HIV-1 Latency and Latency Reversal: Does Subtype Matter? [PDF]
Cells that are latently infected with HIV-1 preclude an HIV-1 cure, as antiretroviral therapy does not target this latent population. HIV-1 is highly genetically diverse, with over 10 subtypes and numerous recombinant forms circulating worldwide. In spite of this vast diversity, much of our understanding of latency and latency reversal is largely based

The role of latency reversal in HIV cure strategies [PDF]
One strategy to eliminate latently infected cells that persist in people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy is to activate virus transcription and virus production to induce virus or immune‐mediated cell death. This is called latency reversal.

Novel Latency Reversal Agents for HIV-1 Cure [PDF]
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has rendered HIV-1 infection a treatable illness; however, ART is not curative owing to the persistence of replication-competent, latent proviruses in long-lived resting T cells. Strategies that target these latently infected cells and allow immune recognition and clearance of this reservoir will be necessary to eradicate ...

Class 1-Selective Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors Enhance HIV Latency Reversal while Preserving the Activity of HDAC Isoforms Necessary for Maximal HIV Gene Expression [PDF]
Combinations of drugs that affect distinct mechanisms of HIV latency aim to induce robust latency reversal leading to cytopathicity and elimination of the persistent HIV reservoir. Thus far, attempts have focused on combinations of protein kinase C (PKC)

HIV-1 Latency and Viral Reservoirs: Existing Reversal Approaches and Potential Technologies, Targets, and Pathways Involved in HIV Latency Studies [PDF]
Eradication of latent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a global health challenge. Reactivation of HIV latency and killing of virus-infected cells, the so-called “kick and kill” or “shock and kill” approaches, are a popular strategy for HIV

Evaluation of EED Inhibitors as a Class of PRC2-Targeted Small Molecules for HIV Latency Reversal [PDF]
A hallmark of human immunodeficiency type-1 (HIV) infection is the integration of the viral genome into host chromatin, resulting in a latent reservoir that persists despite antiviral therapy or immune response. Thus, key priorities toward eradication of

Small Molecule Targeting of Specific BAF (mSWI/SNF) Complexes for HIV Latency Reversal [PDF]
The persistence of a pool of latently HIV-1-infected cells despite combination anti-retroviral therapy treatment is the major roadblock for a cure. The BAF (mammalian SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex is involved in establishing and maintaining viral

Reversal of Latency as Part of a Cure for HIV-1
Trends in Microbiology, 2016Here, the use of pharmacological agents to reverse HIV-1 latency will be explored as a therapeutic strategy towards a cure. However, while clinical trials of latency-reversing agents LRAs) have demonstrated their ability to increase production of latent HIV-1, such interventions have not had an effect on the size of the latent HIV-1 reservoir ...

Synthesis and evaluation of DAG-lactone derivatives with HIV-1 latency reversing activity
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2023Cells latently infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) prevent people living with HIV-1 from obtaining a cure to the infectious disease. Latency reversing agents (LRAs) such as protein kinase C (PKC) activators and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors can reactivate cells latently infected with HIV-1.
