Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer and major viruses related to carcinogenesis in various malignant diseases such as cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, anal cancer, and head and neck cancer. Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent female cancer in the world and the fourth in Korea. Prophylactic HPV vaccines in widespread use include the used in South Korea to prevent cervical cancer are bivalent (2-valent HPV vaccine; Cervarix), quadrivalent (4-valent HPV vaccine; Gardasil), and nonavalent (9-valent HPV vaccine; Gardasil9). Since HPV vaccines the first approval in 2006, 115 countries have include HPV vaccines in their national immunization programs, that its preventive effect is as much as 70%, and that the incidence of high-risk types of HPV has gradually decreased. According to HPV cohort studies in Korea, about 26% of adult women have an HPV vaccination history and show a low incidence of HPV-16/18 genotypes compared to unvaccinated women. In the countries that National Immunization Programs for HPV vaccine were conducted earlier than in Korea, the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of HPV vaccines have been reported. Therefore, it is considered that basic research including an analysis of the effectiveness of HPV vaccines for policy decisions related to the expanding the HPV vaccine coverage and introducing of new vaccine in the future.","PeriodicalId":39739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology and Virology","volume":"46 1","pages":"158-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70701084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like other alphaviruses, the MAYV E1 and E2 envelope glycoproteins are major viral surface antigens that play a key role in host recognition and infection. Here, we report expression and purification methods for recombinant MAYV E1 (rE1) and rE2 using a baculovirus system. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) revealed that rE1 and rE2 were antigenic and reacted with human anti–MAYV IgG and IgM. Cross-reactivity was also confirmed with human anti-Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) IgG and IgM. Furthermore, we developed an immunochromatographic strip test (IST) with rE2 to diagnose MAYV infection. Thus, purified rE2 may be valuable tool for rapidly diagnosing MAYV infection. and serological diagnosis using hemagglutination inhibition tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA); however, these methods are unresponsive for a great number of infectious samples and live virus analysis may require biosafety laboratories. Furthermore, due to the antigenic similarity of MAYV and CHIKV, there is an acute need to develop more specific and precise methods for diagnosing MAYV infection (9). The MAYV genome is a 12kbp long single-stranded RNA containing two open reading frames (ORFs). It encodes four non-structural proteins (nsP1, nsP2, nsP3, and nsP4) and five structural proteins (C, E3, E2, 6K, and E1). The structural envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 are imbedded in the envelope on the viral surface. E1 mediates the fusion of the virus with the host cell, while E2 is mainly involved in attaching viruses to host cells (10). As for alphaviruses, E1 and E2 are targets of the anti-MAYV antibody response; therefore, E1 and E2 would be useful targets for immunodiagnostic analysis. In this study, we explain the generation of soluble MAYV E1 and E2 using a baculovirus/insect expression system. Recombinant envelope proteins E1 (rE1) and rE2 were successfully expressed and purified in soluble forms, with rE2 better expressed and more stable than rE. ELISA revealed that rE1 and rE2 were antigenic and reactive for specifically detecting human anti–MAYV IgG or IgM. Cross-reactivity was also evaluated using human anti–CHIKV IgG or IgM. In particular, rE2 displayed a higher ELISA value than rE1. Furthermore, we developed an immunochromatographic strip test (IST) using rE2 to detect human anti-MAYV IgG or IgM, demonstrating the potential applicability of rE2 in a diagnosis system to detect MAYV infection. at 25°C, washed six times with PBST, and incubated with HRP–conjugated goat–anti mouse IgG antibodies at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1 h at 25°C. To visualize antibodies bound to the proteins, ECL luminal kits were used as enzyme substrates and the blots were visualized on a chemiluminescence imaging system (WSE–6200H LuminoGraph II, ATTO Corp, Tokyo, Japan). rE1 and rE2 reactivity against human anti–MAYV IgG and IgM was tested (11).

