}The present study was performed to clarify the relationship between human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection and chronic inflammatory arthropathy. To determine the ability of HTLV-I to infect synovial cells and the effect on synovial cell proliferation, synovial cells were cocultured with the HTLV-I-producing T cell lines (MT-2 or HCT-1). After coculture with HTLV-I-infected T cells, the synovial cells expressed HTLV-I-specific core antigens, and HTLV-I proviral DNA was…

This THTLV-I-T-cell interaction could explain the spontaneous proliferation observed in patients with HTLV-i-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis and potentially could provide a basis for some of the diseases associated with HT LV.

In vitro results suggest that ribozyme-mediated gene therapy can inhibit the growth of HTLV-I-infected synovial cells, which is maintained by Tax protein, in HTLV -I-related diseases including HAAP.

The analysis of a series of deletions of the IL-6 promoter suggested that the region (-105/-47) containing a NF kappa B site was crucial for the Tax responsiveness, indicating an important role of the Tax protein in the expression of IL- 6 in cells infected with HTLV-1.

It is reported that Tax induces the human prointerleukin-1beta (IL1B) gene promoter in monocytic cells and that recombinant Tax enhances DNA binding of both of recombinant NF-IL6 and Spi-1 proteins.
