Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes 3 genes that
are homologous to cellular chemokines. vMIP-III, the product of open
reading frame K4.1, is the most distantly related to human chemokines
and has yet to be characterized. We have examined the interaction of
vMIP-III with chemokine receptors, its expression in KS lesions, and
its in ovo angiogenic properties. We show expression of vMIP-III in KS
lesions and demonstrate the stimulation of angiogenesis by this
chemokine, like vMIP-I and vMIP-II, in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. vMIP-III does not block human immunodeficiency virus
entry through the coreceptors CCR3, CCR5, or CXCR4. However, vMIP-III
is an agonist for the cellular chemokine receptor CCR4. CCR4 is
expressed by TH2-type T cells. Consistent with this, vMIP-III preferentially chemoattracts this cell type. Because of these biologic
properties and because it is expressed in KS lesions, vMIP-III may play
an important role in the pathobiology of KS.
