Vollmar and Karin Bartel * Pharmaceutical Biology, Department Pharmacy, Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, 81377 Munich, Germany; franz.geisslinger@cup.uni-muenchen.de (F.G.); angelika.vollmar@cup.uni-muenchen.de (A.M.V.) * Correspondence: karin.bartel@cup.uni-muenchen.de Received: 29 May 2020; Accepted: 3 July 2020; Published: 6 July 2020 Abstract: The world is currently suffering from a pandemic which has claimed the lives of over 230,000 people to date. The responsible virus is called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is mainly characterized by fever, cough and shortness of breath. In severe cases, the disease can lead to respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock, which are mostly fatal for the patient. The severity of disease progression was hypothesized to be related to an overshooting immune response and was correlated with age and comorbidities, including cancer. A lot of research has lately been focused on the pathogenesis and acute consequences of COVID-19. However, the possibility of long-term consequences caused by viral infections which has been shown for other viruses are not to be neglected. In this regard, this opinion discusses the interplay of SARS-CoV-2 infection and cancer with special focus on the inflammatory immune response and tissue damage caused by infection. We summarize the available literature on COVID-19 suggesting an increased risk for severe disease progression in cancer patients, and we discuss the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 could contribute to cancer development.

    ©Copyright 2020 Daniel Holmes Identification of Targetable Vulnerabilities During Latent KSHV Infection Daniel Holmes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Michael Lagunoff, Chair Adam Philip Geballe Jason G Smith Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Microbiology University of Washington Abstract Identification of Targetable Vulnerabilities During Latent KSHV Infection Daniel Holmes Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Michael Lagunoff Department of Microbiology Viruses are defined as obligate intracellular parasites that require host processes to repli- cate. Latent virus life cycles are no exception to this definition, as viruses are still reliant on host machinery for continued proliferation and maintenance of viral genomes, even in the absence of lytic replication. In this thesis, I used essentiality screening to identify host factors on which Kaposi's Sarcoma Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) relies for the proliferation and survival of latently infected cells. KSHV is the etiological agent of Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), an endothelial cell-based tumor where more than 90% of the endothelial cells in the tumor are latently infected with KSHV. While traditional therapies for herpesviruses target lytic replication, the prevalence of latency in KS necessitates exploration of options for intervening in this stage of the viral life cycle. I performed CRISPR/Cas9 screening using lentiviral vec- tors encoding a library of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting every protein coding gene in the human genome. I compared mock infected and KSHV infected endothelial cells eight days post infection to identify genes essential to latent KSHV infection.

Both authors contributed equally to this review. y Received: 9 March 2020; Accepted: 7 April 2020; Published: 20 April 2020 Abstract: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) are the most common oncoviruses, contributing to approximately 10%–15% of all malignancies. Oncoproteins of high-risk HPVs (E5 and E6/E7), as well as EBV (LMP1, LMP2A and EBNA1), play a principal role in the onset and progression of several human carcinomas, including head and neck, cervical and colorectal. Oncoproteins of high-risk HPVs and EBV can cooperate to initiate and/or enhance epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) events, which represents one of the hallmarks of cancer progression and metastasis. Although the role of these oncoviruses in several cancers is well established, their role in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer is still nascent. This review presents an overview of the most recent advances related to the presence and role of high-risk HPVs and EBV in colorectal cancer, with an emphasis on their cooperation in colorectal carcinogenesis.

  • Editors' Statement on Considerations of Biodefence and Biosecurity
    EDITORIAL Editors’ statement on considerations of biodefence and biosecurity The threat of bioterrorism requires active consideration by scientists. On 9 January 2003, the US National Academy of Sciences held a discussion on the balance between scientific openness and security. The next day, a group of editors met to discuss the issues with specific reference to the scientific publication process. The following statement has emerged from that meeting. The principles dis- cussed will be considered and followed through by Nature Medicine The process of scientific publication, is a view, shared by nearly all, that there is FOURTH: We recognize that on occasions through which new findings are reviewed information that, although we cannot an editor may conclude that the potential for quality and then presented to the rest now capture it with lists or definitions, harm of publication outweighs the poten- of the scientific community and the pub- presents enough risk of use by terrorists tial societal benefits.
