  • Inhibition of Type 1 Cytokine–mediated Inflammation by a Soluble CD30 Homologue Encoded by Ectromelia (Mousepox) Virus
    The Journal of experimental medicine, 2002
    Co-Authors: Margarida Saraiva, Philip Smith, Padraic G. Fallon, Antonio Alcami
    Abstract:

    CD30 is up-regulated in several human diseases and viral infections but its role in immune regulation is poorly understood. Here, we report the expression of a functional soluble CD30 homologue, viral CD30 (vCD30), encoded by ectromelia (mousepox) virus, a poxvirus that causes a severe disease related to human smallpox. We show that vCD30 is a 12-kD secreted protein that not only binds CD30L with high affinity and prevents its interaction with CD30, but it also induces reverse signaling in cells expressing CD30L. vCD30 blocked the generation of interferon gamma-producing cells in vitro and was a potent inhibitor of T helper cell (Th)1- but not Th2-mediated inflammation in vivo. The finding of a CD30 homologue encoded by ectromelia virus suggests a role for CD30 in antiviral defense. Characterization of the immunological properties of vCD30 has uncovered a role of CD30-CD30L interactions in the generation of inflammatory responses.

  • CD30 and epstein barr virus rna expression in sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of spleen
    Virchows Archiv, 2007
    Co-Authors: Ilan Weinreb, Denis Bailey, Donna Battaglia, Meagan Kennedy, Bayardo Perezordonez
    Abstract:

    Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a splenic lesion composed of angiomatoid/vascular nodules surrounded by hyalinized/sclerotic stroma, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and inflammatory cells. The endothelium within the nodules has a phenotype resembling splenic sinusoids, capillaries, and small veins. Martel et al. (Am J Surg Pathol 28:1268–1279, 2004) suggested that SANT may represent the final pathway of a variety of splenic lesions including inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs). Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) has a role in the genesis of some splenic IPTs, but its presence in SANT has not been investigated. Six cases of SANT are reported. All were stained for CD31, CD34, CD8, CD68, smooth muscle actin, muscle-specific actin, and CD30 and were tested for EBV by in situ hybridization (EBER). All cases showed angiomatoid nodules with complex expression of CD31, CD34, and CD8, with focal CD68. Expression of CD30 by endothelial cells was also seen. One case had small diffuse areas lacking nodules resembling an IPT and was positive for EBV. The inflammatory cells and the normal spleen were negative for CD30 and EBER. In conclusion, SANT shows upregulation of CD30 with respect to normal spleen. The presence of EBV in the stromal cells of a case supports the notion that a subset of SANT may be related to IPT.
