项目摘要

Project Description: Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection is often asymptomatic or may produce recurrent lesions in and around the mouth, commonly called “cold sores.” Ocular herpetic disease, typically caused by HSV-1 either through primary infection or reactivation from the trigeminal ganglia (TG), can have serious sequelae, including permanent corneal scarring and blindness. Herpes stromal keratitis (HSK) is one of the most common causes of infectious blindness in the developed world, and worldwide produces over 40,000 new cases of severe vision impairment or blindness each year. Interestingly, the majority of HSK tissue damage is thought to be immune-mediated rather than resulting from direct lytic effects of the virus. Even after the virus has successfully been cleared, high levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, immune cell infiltrates, and neovascularization persist. How HSV-1 infection of the eye leads to this chronic inflammatory syndrome is not well understood. By studying cellular factors that influence the host immune response, we will delineate the cascade of events that begin with a viral infection and end with chronic inflammation and vision loss. This proposal represents a continuation of our studies examining cellular factors that are important for HSK using a murine model. The studies proposed here will address the immunomodulatory functions of PILRA and HVEM in Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Keratitis. By investigating how PILRA and HVEM contributes to HSK, we will better understand the viral-host interactions inflammatory syndrome that persists in the absence of replicating virus, providing a basis for therapeutic interventions for HSK.

项目描述：单纯疱疹病毒 I 型 (HSV-1) 感染通常无症状或可能在以下部位产生复发性病变：口腔周围，通常称为“唇疱疹”。眼部疱疹病，通常由 HSV-1 引起通过原发感染或三叉神经节 (TG) 重新激活，可能会产生严重的后遗症，包括永久性角膜疤痕和失明是最常见的原因之一。发达国家传染性失明的病例数超过 40,000 例每年隐性视力障碍或失明，大多数被认为是HSK组织损伤。免疫介导的，而不是由病毒直接裂解作用引起的，即使是在病毒发生之后。成功清除，高水平的炎症细胞因子和趋化因子，免疫细胞浸润，眼睛的 HSV-1 感染如何导致这种慢性炎症综合征尚不明确。通过研究影响宿主免疫反应的细胞因素，我们将描绘出以病毒感染开始并以慢性炎症和视力丧失结束的一系列事件。该提案代表了我们研究的延续，使用以下方法检查对 HSK 重要的细胞因素：这里提出的研究将解决 PILRA 和 HVEM 的免疫调节功能。通过研究 PILRA 和 HVEM 如何促进 HSK，我们将在单纯疱疹病毒 (HSV) 角膜炎中发挥作用。更好地了解在没有复制的情况下持续存在的病毒-宿主相互作用炎症综合征病毒，为 HSK 的治疗干预提供基础。
