Abstract Background Previously, 50% of patients with breast ductal carcinoma in situ ( DCIS) had more than one nuclear grade, and neither worst nor predominant nuclear grade was significantly...

Seasonal Variation of Arsenic Concentrations in Tubewells in West Bengal, India (2007)

Xavier Savarimuthu, Yan Yuan, Subhankar Das, Nilima Ghosh, ...

This study was conducted to monitor the changes in arsenic concentration during different seasons in a one-year period during 2002-2003 in selected tubewells in an arsenic-affected area in the...

A viral gene that activates lytic cycle expression of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus

Sun, Ren, Lin, Su-Fang, Gradoville, Lyndle, Yuan, Yan, Zhu, Fanxiu, Miller, George

Herpesviruses exist in two states, latency and a lytic productive cycle. Here we identify an immediate-early gene encoded by Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus eight...

Identification of the Immediate-Early Transcripts of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus

Zhu, Fan Xiu, Cusano, Teresa, Yuan, Yan

In the immediate-early phase of reactivation or primary infection, herpesviruses express a small number of genes without requiring prior viral protein synthesis. Immediate-early genes usually encode...

A Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesviral protein inhibits virus-mediated induction of type I interferon by blocking IRF-7 phosphorylation and nuclear accumulation

Zhu, Fan Xiu, King, Sonya M., Smith, Eric J., Levy, David E., Yuan, Yan

Interferons constitute the earliest immune response against viral infection. They elicit antiviral effects as well as multiple biological responses involved in cell growth regulation and immune...

The ORF45 Protein of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Is Associated with Purified Virions

Zhu, Fan Xiu, Yuan, Yan

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) ORF45 is encoded by an immediate-early gene in the KSHV genome. This protein was recently shown to interact with interferon regulatory factor 7 and...

Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Lytic Origin (ori-Lyt)-Dependent DNA Replication: Identification of the ori-Lyt and Association of K8 bZip Protein with the Origin

Lin, Cui Li, Li, Hong, Wang, Yan, Zhu, Fan Xiu, Kudchodkar, Sagar, Yuan, Yan

Herpesviruses utilize different origins of replication during lytic versus latent infection. Latent DNA replication depends on host cellular DNA replication machinery, whereas lytic cycle DNA...

Chromatin Remodeling of the Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ORF50 Promoter Correlates with Reactivation from Latency

Lu, Fang, Zhou, Jing, Wiedmer, Andreas, Madden, Kevin, Yuan, Yan, Lieberman, Paul M.

The switch from latent to lytic infection of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus is initiated by the immediate early transcriptional activator protein Rta/open reading frame 50 (ORF50). We...

Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ori-Lyt-Dependent DNA Replication: cis-Acting Requirements for Replication and ori-Lyt-Associated RNA Transcription

Wang, Yan, Li, Hong, Chan, Man Yee, Zhu, Fan Xiu, Lukac, David M., Yuan, Yan

Herpesvirus lytic DNA replication requires both the cis-acting element, the origin, and trans-acting factors such as virally encoded origin-binding protein and DNA replication enzymes. Recently, the...

Virion Proteins of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus

Zhu, Fan Xiu, Chong, Jae Min, Wu, Lijun, Yuan, Yan

The proteins that compose a herpesvirus virion are thought to contain the functional information required for de novo infection, as well as virion assembly and egress. To investigate functional roles...

Dietary Intake and Arsenic Methylation in a U.S. Population

Steinmaus, Craig, Carrigan, Kenichi, Kalman, Dave, Atallah, Raja, Yuan, Yan, Smith, Allan H.

Millions of people worldwide are exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water, and ingestion of inorganic arsenic (InAs) has been associated with increased risks of cancer. The primary metabolic...

Increased Mortality from Lung Cancer and Bronchiectasis in Young Adults after Exposure to Arsenic in Utero and in Early Childhood

Smith, Allan H., Marshall, Guillermo, Yuan, Yan, Ferreccio, Catterina, Liaw, Jane, Von Ehrenstein, Ondine, ...

Arsenic in drinking water is an established cause of lung cancer, and preliminary evidence suggests that ingested arsenic may also cause nonmalignant lung disease. Antofagasta is the second largest...

Functional Characterization of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ORF45 by Bacterial Artificial Chromosome-Based Mutagenesis▿

Zhu, Fan Xiu, Li, Xiaojuan, Zhou, Fuchun, Gao, Shou-Jiang, Yuan, Yan

Open reading frame 45 (ORF45) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes an immediate-early protein. This protein is also present in virions as a tegument protein. ORF45 protein...
