Ephedrine enhances HIV-1 reactivation from latency through elevating tumor necrosis factor receptor II (TNFRII) expression

Heliyon, 2019
HIV-1 persists during antiretroviral therapy (ART) due to long-lived and proliferating latently-infected host cells, with the outcome being an incomplete cure. The latently-infected cells, or reservoir cells, are transcriptionally absent and invisible to

DMS‐MaPseq and DREEM Analyses Implicate the Critical Role of RNA Structural Dynamics in Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus Pathogenicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RNA structural profiling of Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus by DMS‐MaPseq and DREEM analyses uncover that viral genome‐wide RSS is highly complicated and heterogeneous, with alternative RSSs widely distributed across the genome. Notably, the viral 3’ tRNA‐like structure adopts alternative conformations in vivo.

Epigenetic Regulation of HIV-1 Sense and Antisense Transcription in Response to Latency-Reversing Agents

Non-Coding RNA, 2023
Nucleosomes positioned on the HIV-1 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR) regulate sense transcription as well as the establishment and maintenance of latency. A negative-sense promoter (NSP) in the 3′ LTR expresses antisense transcripts with coding and non-coding activities. Previous studies identified cis-acting elements that modulate NSP activity.

HSV-2 triggers upregulation of MALAT1 in CD4+ T cells and promotes HIV latency reversal

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) coinfection is associated with increased HIV-1 viral loads and expanded tissue reservoirs, but the mechanisms are not well defined.

PARP1 Might Substitute HSF1 to Reactivate Latent HIV-1 by Binding to Heat Shock Element

Cells, 2022
At present, the barrier to HIV-1 functional cure is the persistence of HIV-1 reservoirs. The “shock (reversing latency) and kill (antiretroviral therapy)” strategy sheds light on reducing or eliminating the latent reservoir of HIV-1. However, the current

Mental health measures among adolescents in 12 low‐ and middle‐income countries: Measurement invariance and cross‐sectional analyses of Disrupting Harm survey data

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nationally representative mental health data in adolescents from low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) are scarce. This study aimed to examine mental health and wellbeing indicators amongst adolescents in 12 LMICs across Eastern and Southern Africa and Southeast Asia. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of data involving 12,

NF-κB sub-pathways and HIV cure: A revisit

EBioMedicine, 2021
HIV cure is thwarted by the presence of quiescent yet replication competent HIV-1 (HIV). Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is unable to eradicate reservoirs, and upon cessation of ART, HIV will rebound.

Associations between health care access and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms among rural and urban lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adults

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals experience elevated rates of trauma exposure, minority stress, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet, research examining how geographic location and LGBTQ+ identity shape PTSD outcomes is scant, particularly studies considering structural facilitators and barriers ...

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...
