Abstract

Although human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) was the first retrovirus among human pathogens to be identified, insufficient information on the pathogenesis of HTLV-1 infection means that no precise mechanism has yet been provided for HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Based on previous studies, it was found that apoptosis and inflammation stimulation were among the most important mechanisms underlying HAM/TSP. The present study provides an analysis of the microarray data related to HAM/TSP patients. Expression changes of the genes responsible for cytotoxicity and apoptosis processes of HAM/TSP patients and asymptomatic carriers were investigated. Expression of the genes involved in cytotoxicity and apoptosis in HAM/TSP patients was decreased; hence, a model was proposed indicating that the spread of immune responses in HAM/TSP may be due to expression of HTLV-1 virulence factors and the resistance of HTLV-1-infected cells to apoptosis.
