Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, is transmitted through breast milk and seminal fluid, which are rich in prostaglandins (PGs). We demonstrate that PGE(2) upregulates the HTLV-1 long terminal repeat promoter through the protein kinase A pathway, induces replication of HTLV-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) derived from asymptomatic carriers, and enhances transmission of HTLV-1 to cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC). Furthermore, HTLV-1 Tax transactivates a promoter for cyclooxygenase 2, a PG synthetase, and induces PGE(2) expression in PBMC or CBMC. Thus, HTLV-1 interacts with and benefits from PGs, constituents of its own vehicle for transmission.
