Blood-Brain Barrier Abnormalities Caused by HIV-1 gp120: Mechanistic and Therapeutic Implications [PDF]

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is compromised in many systemic and CNS diseases, including HIV-1 infection of the brain. We studied BBB disruption caused by HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein 120 (gp120) as a model.

HIV-1 gp120 mannoses induce immunosuppressive responses from dendritic cells.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2007
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein gp120 is a vaccine immunogen that can signal via several cell surface receptors.

HIV-gp120

open access: yes, 2021
Deciphering the glycosylation of viral envelope (Env) glycoprotein is critical for evaluating viral invasion and the host’s immune response, and developing preventive vaccines and antiviral drugs.

Novel Cell type-specific aptamer-siRNA delivery system for HIV-1 therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The successful use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for therapeutic purposes requires safe and efficient delivery to specific cells and tissues. Here we demonstrate cell type-specific delivery of anti-HIV siRNAs via fusion to an anti-gp120 aptamer. The

Effect of naringin on gp120-induced injury mediated by P2X7 receptors in rat primary cultured microglia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein 120 has been shown to activate microglia, causing release of inflammatory and toxic factors.

The HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 is captured and displayed for B cell recognition by SIGN-R1+ lymph node macrophages

open access: yeseLife, 2015
The HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 is both the target of neutralizing antibodies and a major focus of vaccine efforts; however how it is delivered to B cells to elicit an antibody response is unknown.

Entry Inhibitors Directed Towards Glycoprotein gp120: An Overview on a Promising Target for HIV-1 Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In spite of the unquestionable positive impact of HAART in the treatment of HIV infection, the discovery and development of novel agents directed towards other targets of the replicative cycle of the virus that differ from those targeted by the ...

HIV-1gp120 induces neuronal apoptosis through enhancement of 4-aminopyridine-senstive outward K+ currents. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-associated dementia (HAD) usually occurs late in the course of HIV-1 infection and the mechanisms underlying HAD pathogenesis are not well understood. Accumulating evidence indicates that neuronal voltage-gated

Endocytic Trafficking of HIV gp120 is Mediated by Dynamin and Plays a Role in gp120 Neurotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, 2017
Neurons that endocytose the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) protein gp120 exhibit neurite retraction and activation of caspase-3, suggesting that the endocytic process may be crucial for gp120-mediated neuronal injury. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that internalization and accumulation of gp120 play a role in its neurotoxic effects.
