The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus associated with both proliferative and inflammatory disorders. This virus causes a persistent infection, mainly in CD4+ T lymphocyte. The ability to persist in the host is associated with the virus capacity to evade the immune response and to induce infected T-cell proliferation, once the HTLV-1 maintains the infection mainly by clonal expansion of infected cells. There are several evidences that ORF-I encoded proteins, such as p12 and p8, play an important role in this context. The present study will review the molecular mechanisms that HTLV-1 ORF-I encoded proteins have to induce dysregulation of intracellular signaling, in order to escape from immune response and to increase the infected T-cell proliferation rate. The work will also address the impact of ORF-I mutations on the human host and perspectives in this study field.
人类 T 细胞嗜淋巴细胞病毒 1 型(HTLV-1)是一种逆转录病毒,与增殖性和炎症性疾病有关。该病毒引起持续性感染,主要感染 CD4+T 淋巴细胞。病毒能够在宿主体内存续与其逃避免疫反应和诱导受感染 T 细胞增殖的能力有关,一旦 HTLV-1 通过感染细胞的克隆扩增维持感染,就会发生这种情况。有几项证据表明,ORF-I 编码的蛋白质,如 p12 和 p8,在这种情况下发挥着重要作用。本研究将综述 HTLV-1 ORF-I 编码蛋白诱导细胞内信号转导失调的分子机制,以逃避免疫反应并提高受感染 T 细胞的增殖率。该工作还将讨论 ORF-I 突变对人类宿主的影响以及该研究领域的展望。
