    Abstract: The present invention uses gene expression profiling, and gene silencing methods to identify and provide a plurality of 'validated' KSHV-induced cellular gene sequences and pathways useful as targets for modulation of KSHV-mediated effects on cellular proliferation and phenotype (e.g., cancer) associated with latent and lytic phases of the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; Human herpesvirus 8; HHV8) life cycle. Particular embodiments provide therapeutic compositions, and methods for modulation of KSHV infection or KSHV-mediated effects on cellular proliferation and phenotype, comprising inhibition of KSHV-induced gene sequences. Additional embodiments provide screening assays for compounds useful to modulate KSHV infection or KSHV-mediated effects on cellular proliferation and phenotype. Further embodiments provide diagnostic and/or prognostic assays for KSHV infection.

    Abstract translation: 本发明使用基因表达谱和基因沉默方法来鉴定并提供多个“验证的”KSHV诱导的细胞基因序列和途径,其可用作调节KSHV介导的对细胞增殖和表型(例如癌症)的作用的靶标, 与卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒(KSHV;人类疱疹病毒8; HHV8)生命周期的潜伏和溶解期相关。 具体实施方案提供用于调节KSHV感染或KSHV介导的对细胞增殖和表型的影响的治疗组合物和方法,包括KSHV诱导的基因序列的抑制。 另外的实施方案提供了用于调节KSHV感染或KSHV介导的细胞增殖和表型效应的化合物的筛选测定。 其他实施方案提供用于KSHV感染的诊断和/或预后测定。
