Inhibition of the NF-κB Pathway by Varicella-Zoster Virus In Vitro and in Human Epidermal Cells In Vivo
12 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes varicella and herpes zoster. Using human cellular DNA microarrays, we found that many nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB)-responsive genes were down-regulated in VZV-infected fibroblasts, suggesting that VZV infection inhibited the NF-kappaB pathway. The activation of this pathway causes a cellular antiviral response, including the production of...
