A #cytomegalovirus-encoded lncRNA blocks cell-cycle progression.

HCMV lncRNA RNA2.7 stabilizes host mRNAs & enforces G1–S arrest, boosting viral replication through mRNA control & cell‑cycle blockade.

Some #viruses can be dormant throughout a person’s life and cause no harm but become dangerous when the #immune system is weakened. One such #virus is human #cytomegalovirus (CMV). Harmless to the general public but life-threatening to patients with a suppressed immune system.

Das #Cytomegalovirus ist ein #Herpesvirus, das lange im Körper überdauern kann. Eine neue Studie des HZI-#Virologen Luka Cicin-Sain mit der Vetmeduni Wien und der Universität Rijeka im Journal Nature Communications zeigt erstmals, dass #CMV dafür die gleichen Bindegewebszellen nutzt wie zur Vermehrung.

Former STAT intern Edward Chen does a deep dive into neonatal #cytomegalovirus or #CMV — the damage it can do and the debate over whether universal screening makes sense. https://www.statnews.com/2023/04/05/cmv-screening-congenital-cytomegalovirus-hearing-loss/

"The team hypothesised that some of the T cells specific to SARS-CoV-2 had been activated by a herpesvirus called human #cytomegalovirus (HCMV). This pathogen is highly prevalent in the population and has also been linked to changes in the severity of #COVID19 symptoms (Alanio et al., 2022). To investigate, they stimulated pre-pandemic blood samples with different segments of SARS-CoV-2 proteins. This led them to discover a population of ‘cross-reactive’ CD4 and CD8 T cells that can recognize epitopes from both #SARSCoV2 and #HCMV"

"Do you suffer from #anxiety? Maybe it comes from a previous exposure to #cytomegalovirus. Mostly #asymptomatic, cytomegalovirus is a beta-herpes virus which once it has infected you, again stays for life. ... Individuals with higher #CMV-specific #antibody loads were more likely to be #depressed, #anxious, and suffer more overall #psychological #morbidity."

@jonaskunst

very interesting finding re: negative association of neurocognitive symptoms in Long Covid w/ CMV.

also, from article: "CMV seropositivity in younger adults is actually associated with heightened adaptive immune responses to influenza vaccination ..., despite earlier studies in the aging literature linking CMV to immunosenescence phenotypes"
