Herpesvirus is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases, depending on the types of viral infection.
According to viral classification, there are 8 types of the herpes virus, including human herpesvirus 1 which causes cold sores around the mouth. and 2 that causes genital herpes, herpes zoster that causes chickenpox and shingles, Epstein-Barr virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) that causes mononucleosis, Human herpesvirus 6 and 7(HHV6 - 7) that causes roseola and Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) that causes cancer, such as Kaposi's Sarcoma.
According to statistics, in the United States, half of teens and adults under age 50 are still infected with the oral herpes virus, and about 1 in 8 have an infection with the genital herpes virus.
All herpesviruses like other viruses are nuclear-replicating, infecting healthy cells' nuclei through the replication of viral DNA and transcription of viral mRNA.
People infected may experience symptoms of painful sores in the genital area, anus, buttocks, and thighs, itching, painful urination, vaginal discharge,..... and tender lumps in the groin.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive is early in the course of the illness associated with VCA-IgM antibodies caused by EBV infection.
The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), is also known as human gammaherpesvirus 4, one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family.
Unlike other types of the herpes virus, symptoms of EBV may vary, including extreme fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.
Conventionally, there is no specific treatment for EBV. The most common treatment is to improve quality of life by targeting symptoms such as reducing swelling of tissues with corticosteroids
In finding a potential plant with infectious diseases, researchers compared the effects of indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) a natural product found in broadly consumed plants of the Brassica genus, such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, effects on various vegetablesEpstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive
Based on the tested results, I3C efficiently induced apoptosis in cell lines derived from EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphomas (virus latency I/II).
However, I3C did not have any cytotoxic activity against EBV-negative Burkitt's lymphomas and immortalized EBV-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines (virus latency III).
Furthermore, The effect of I3C on cell viability. in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma was attributed to C6-methylated derivative, but not other 3-substituted indoles.
Moreover, 3C treatment caused apoptosis characterized by loss of cancer cell mitochondria membrane potential and caspase activation by alternating the expression of proteins involved in the control of apoptosis and transcription regulation in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines.
Particularly, I3C derivative 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) prolonged survival and reduced tumor burden of mice xenotransplanted with EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma Daudi cells.
Based on the results, researchers said, "These results, together with previous reports from clinical trials indicating the lack of toxicity in humans of I3C and derivatives, support the use of these compounds as a new therapeutic approach for treating patients with endemic (EBV-positive) Burkitt's lymphoma".
Taken altogether, Brassica Genus may be considered anti the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive induced cancer remedy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
