 <li>The BCBL-1 cell line, originally isolated from a human body cavity based lymphoma, is cultured in complete RPMI 1640 media (Gibco, Grand Island, NY). BCBL-1 cells are removed from liquid nitrogen, transported on dry ice, and quickly thawed for 1 minute at 37&deg;C. A 50 &mu;L aliquot of BCBL-1 cells at a density 1x104 cells/ mL is added to 500 mL of RPMI 1640 media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1x penicillin/streptomycin and distributed ...

The methodologies used in this report can be performed in a variety of laboratory settings. They require some special equipment or access to core facilities. Proper precautions must be taken when doing experiments involving infectious viral pathogens like KSHV which may require the use of a biosaftey level 3 (BSL-3) facilities. Tissue acquisitions must also be approved by the appropriate institutional review boards (IRBs).
These methodologies together can provide a basis for identifying ge...

identifying dysregulated genes induced by kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (kshv)

Currently KS is the most predominant HIV/AIDS related malignancy in Southern Africa and hence the world.1,2 It is characterized as an angioproliferative tumor of vascular endothelial cells and produces rare B cell lymphoproliferative diseases in the form of pleural effusion lymphomas (PEL) and some forms of multicentric Castleman's disease.3-5 Only 1-5% of cells in KS lesions actively support lytic replication of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the etiological agent associated with KS, and it is clear that cellular factors must interact with viral factors in the process of oncogenesis and tumor progression.6,7 Identifying novel host-factor determinants which contribute to KS pathology is essential for developing prognostic markers for tumor progression and metastasis as well as for developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of KS.8 The accompanying video details the methods we use to identify host cell gene expression programs altered in dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMVEC) after KSHV infection and in KS tumor tissue.9 Once dysregulated genes are identified by microarray analysis, changes in protein expression are confirmed by immunoblot and dual labeled immunofluorescence. Changes in transcriptional expression of dysregulated genes are confirmed in vitro by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Validation of in vitro findings using archival KS tumor tissue is also performed by dual labeled immunochemistry and tissue microarrays.8,10 Our approach to identifying dysregulated genes in the KS tumor tissue microenvironment will allow the development of in vitro and subsequently in vivo model systems for discovery and evaluation of potential novel therapeutic for the treatment of KS.

Identifying Dysregulated Genes Induced by Kaposi&#039;s Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus KSHV

Host cell factors play a critical role in the establishment and maintenance of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). We outline methods to identify host cell factors altered in KSHV-infected DMVEC cells, and in KS tumor tissue. Cellular genes altered by virus will serve as potential target(s) for novel therapeutics.
