After a primary lytic infection at the epithelia, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) enters the innervating sensory neurons and translocates to the nucleus, where it establishes a quiescent latent infection. Periodically, the virus can reactivate and the progeny viruses spread back to the epithelium. Here, we introduce an embryonic mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) culture system, which can be used to study the mechanisms that control the establishment, maintenance and reactivation from latency…

The γ134.5 Neurovirulence Gene of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Modifies the Exosome Secretion Profile in Epithelial Cells
TLDR
It is reported for the first time that the deletion of the viral 134.5 neurovirulence gene affects HSV-induced exosome secretion, and it is proposed that the stocks of 134.
Herpes Simplex Virus 2 Counteracts Neurite Outgrowth Repulsion during Infection in a Nerve Growth Factor-Dependent Manner
TLDR
It is suggested that HSV-2 infection of nonneuronal cells reduces their repelling effect on neurite outgrowth in an NGF-dependent manner, which might foster the development of therapeutics to reduce HSv-2 colonization of the nervous system and provide insights on neurites outgrowth and regeneration.
Differentiated Human SH-SY5Y Cells Provide a Reductionist Model of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Neurotropism
TLDR
A cost-effective and scalable human neuronal model system that can be used to study many neurotropic viruses, such as HSV, Zika virus, dengue virus, and rabies virus is described.
Herpesvirus-mediated stabilization of ICP0 expression neutralizes restriction by TRIM23.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that posttranslational regulation of ICP0 by virus and host factors determines the outcome of HSV-1 infection.
Inhibition of clinical pathogenic herpes simplex virus 1 strains with enzymatically created siRNA pools
TLDR
The results are promising for the development of a topical RNA interference approach for clinical treatment of HSV infection and elicited only a minimal innate immune response in the HSV‐infected cells, thus evidencing the safety of its potential clinical use.
HSV-1 Enters Melanocytes and Induces their Apoptosis
TLDR
This study treats murine Melan-A cell line with HSV-1 in vitro and draws a conclusion that HSv-1 can infect melanocytes and induce melanocytes apoptosis for the first time.

Entry of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) into the Distal Axons of Trigeminal Neurons Favors the Onset of Nonproductive, Silent Infection
TLDR
The site of entry appears to be a critical determinant in the lytic/latent decision in sensory neurons.
Towards an Understanding of the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Latency-Reactivation Cycle
TLDR
An update of viral factors that are expressed during latency and their potential roles in regulating the latency-reactivation cycle is discussed.
A primary neuron culture system for the study of herpes simplex virus latency and reactivation.
TLDR
The SCG-based HSV-1 latency / reactivation system provides a powerful, necessary tool to unravel the molecular mechanisms controlling HSV1 latency and reactivation in neurons, a long standing puzzle in virology whose solution may offer fresh insights into developing new therapies that target the latent herpesvirus reservoir.
An investigation of herpes simplex virus promoter activity compatible with latency establishment reveals VP16-independent activation of immediate-early promoters in sensory neurones
TLDR
It is concluded that only IE promoter activation can efficiently precede latency establishment and that this activation is likely to occur through a VP16-independent mechanism.
An inquiry into the molecular basis of HSV latency and reactivation.
TLDR
This presentation focuses on three key issues: current assessment of the impact of HSV on human health, the mechanisms by which the virus overcomes a key host defense mechanism at the portal of entry into the body and yet is silenced in latently infected neurons, and the mechanisms of the virus reactivates.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Promoter Activity during Latency Establishment, Maintenance, and Reactivation in Primary Dorsal Root Neurons In Vitro
TLDR
The use of recombinant viruses containing reporter genes, under the regulation of lytic and latency promoter control in neuronal cultures in which latency can be established and reactivation can be induced, is a potentially powerful system in which to study the molecular events that occur during HSV infection of neurons.
Characterization of nerve growth factor-dependent herpes simplex virus latency in neurons in vitro
TLDR
Primary sympathetic neuronal cultures were maintained for up to 5 weeks after inoculation with herpes simplex virus (HSV) without evidence of viral infection, indicating that the majority of neurons harbored latent HSV.
Immune response to herpes simplex virus and gamma134.5 deleted HSV vectors.
TLDR
The involvement of immune response in HSV infection and in gamma(1)34.5 deletion HSV-based virotherapy is described and the challenge of developing vectors with desired immune response benefiting the therapy and maintaining the efficiency is discussed.
Immune Response to Herpes Simplex Virus and ?134.5 Deleted HSV Vectors
TLDR
The involvement of immune response in HSV infection and in gamma(1)34.5 deletion HSV-based virotherapy is described and the challenge of developing vectors with desired immune response benefiting the therapy and maintaining the efficiency is discussed.
