http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/15878864http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8) is the etiologic agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, an endothelial neoplasm. This gamma-herpesvirus encodes for several unique proteins that alter target cell function, including the virion envelope-associated glycoprotein B (gB). Glycoprotein B has an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) motif at the extracellular amino terminus region and binds to the alpha3beta1 surface integrin, which enhances virus entry. We now report that gB can activate the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR-3) on the surface of microvascular endothelial cells and trigger receptor signaling, which can modulate endothelial migration and proliferation. Furthermore, we observed that VEGFR-3 expression and activation enhance KSHV infection and participate in KSHV-mediated transformation. These functional changes in the endothelium may contribute to the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma and suggest that interventions that inhibit gB activation of VEGFR-3 could be useful in the treatment of this neoplasm."xsd:string
