Rescue of adult hippocampal neurogenesis in a mouse model of HIV neurologic disease
The prevalence of central nervous system (CNS) neurologic dysfunction associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to increase, despite the use of antiretroviral therapy.

During disease progression to AIDS, HIV-1 infected individuals become increasingly immunosuppressed and susceptible to opportunistic infections. It has also been demonstrated that multiple subsets of dendritic cells (DC), including DC-SIGN⁺ cells, become

Positive In Vivo Selection of the HIV‐1 Envelope Protein gp120 Occurs at Surface‐Exposed Regions [PDF]
The rapid evolution of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope represents a major challenge to vaccine and drug development, particularly because the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. To explore whether distinct patterns of positive selection within the envelope glycoprotein (gp) 120 exist and are associated with functionally ...

Effect of naringin on gp120-induced injury mediated by P2X7 receptors in rat primary cultured microglia. [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein 120 has been shown to activate microglia, causing release of inflammatory and toxic factors.

Role of the transcription factor E2F1 in CXCR4-mediated neurotoxicity and HIV neuropathology
This study sought to determine the role of the transcription factor E2F1 in CXCR4-mediated neurotoxicity and HIV neuropathology. We studied the effect of the HIV envelope protein gp120 on the expression of E2F1-dependent apoptotic proteins in human and ...

M‐tropic HIV envelope protein gp120 exhibits a different neuropathological profile than T‐tropic gp120 in rat striatum [PDF]
AbstractMost early human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) strains are macrophage (M)‐tropic HIV variants and use the chemokine receptor CCR5 for infection. Neuronal loss and dementia are less severe among individuals infected with M‐tropic strains.

Generation and characterization of a bivalent protein boost for future clinical trials: HIV-1 subtypes CR01_AE and B gp120 antigens with a potent adjuvant. [PDF]
The RV144 Phase III clinical trial with ALVAC-HIV prime and AIDSVAX B/E subtypes CRF01_AE (A244) and B (MN) gp120 boost vaccine regime in Thailand provided a foundation for the future development of improved vaccine strategies that may afford protection ...

Amelioration of Neurotoxic Effects of HIV Envelope Protein gp120 by Fibroblast Growth Factor: A Strategy for Neuroprotection [PDF]
Approximately two thirds of patients with human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis (HIVE) show cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration, while one third are cognitively unimpaired and their neuronal populations are preserved. Thus, it is possible that these individuals might have the capacity to produce neurotrophic factors capable of protecting ...
