Initiation of angiogenic Kaposi's sarcoma lesions
Abstract
A new mouse model reported in this issue of Cancer Cell implies that VEGF/KDR-mediated paracrine effects induced by the lytic cycle vGPCR signaling protein encoded by human Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV8) may be involved in promoting the proliferation of the KSHV latently infected spindle endothelial cells of Kaposi's sarcoma.

Endothelial infection with KSHV genes in vivo reveals that vGPCR initiates Kaposi's sarcomagenesis and can promote the tumorigenic potential of viral latent genes.Cancer Cell. 2003 Jan;3(1):23-36. doi: 10.1016/s1535-6108(02)00237-4. Cancer Cell. 2003. PMID: 12559173
