Human herpesvirus 6 activates lytic cycle 

The American Journal of Pathology [01 Jan 2005, 166(1):173-183]

Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a gamma-herpesvirus consistently identified in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV infection appears to be necessary, but not be sufficient for development of KS without other co-factors. However, factors that facilitate KSHV to cause KS have not been well defined. Because patients with KS are often immunosuppressed and susceptible to many infectious agents including human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), we investigated the potential of HHV-6 to influence the replication of KSHV. By co-culturing HHV-6-infected T cells with KSHV-latent BCBL-1 cell line, infecting BCBL-1 cells with HHV-6 virions, and generating heterokaryons between HHV-6-infected T cells and BCBL-1 cells, we showed that HHV-6 played a critical role in induction of KSHV replication, as determined by production of lytic phase mRNA transcripts and viral proteins. We confirmed and extended the results by using a luciferase reporter assay in which KSHV ORF50 promoter, the first promoter activated during KSHV replication, drove the luciferase expression. Besides HHV-6, we also found that cytokines such as interferon-gamma partially contributed to induction of KSHV replication in the co-culture system. These findings suggest that HHV-6 may participate in KS pathogenesis by promoting KSHV replication and increasing KSHV viral load.

HHV-6 and Male infertility (from Perplexity)

-
  Make the case that HHV-6 may be responsible for the fertility problems in men Make the case that HHV-6 may be responsible for the fertility problems in men There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) may play a role in male fertility problems. Here is the case based on recent research findings: Prevalence in Semen and Sperm Binding:  Studies have identified HHV-6A/B in approximately 13.5% of semen samples from healthy sperm donors, a prevalence higher than that of most other herpesviruses in semen. Importantly, HHV-6B has been shown to specifically bind to the acrosome—the cap-like structure on the head of sperm. This means that the virus can directly interact with sperm cells and potentially travel with them into the female reproductive tract. Potential Mechanisms of Fertility Impairment:  The binding of HHV-6 to the sperm acrosome suggests the existence of a receptor for the virus on sperm, raising the possibility that this interact...

Findings of brain anomalies may shed light on chronic fatigue (Caused by HHV-6???)

-
 Radiology researchers have discovered that the brains of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome have diminished white matter and white matter abnormalities in the right hemisphere. Three key findings The analysis yielded three noteworthy results, the researchers said. First, an MRI showed that overall white-matter content of CFS patients’ brains, compared with that of healthy subjects’ brains, was reduced. The term “white matter” largely denotes the long, cablelike nerve tracts carrying signals among broadly dispersed concentrations of “gray matter.” The latter areas specialize in processing information, and the former in conveying the information from one part of the brain to another. That finding wasn’t entirely unexpected, Zeineh said. CFS is thought to involve chronic inflammation, quite possibly as a protracted immunological response to an as-yet unspecified viral infection. Inflammation, meanwhile, is known to take a particular toll on white matter. B...

The gerrymandering of AIDS inflammation

-
  If AIDS is primarily a disease of inflammation, could one say that the nosology that has separated AIDS from other inflammatory conditions that exploded at the same time is a kind of nosological and epidemiological gerrymandering? There is increasing scientific discussion around the role of chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis and progression of AIDS. HIV infection is now known to activate multiple inflammasomes, triggering a chronic inflammatory response that persists even with suppressed viral load and effective ART. This has led some researchers to frame HIV/AIDS as a disease substantially characterized by unresolved or dysregulated inflammation. However, the established nosology (disease classification system) of AIDS has historically focused on its immunodeficiency aspects, categorizing it primarily by vulnerability to opportunistic infections and secondary cancers, and as distinct from classical inflammatory or autoimmune syndromes. This system separated AIDS from other...

The Movie About the Secret AIDS Epidemic

-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=VsQcmKT3zSo If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism (and many other so-called HHV-6 related mysterious epidemics) are part of the so-called AIDS epidemic.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism both are clearly the results of the ravages of HHV-6. 3. AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been artificially and politically separated into two epidemics. We are living in a period of CFS/AIDS apartheid. So-called AIDS patients have to sit in the back of the HHV-6 epidemic bus while the befuddled HHV-6/CFS patients and HHV-6/Autism victims sit up front. Nobody is well-served. 4. AIDS is not a sexually transmitted disease. That paradigm has set...

Ablashi discusses HHV-6, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

"HHV-6 is actually likely to reduce HIV patient survival by accelerating the depletion of CD4 and CD8 T cells. HHV-6A was shown to accelerate AIDS progression in macaques.  Macaques co-infected with simian HIV and HHV-6A died quickly and showed a dramatic depletion in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, whereas those infected with only simian HIV never progressed to full blown AIDS."  "We believe that infections are the most logical explanation for the inflammation neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s , but don’t believe that there is a single pathogen responsible. HHV-6A and HHV-7 were identified as likely culprits in 2018 paper , using RNAseq analysis by Readhead and team. Two subsequent studies did not find an increase in HHV-6/7 using the same data, but at the same time did not find a significant presence of ANY herpesviruses in the brain, which we know is not the case. Dozens of careful studies have identified a high prevalence of low-level HHV-6 and HSV1 DN...

Why HIV should be referred to as "a red herring."

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Make the case that the critics of the HIV theory of AIDS would be more effective at their messaging to politicians and the public by constantly referring to HIV as a red herring. Critics of the HIV theory of AIDS—those who argue that HIV is not the causative agent of AIDS—often struggle to convey their message effectively to politicians and the public because the scientific consensus firmly upholds the link between HIV and AIDS. However, from a communications strategy perspective, such critics might amplify the clarity and urgency of their argument by consistently describing HIV as a "red herring." Here’s why this tactic could make their messaging more effective: 1. Framing the Narrative Labeling HIV as a "red herring" frames the dominant scientific focus on the virus as a distraction from finding the true cause of AIDS (as the critics would argue). This concise phrase presents the debate in terms of misdirection, which is an accessible and com...
