Dysregulation of apoptotic death in the pathogenesis of virus-induced cytogenetic instability of blood lymphocytes

Abstract: The cytogenetic status and activity of regulatory systems for stability of the cell genome were evaluated in patients with chronic viral persistence. Hepatitis B and C viruses damage the chromosome apparatus of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Cytogenetic instability of immunocompetent cells during chronic viral infection was associated with inhibition of DNA excision repair system and dysregulation of apoptosis in target cells.

“…It implies binding of TNFR1 with the corresponding ligand and formation of a complex between intracellular areas of the receptor and adaptor protein TRADD (TNFR-associated death domain). The latter induces oligomerization of caspase-8 and its autoproteolysis [1,2,7]. Caspase-8 affects effector proteases (caspases 3 and 7), which activate caspase 6 cleaving nuclear mitotic apparatus protein and mediating shrinkage and fragmentation of the nucleus [10].…”

“…HBV-DNA integration into the host cell genome can lead to increased frequencies of chromosomal instability and genetic recombinations (6). Cytogenetic instability of immune system cells in chronic viral infections has been associated with inhibition of the DNA excision repair system and disregulation of apoptosis in target cells (7). …”
