I see you're participating in the 4th Congress on Autoimmunity in Signapore, Dr Marshall.
http://www2.kenes.com/aca/Pages/Home.aspx
Interesting to see that Yehuda Shoenfeld from Israel will be talking about the role of infection in autoimmunity. I wonder to what extent his views on this topic were affected by some of your previous talks and work.

I also see you'll be giving a presentation on autoimmune disease succembing to a VDR nuclear receptor agonist and chairing the Autoimmunity and Etiology talks.
Hope there's alot of interest in your material.
Rico

Trevor, I just ran into a paper that almost blew my skull wide open ...
PMID: 12736433 These guys state the following:
Partial nucleotide sequence (527 bp) obtained from differentially displayed PCR fragments showed 88.7% similarity with the 23S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.
Unexpectedly, the 5' portion (1-333 bp) of the sequence shared 96.1% similarity with 5' untranslated region (UTR) of human prostate tumor inducing gene 1 (PTI-1).
I am not sure if this bug lives in humans, but if so, it is maybe interesting to use along with the E. Coli example of how Bacterial genes might interfere with the workings of the human genome, cuasing all sorts of problems we now call chronic disease.

Oh wow,
It turns out to be Mycoplasma M. hyorhinis. Look at this paper next:
Persistent exposure to Mycoplasma induces malignant transformation of human prostate cells.
Namiki K, Goodison S, Porvasnik S, Allan RW, Iczkowski KA, Urbanek C, Reyes L, Sakamoto N, Rosser CJ.
Department of Urology, The University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Recent epidemiologic, genetic, and molecular studies suggest infection and inflammation initiate certain cancers, including those of the prostate. The American Cancer Society, estimates that approximately 20% of all worldwide cancers are caused by infection. Mycoplasma, a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall, are among the few prokaryotes that can grow in close relationship with mammalian cells, often without any apparent pathology, for extended periods of time. In this study, the capacity of Mycoplasma genitalium, a prevalent sexually transmitted infection, and Mycoplasma hyorhinis, a mycoplasma found at unusually high frequency among patients with AIDS, to induce a malignant phenotype in benign human prostate cells (BPH-1) was evaluated using a series of in vitro and in vivo assays. After 19 weeks of culture, infected BPH-1 cells achieved anchorage-independent growth and increased migration and invasion. Malignant transformation of infected BPH-1 cells was confirmed by the formation of xenograft tumors in athymic mice. Associated with these changes was an increase in karyotypic entropy, evident by the accumulation of chromosomal aberrations and polysomy.
This is the first report describing the capacity of M. genitalium or M. hyorhinis infection to lead to the malignant transformation of benign human epithelial cells and may serve as a model to further study the relationship between prostatitis and prostatic carcinogenesis.
