Human herpesvirus 8 in hematologic diseases Mikala G; Xie J; Berencsi G; Kiss C; Marton I; Domjan G; Valyi-Nagy IPathol Oncol Res 1999[]; 5 (1): 73-9Human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a new member of the g-herpesvirus family. It is an unusual herpesvirus in that it carries a large number of genes that encode oncoproteins or cell signaling proteins. In addition to being the causative agent of both HIV-associated and non-HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma this DNA tumor virus has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases. These include multiple myeloma (MM), Waldenstom's macroglobulinemia (WM), multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD), body cavity-based lymphoma (BCBL), and various other conditions such as sarcoidosis and pemphigus. While the causative role of the viral infection is fairly certain in the development of BCBL and multicentric Castleman's disease, HHV-8 may act through a different mechanism to induce plasma cell malignancies. It has been suggested though the finding is still controversial - that infection of bone marrow stromal dendritic cells by HHV-8 might be a key factor in the etiology and pathogenesis of monoclonal gammopathies. The aim of this review is to provide a short introduction into the tumorigenic potential of HHV-8 as well as to detail the available data and possible mechanisms on the involvement of this virus in different hematologic diseases.|Bone Marrow/virology[MESH]|Castleman Disease/virology[MESH]|Dendritic Cells/virology[MESH]|Hematologic Diseases/*virology[MESH]|Hematologic Neoplasms/virology[MESH]|Herpesviridae Infections/complications/*virology[MESH]|Herpesvirus 8, Human/genetics/*isolation & purification/pathogenicity[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lymphoma, AIDS-Related/virology[MESH]|Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin/virology[MESH]|Multiple Myeloma/virology[MESH]|Oncogenes[MESH]|Plasma Cells/pathology[MESH]|Sarcoma, Kaposi/etiology/virology[MESH]|Stromal Cells/virology[MESH]|Tumor Virus Infections/complications/*virology[MESH]|Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia/virology[MESH] |
