В обзоре представлено описание патофизиологических механизмов герпесвирусной инфекции. Согласно данным медицинской статистики, вирусом простого герпеса 1 типа инфицировано большинство населения планеты. В развивающихся странах данный вирус является ведущей инфекционной причиной поражения роговицы. Также вирусу простого герпеса 1 типа отводится роль одного из факторов, приводящих к отторжению трансплантата роговицы. Вышеописанные патологические явления сопряжены с перестройкой клеточных систем в ответ на вирусное воздействие. Недавние открытия в данной области обнаружили значительный вклад трансмембранных и эндосомальных Toll-подобных рецепторов во врожденный противовирусный клеточный ответ. Показано, что эндосомальные Toll-подобные рецепторы 3 типа экспрессируются в кератоцитах только после их фенотипического перехода в фибробласты. Данная трансформация обычно происходит в результате механических и патогенных воздействий на роговицу. Изменение рецепторного состава клеток в ответ на герпесвирусную инвазию вызывает выработку интерферонов 1 типа - интерферона-альфа, интерферона-бета, и синтезу провоспалительных цитокинов, что приводит к вирусной деконтаминации. This review describes pathophysiological mechanisms of herpes virus infection in cornea cells. It has been previously reported that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infects most of the world’s population. In developing countries, HSV-1 is the leading infectious cause of corneal damage. Also, herpes simplex virus type 1 was assigned the role of one of the factors leading to rejection of the corneal transplant. These pathological phenomena are associated with restructuring of cellular systems in response to viral exposure. Recent discoveries have revealed a significant contribution of transmembrane and endosomal Toll-like receptors to the innate antiviral cell response. It is well known that endosomal Toll-like receptors-3 are expressed in keratocytes only after their phenotypic transformation to fibroblasts. This transformation usually occurs as a result of mechanical or infectious impact on the cornea. Changes in the receptor composition of cells as a response to herpes virus invasion is the main cause of type 1 interferons (interferon-alpha and interferon-beta) production and expression of proinflammatory cytokines, which leads to viral decontamination.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection induces various clinical disorders, such as herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), herpes simplex keratitis (HSK), and genital herpes. In clinical intervention, acyclovir (ACV) is the major therapeutic drug used to suppress HSV-1; however, ACV-resistant strains have gradually increased. In the present study, harringtonine (HT) significantly inhibited infection of HSV-1 as well as two ACV-resistant strains, including HSV-1 blue and HSV-1 153. Time-of-drug addition assay further revealed that HT mainly reduced the early stage of HSV-1 infection. We also demonstrated that HT mainly affected herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) expression as shown by qPCR, Western Blot, and Immunofluorescence. Collectively, HT showed antiviral activity against HSV-1 and ACV-resistant strains by targeting HVEM and could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating HSV-1-induced-pathogenesis.

Since herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection is so widespread, several antiviral drugs have been developed to treat it, among which are uracil nucleosides. However, there are major problems with the current medications such as severe side-effects and drug resistance. Here we present some newly synthesized cyclic and acyclic uracil nucleosides that showed very promising activity against HSV-1 compared to acyclovir.
