of VP16 and is deleted for both ICP4 genes, did not increase baseline luciferase expression after transfection of pUHC13-3. The disregulating effects were dependent on virus dose and were not influenced by treatment with interferon (IFN)-alpha, which suppresses viral gene expression. Additional assays involving cotransfection of pUHC13-3 with a plasmid encoding of the HSV-1 transactivating factor ICP4 revealed that ICP4 was the most potent inducer of gene expression from the tetO/CMV minimal promoter. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that proteins encoded in the HSV-1 genome, especially the transactivating immediate early gene products (ICP4, ICP27 and ICP0) and the VP16 tegument protein can activate the tetO/ minimal CMV promoter and thereby interfere with the integrity of tetracycline-regulated transgene expression.

ICP27 interacts with the RNA export factor Aly/REF to direct herpes simplex virus type 1 intronless mRNAs to the TAP export pathway.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) protein ICP27 facilitates the export of viral intronless mRNAs. ICP27 shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm, which has been shown to require a leucine-rich nuclear export sequence (NES). ICP27 export was reported to be sensitive to the CRM1 inhibitor leptomycin B (LMB) in HSV-1-infected cells but not in Xenopus oocytes, where ICP27 interacts with the export factor Aly/REF to access the TAP export pathway. Here, we show that ICP27 interacts with Aly/REF in HSV-1-infected mammalian cells and that Aly/REF stimulates export of viral intronless RNAs but does not cross-link to these RNAs. During infection, Aly/REF was no longer associated with splicing factor SC35 but moved into structures that colocalized with ICP27, suggesting that ICP27 recruits Aly/REF from spliceosomes to viral intronless RNAs. Further, ICP27 was found to interact in vivo with TAP but not with CRM1. In vitro export assays showed that ICP27 export was not sensitive to LMB but was blocked by a dominant-negative TAP deletion mutant lacking the nucleoporin interaction domain. These data suggest that ICP27 uses the TAP pathway to export viral RNAs. Interestingly, the leucine-rich N-terminal sequence was required for efficient export, even though ICP27 export was LMB insensitive. Thus, this region is required for efficient ICP27 export but does not function as a CRM1-dependent NES.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
