چکیده

Epstein-barr virus (ebv),a ubiquitous b-lymphotropic herpesvirus,ectopically infects t or nk cells to cause severe diseases of unknown pathogenesis,including chronic active ebv infection (caebv) and ebv-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (ebv-hlh). we developed xenograft models of caebv and ebv-hlh by transplanting patients' pbmc to immunodeficient mice of the nod/shi-scid/il-2rγ null strain. in these models,ebv-infected t,nk,or b cells proliferated systemically and reproduced histological characteristics of the two diseases. analysis of the tcr repertoire expression revealed that identical predominant ebv-infected t-cell clones proliferated in patients and corresponding mice transplanted with their pbmc. expression of the ebv nuclear antigen 1 (ebna1),the latent membrane protein 1 (lmp1),and lmp2,but not ebna2,in the engrafted cells is consistent with the latency ii program of ebv gene expression known in caebv. high levels of human cytokines,including il-8,ifn-γ,and rantes,were detected in the peripheral blood of the model mice,mirroring hypercytokinemia characteristic to both caebv and ebv-hlh. transplantation of individual immunophenotypic subsets isolated from patients' pbmc as well as that of various combinations of these subsets revealed a critical role of cd4 + t cells in the engraftment of ebv-infected t and nk cells. in accordance with this finding,in vivo depletion of cd4 + t cells by the administration of the okt4 antibody following transplantation of pbmc prevented the engraftment of ebv-infected t and nk cells. this is the first report of animal models of caebv and ebv-hlh that are expected to be useful tools in the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of the diseases. © 2011 imadome et al. this is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the creative commons attribution license,which permits unrestricted use,distribution,and reproduction in any medium,provided the original author and source are credited.
