Harmine enhances the activity of the HIV-1 latency-reversing agents ingenol A and SAHA. [PDF]

open access: yesBiol Open, 2020
Infection of HIV-1 remains incurable because long-lived, latently-infected cells persist during prolonged antiretroviral therapy. Attempts to pharmacologically reactivate and purge the latent reservoir with latency reactivating agents (LRAs) such as protein kinase C (PKC) agonists (e.g. ingenol A) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (e.g.

NSC95397 Is a Novel HIV-1 Latency-Reversing Agent

open access: yesViruses, 2023
The latent viral reservoir represents one of the major barriers to curing HIV-1. Focus on the “kick and kill” (also called “shock and kill”) approach, in which virus expression is reactivated, and then cells producing virus are selectively depleted, has led to the discovery of many latency-reversing agents (LRAs) that have furthered our understanding ...

Novel Latency Reversal Agents for HIV-1 Cure. [PDF]

open access: yesAnnu Rev Med, 2018
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 ...

Optimal Control of an HIV Model with Gene Therapy and Latency Reversing Agents

open access: yesMathematical and Computational Applications, 2021
In this paper, we study the dynamics of HIV under gene therapy and latency reversing agents. While previous works modeled either the use of gene therapy or latency reversing agents, we consider the effects of a combination treatment strategy.

Experimental Systems for Measuring HIV Latency and Reactivation

open access: yesViruses, 2020
The final obstacle to achieving a cure to HIV/AIDS is the presence of latent HIV reservoirs scattered throughout the body. Although antiretroviral therapy maintains plasma viral loads below the levels of detection, upon cessation of therapy, the latent ...

Host Cell Redox Alterations Promote Latent HIV-1 Reactivation through Atypical Transcription Factor Cooperativity

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Immune cell state alterations rewire HIV-1 gene expression, thereby influencing viral latency and reactivation, but the mechanisms are still unfolding.

Determinants of the efficacy of HIV latency-reversing agents and implications for drug and treatment design. [PDF]

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2018
HIV eradication studies have focused on developing latency-reversing agents (LRAs). However, it is not understood how the rate of latent reservoir reduction is affected by different steps in the process of latency reversal. Furthermore, as current LRAs are host-directed, LRA treatment is likely to be intermittent to avoid host toxicities.

Characterization of designed, synthetically accessible bryostatin analog HIV latency reversing agents. [PDF]

open access: yesVirology, 2018
HIV latency in resting CD4+ T cell represents a key barrier preventing cure of the infection with antiretroviral drugs alone. Latency reversing agents (LRAs) can activate HIV expression in latently infected cells, potentially leading to their elimination through virus-mediated cytopathic effects, host immune responses, and/or therapeutic strategies ...
