Neuronal miR-138 represses HSV-2 lytic infection by regulating viral and host genes with mechanistic differences compared to HSV-1
2022-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) establishes latent infection in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons after productive (lytic) infection in peripheral tissues. A neuron-specific microRNA, miR-138, favors HSV-1 latency by repressing viral ICP0 , and host Oct-1 and Foxc1 genes, yet the role of miR-138 in HSV-2 infection was unknown. The ICP0 mRNAs of HSV-1, HSV-2 and chimpanzee herpesvirus each have one to two canoni...
