Development of Adipose Derived Stems Cells System for HCMV latency
NIAID - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
About This Grant
Project Summary/Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that establishes lifelong latency and poses a serious threat to immunocompromised individuals and developing fetuses. A major barrier to developing effective antiviral therapies is our limited understanding of the mechanisms governing HCMV latency, due in part to challenges in modeling this process in physiologically relevant human cells. This R03 project proposes to establish adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) as a novel, scalable, and biologically relevant in vitro model of HCMV latency. We will define the conditions under which ADSCs support latent infection and compare their transcriptional program to established latency models using RNA sequencing. This research will advance our understanding of HCMV latency and provide a critical tool for future studies aimed at developing therapies to prevent viral reactivation in vulnerable populations.
