HIV-1 latency reversal agent boosting is not limited by opioid use

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
Abstract The opioid epidemic may impact the HIV-1 reservoir and its reversal from latency in virally suppressed people with HIV (PWH). We studied forty-seven PWH and observed that lowering the concentration of HIV-1 latency reversal agents (LRA), used in combination with small molecules that do not reverse latency ...

HIV LTR-Driven Antisense RNA by Itself Has Regulatory Function and May Curtail Virus Reactivation From Latency

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Latently infected T lymphocytes are an important barrier toward eliminating a persistent HIV infection. Here we describe an HIV-based recombinant fluorescent-lentivirus referred to as “rfl-HIV” that enables to analyze sense and antisense transcription by

TLR7 Agonist GS–9620 Combined with Nicotinamide Generate Viral Reactivation in Seronegative SHIVSF162P3-Infected Rhesus Monkeys

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Antiretroviral therapy is capable of inhibiting HIV replication, but it fails to completely achieve a cure due to HIV persistence. The commonly used HIV cure approach is the “shock and kill” strategy, which employs latency-reversing agents to trigger ...

Distinct chromatin functional states correlate with HIV latency reactivation in infected primary CD4+ T cells

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is currently incurable, due to the persistence of latently infected cells. The ‘shock and kill’ approach to a cure proposes to eliminate this reservoir via transcriptional activation of latent proviruses ...

Pathways towards human immunodeficiency virus elimination

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2020
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Research seeking to transform viral suppression into elimination has generated novel immune, chemical and molecular antiviral agents.

The role of latency reversal agents in the cure of HIV: A review of current data [PDF]

open access: yesImmunology Letters, 2018
The definitive cure for human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV) infection is represented by the eradication of the virus from the patient's body. To reach this result, cells that are infected but do not produce the virus must become recognizable to be killed by the immune system.

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis of romidepsin used as an HIV latency reversing agent

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020
AbstractObjectivesTo develop a population pharmacokinetic model for romidepsin given as an HIV latency reversing agent (LRA) and to explore the relationship between romidepsin exposure and its in vivo effects on viral gene expression and antiviral immunity.MethodsA population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed in 15 HIV-1-infected patients who ...

Engineering CAR T Cells to Target the HIV Reservoir

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
The HIV reservoir remains to be a difficult barrier to overcome in order to achieve a therapeutic cure for HIV. Several strategies have been developed to purge the reservoir, including the “kick and kill” approach, which is based on the notion that ...
