In some cases, though, environmental triggers, including stress or coincident infections and immune suppression, create conditions in which the virus can thrive, occasionally sparking a rare type of lymphoma or other cancer. Four years ago, the U of U Health research team found that spironolactone, a medicine routinely used to treat heart failure, has an unexpected antiviral activity against EBV. Several years ago, a group of French researchers found that spironolactone degrades a host protein called XPB, which plays an important role in cellular transcription — one of the first steps in gene expression.
Following up on this lead, Swaminathan and his colleague Dinesh Verma conducted a series of experiments to explore the potential link between the two proteins that the drug interacts with, XPB and SM.
The researchers first used a molecular biology technique to specifically lower the amount of XPB in host cells. Tsurumi T. Latent and lytic Epstein-Barr virus replication strategies. Gruffat H.
