Heme-Induced Macrophage Phenotype Switching and Impaired Endogenous Opioid Homeostasis Correlate with Chronic Widespread Pain in HIV

Cells, 2023
Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is associated with a high rate of disability and decreased quality of life in people with HIV-1 (PWH). We previously showed that PWH with CWP have increased hemolysis and elevated plasma levels of cell-free heme, which ...

Heme attenuates beta-endorphin levels in leukocytes of HIV positive individuals with chronic widespread pain

Redox Biology, 2020
The prevalence of chronic widespread pain (CWP) in people with HIV is high, yet the underlying mechanisms are elusive. Leukocytes synthesize the endogenous opioid, β-endorphin, within their endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