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) encodes an accessory protein Nef. Initially, Nef had been known as a viral negative factor due to its no-effect on viral replication in the cancerous cell line system, however the pivotal role of Nef in disease progression has been discovered in primary culture and in vivo studies. The Nef protein is 27-35kDa, which is N-myristolated to attach on the intracellular membrane. Since it is already known that the nef-deleted virus is associated with long-term non-progression (LTNP), the roles of Nef linked to viral virulence were emphasized to develop an agent capable of inhibiting the progression of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Nef plays multifaceted roles in host cell activities, which are recognized as the key functions of Nef-induced AIDS progression. Nef down-regulates the surface expression of several immune proteins including CD4, major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I/II), CD3. CD62L CXCR4, etc. Also, Nef disturbs the actin dynamics linked to vesicle trafficking and cell movement, and modulates the T-cell activation signaling associated with viral transcription. Here, we overview the molecular mechanisms of Nef with regard to AIDS pathogenesis and discuss various therapeutic approaches targeting Nef with a view to developing a new class of anti-AIDS agent capable of preventing the disease progression linked to Nef-induced CD4 down-regulation and HIV-1 replication.","PeriodicalId":39739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology and Virology","volume":"199 1","pages":"187-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70701161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are caused by the spread of pathogens via sexual activity and can cause serious complications if left untreated, regardless of their symptoms. Therefore, early diagnosis of STI is important, and molecular diagnostic methods for rapid detection and monitoring are needed. In this study, we evaluated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kit for simultaneously detecting 13 different bacterial, fungal, and viral microorganisms that cause STIs. The kit performance was evaluated for its sensitivity, lot-to-lot variation, and interference in detecting different pathogens. Additionally, its clinical usefulness was evaluated by estimating its sensitivity and specificity for clinical samples. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.021–50.104 copies for each pathogen. In the tests of lot-to-lot, 100% of positive samples were detected at low concentrations and negative samples all showed negative results. This result confirms that there is no the variation of lot-to-lot. In the test for interference between pathogens, the efficiency of amplification for each pathogen was not significantly reduced and no nonspecific amplification product was formed. We tested 322 vaginal swab samples using the multiplex PCR kit and confirmed that its clinical sensitivity and specificity were 100% for all pathogens. This multiplex PCR kit can be used widely for rapid diagnosis and monitoring of STIs.","PeriodicalId":39739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology and Virology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70700724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the main causative viral agents in epidemic and endemic acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Despite their impact on the global economic and health burden, developing effective control measures to prevent and treat norovirus gastroenteritis remains a difficult problem to solve. One of the major reasons for this problem is the lack of affordable small animal models and a robust and reproducible in vitro cell culture system for the propagation of this poorly characterized RNA virus. Recently, the development of a 3-dimensional culture system using pluripotent stem cells to mimic the native small intestine has led to the discovery of new strategies for the cultivation of this virus. In this review, we describe a human stem cell-derived intestinal organoid model that led to the development of the currently available HuNoV in vitro culture systems that support replication of the virus, and provide helpful insights into HuNoV biology and vaccine and therapeutic development.","PeriodicalId":39739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology and Virology","volume":"50 1","pages":"168-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70701147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: Dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, but changes in microbiota due to radiotherapy have not been studied. In this study, we tried to elucidate the changes in the microbiome in rectal cancer after chemoradiotherapy using RNA sequencing analysis. Materials and methods: We included 11 pairs of human rectal cancer tissues before and after irradiation between August 2016 and December 2017 and performed RNA sequencing analysis. Mapped reads to human reference genomes were used for pair-wise transcriptome comparisons, and unmapped (non-human) reads were then mapped to bacterial marker genes using PathSeq. Results: At microbiome level, interindividual variability of mucosal microbiota was greater than the change in microbial composition during radiotherapy. This indicates that rapid homeostatic recovery of the mucosal microbial composition takes place short after radiotherapy. At single microbe level, Prevotella and Fusobacterium, which were identified as important causative microbes of the initiation and progression of rectal cancer were decreased by radiotherapy. Moreover, changes in Prevotella were associated with changes in the human transcriptome of rectal cancer. We also found that there was a gene cluster that increased and decreased in association with changes in microbial composition by chemoradiation. Conclusion: This study revealed changes in tumor-associated microbial community by irradiation in rectal cancer. These findings can be used to develop a new treatment strategy of neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer by overcoming radio-resistance or facilitating radio-sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":39739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology and Virology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46561923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
