HIV gp120 induces TREM1 expression through TLR–PGE₂ signalling in human monocyte-derived microglia [PDF]

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Microglia serve as a long-lived reservoir for HIV in the brain and are resistant to the cytopathic effects of infection. As such, they pose a significant barrier to eradication strategies and contribute to chronic neuroinflammation in people living with ...

Quercetin ameliorates HIV-1 gp120 protein-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction by inhibiting the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway in a Caco-2 cell model [PDF]

AIDS Research and Therapy
Background People living with HIV (PLWH) frequently experience non-AIDS comorbidities, driven in part by persistent intestinal barrier dysfunction and systemic inflammation.

Highly efficient production of HIV-1AD8 gp120 in mammalian cells [PDF]

Journal of Virology
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins (Envs) interact with the CD4 receptor and CCR5/CXCR4 coreceptor expressed on target cells to mediate viral entry. Infection is initiated when the HIV-1 gp120 subunit of Envs binds to host

CD4-Based Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T Cells With Resistance to HIV-1 Infection and Enhanced Anti-HIV Efficacy: Covalent Interaction Between CD4-CAR and HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT The current highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART or ART) effectively suppresses de novo HIV‐1 infection but fails to eliminate HIV reservoir cells, which leads to rapid viral rebound upon ART cessation. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells engineered to target HIV‐1 Env⁺ cells offer a promising strategy to eliminate or control these ...

HIV envelope antigen valency on peptide nanofibers modulates antibody magnitude and binding breadth

Scientific Reports, 2021
A major challenge in developing an effective vaccine against HIV-1 is the genetic diversity of its viral envelope. Because of the broad range of sequences exhibited by HIV-1 strains, protective antibodies must be able to bind and neutralize a widely ...

Discovery of O-Linked Carbohydrate on HIV-1 Envelope and Its Role in Shielding against One Category of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Approximately 50% of the mass of the Envelope (Env) glycoprotein surface subunit (gp120) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is composed of N-linked carbohydrate. Until now, the dogma has been that HIV-1 lacks O-linked carbohydrate on

The influence of N-linked glycans on the molecular dynamics of the HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
N-linked glycans attached to specific amino acids of the gp120 envelope trimer of a HIV virion can modulate the binding affinity of gp120 to CD4, influence coreceptor tropism, and play an important role in neutralising antibody responses.

Human immunodeficiency virus envelope protein Gp120 induces proliferation but not apoptosis in osteoblasts at physiologic concentrations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Patients with HIV infection have decreased numbers of osteoblasts, decreased bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture compared to uninfected patients; however, the molecular mechanisms behind these associations remain unclear.

X4 Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 promotes human hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen I expression through interactions with CXCR4. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Patients coinfected with HIV-1 and HCV develop more rapid liver fibrosis than patients monoinfected with HCV. HIV RNA levels correlate with fibrosis progression implicating HIV directly in the fibrotic process.

HIV-1 inhibitory properties of eCD4-Igmim2 determined using an Env-mediated membrane fusion assay. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) entry is dependent on the envelope glycoprotein (Env) that is present on the virion and facilitates fusion between the envelope and the cellular membrane.
