Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a naturally occurring lentivirus of domestic and nondomestic feline species. Infection in domestic cats leads to immune dysfunction via mechanisms similar to those caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and, as such, is a valuable natural animal model for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans. An association between FIV and an increased incidence of neoplasia has long been recognized, with frequencies of up to 20% in FIV-positive cats recorded in some studies. This is similar to the rate of neoplasia seen in HIV-positive individuals, and in both species neoplasia typically requires several years to arise. The most frequently reported type of neoplasia associated with FIV infection is lymphoma. Here we review the possible mechanisms involved in FIV lymphomagenesis, including the possible involvement of coinfections, notably those with gamma-herpesviruses.
猫免疫缺陷病毒(FIV)是一种存在于家养和非家养猫科动物中的自然发生的慢病毒。家猫感染该病毒会通过与人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)引起免疫功能障碍的机制相似的途径导致免疫功能失调,因此,它是人类获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)的一种有价值的天然动物模型。FIV与肿瘤发生率增加之间的关联早已得到认可,一些研究记录显示FIV阳性猫的肿瘤发生率高达20%。这与HIV阳性个体中肿瘤的发生率相似,并且在这两个物种中,肿瘤通常需要数年时间才会出现。与FIV感染相关的最常报道的肿瘤类型是淋巴瘤。在此,我们综述了FIV淋巴瘤发生可能涉及的机制,包括合并感染(尤其是与γ-疱疹病毒的合并感染)可能发挥的作用。
