    Abstract The principal understanding of the Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) regulation of genomes has been focused on its role in DNA repair; however, in the past few years, an additional role for PARPs and PARylation has emerged in regulating viral-host interactions. In particular, in the context of DNA virus infection, PARP1-mediated mechanisms of gene regulations, such as the involvement with cellular protein complexes responsible for the folding of the genome into the nucleus, the formation of chromatin loops connecting distant regulatory genomic regions, and other methods of transcriptional regulation, provide additional ways through which PARPs can modulate the function of both the host and the viral genomes during viral infection. In addition, potential viral amplification of the activity of PARPs on the host genome can contribute to the pathogenic effect of viral infection, such as viral-driven oncogenesis, opening the possibility that PARP inhibition may represent a potential therapeutic approach to target viral infection. This review will focus on the role of PARPs, particularly PARP1, in regulating the infection of DNA viruses.

    Abstract Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a human gamma-herpesvirus that is widespread worldwide. To this day, about 200,000 cancer cases per year are attributed to EBV infection. EBV is capable of infecting both B cells and epithelial cells. Upon entry, viral DNA reaches the nucleus and undergoes a process of circularization and chromatinization and establishes a latent lifelong infection in host cells. There are different types of latency all characterized by different expressions of latent viral genes correlated with a different three-dimensional architecture of the viral genome. There are multiple factors involved in the regulation and maintenance of this three-dimensional organization, such as CTCF, PARP1, MYC and Nuclear Lamina, emphasizing its central role in latency maintenance.

    Abstract Viral infection is an indisputable causal factor for nearly 17% of all human cancers. However, the diversity and complexity of oncogenic mechanisms raises new questions as to the mechanistic role of viruses in cancer. Classical viral oncogenes have been identified for all tumor-associated viruses. These oncogenes can have multiple oncogenic activities that may or may not be utilized in a particular tumor cell. In addition, stochastic events, like viral mutation and integration, as well as heritable host susceptibilities and immune deficiencies are also implicated in tumorigenesis. A more contemporary view of tumor biology highlights the importance of evolutionary forces that select for phenotypes better adapted to a complex and changing environment. Given the challenges of prioritizing singular mechanistic causes, it may be necessary to integrate concepts from evolutionary theory and systems biology to better understand viral cancer-driving forces. Here, we propose that viral infection provides a biological "entropy" that increases genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity, accelerating the main driving forces of cancer cell evolution. Viruses can also influence the evolutionary selection criteria by altering the tumor microenvironment and immune signaling. Utilizing concepts from cancer cell evolution, population genetics, thermodynamics, and systems biology may provide new perspectives on viral oncogenesis and identify novel therapeutic strategies for treating viruses and cancer.

    Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes lifelong asymptomatic infection by replication of its chromatinized episomes with the host genome. EBV exhibits different latency-associated transcriptional repertoires, each with distinct three-dimensional structures. CTCF, Cohesin and PARP1 are involved in maintaining viral latency and establishing episome architecture. Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) represents 1.3-30.9% of all gastric cancers globally. EBV-positive gastric cancers exhibit an intermediate viral transcription profile known as 'Latency II', expressing specific viral genes and noncoding RNAs. In this study, we investigated the impact of PARP1 inhibition on CTCF/Cohesin binding in Type II latency. We observed destabilization of the binding of both factors, leading to a disrupted three-dimensional architecture of the episomes and an altered viral gene expression. Despite sharing the same CTCF binding profile, Type I, II and III latencies exhibit different 3D structures that correlate with variations in viral gene expression. Additionally, our analysis of H3K27ac-enriched interactions revealed differences between Type II latency episomes and a link to cellular transformation through docking of the EBV genome at specific sites of the Human genome, thus promoting oncogene expression. Overall, this work provides insights into the role of PARP1 in maintaining active latency and novel mechanisms of EBV-induced cellular transformation.

    Abstract Nidogen 1 (NID1) is an important basement membrane protein secreted by many cell types. We previously found that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection rapidly induced chromosome 1 breaks and that the basement membrane protein NID1, encoded near the 1q42 break site, was downregulated. We have now determined that the specific breaks in and of themselves did not regulate NID1, rather interactions between several viral proteins and the cellular machinery and DNA regulated NID1. We screened a battery of viral proteins present by 24 hours postinfection (hpi) when regulation was induced, including components of the incoming virion and immediate early (IE) proteins. Adenovirus (Ad) delivery of the tegument proteins pp71 and UL35 and the IE protein IE1 influenced steady-state (ss) NID1 levels. IE1's mechanism of regulation was unclear, while UL35 influenced proteasomal regulation of ss NID1. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) experiments determined that pp71 downregulated

    Abstract Importance: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latency is controlled by epigenetic silencing by DNA methylation [5-methyl cytosine (5mC)], histone modifications, and chromatin looping. However, how they dictate the transcriptional program in EBV-associated gastric cancers remains incompletely understood. EBV-associated gastric cancer displays a 5mC hypermethylated phenotype. A potential treatment for this cancer subtype is the DNA hypomethylating agent, which induces EBV lytic reactivation and targets hypermethylation of the cellular DNA. In this study, we identified a heterogeneous pool of EBV epialleles within two tumor-derived gastric cancer cell lines that are disrupted with a hypomethylating agent. Stochastic DNA methylation patterning at critical regulatory regions may be an underlying mechanism for spontaneous reactivation. Our results highlight the critical role of epigenetic modulation on EBV latency and life cycle, which is maintained through the interaction between 5mC and the host protein CCCTC-binding factor.

    Abstract Epigenetic mechanisms play a fundamental role in generating diverse and heritable patterns of viral and cellular gene expression. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can adopt a variety of gene expression programs that are necessary for long-term viral persistence and latency in multiple host-cell types and conditions. The latent viral genomes assemble into chromatin structures with different histone and DNA modifications patterns that control viral gene expression. Variations in nucleosome organization and chromatin conformations can also influence gene expression by coordinating physical interactions between different regulatory elements. The viral-encoded and host-cell factors that control these epigenetic features are beginning to be understood at the genome-wide level. These epigenetic regulators can also influence viral pathogenesis by expanding tissue tropism, evading immune detection, and driving host-cell carcinogenesis. Here, we review some of the recent findings and perspectives on how the EBV epigenome plays a central role in viral latency and viral-associated carcinogenesis.
