Tumor Virology Course: MSMVM 3435, Dec 2, Who Am I? What Am I going to talk about? And Why? Saumendra N. Sarkar, Ph.D. (Saumen) University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, HCC Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA Phone: (412) , Fax: (412) Web: Innate Immunity, Inflammation and tumorigenesis. Host responses to virus infection Innate immune response to virus o Interferons (IFN) o Viral components and their Sensors o TLR, RLR, NLRs Innate Immune evasion strategies of viruses

Cellular Sensors of DNA and DNA viruses DNA transfection induces IFN independent of TLRs (Stetson, 2005) Cytoplasmic DNA sensor – DAI/ZBP1 (Takaoka, 2007) o Transient Expression allows DNA dependent IRF activation, siRNA. o DAI interaction with DNA NALP3/ASC Inflammosome (Muruve, 2008) o Adenoviral particles, capsid, DNA induced IL-1 secretion in a NALP3, ASC dependent manner. o No IRF activation. AIM2, new protein which interacts with ASC (Hornung, 2009) o Binding, localization with ASC o Direct DNA binding o IRF activation? RNA polymerase III, transcribes dA.dT to RNA for RIG-I recognition (Hornung, 2009/Chen, 2009) o 5’pppN is important

My Assessment I think it was pretty good. How to keep people falling off to sleep? Make people more interactive during the class Incorporate more stories and experiments describing how some of these were discovered.
