Unlike other HIV-associated cancers, the risk of cervical cancer development does not change when HPV/HIV coinfected women begin antiretroviral therapy, suggesting HIV-associated immune suppression is not a key driver of cervical cancer development in coinfected women. Here, we investigated whether the persistent secretion of inflammatory factors in HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy could enhance cancer signaling in HPV-infected cervical cells <em>via</em> endocrine mechanisms. We integrated previously reported HIV-induced secreted inflammatory factors (Hi-SIFs), HIV and HPV virus–human protein interactions, and cervical cancer patient genomic data using network propagation to understand the pathways underlying disease development in HPV/HIV coinfection. Our results pinpointed the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway to be enriched at the interface between Hi-SIFs and HPV–host molecular networks, in alignment with PI3K pathway mutations being prominent drivers of HPV-associated, but HIV independent, cervical cancer development. Furthermore, we experimentally stimulated cervical cells with 14 Hi-SIFs to assess their ability to activate PI3K-AKT signaling. Strikingly, we found 8 factors (CD14, CXCL11, CXCL9, CXCL13, CXCL17, AHSG, CCL18, and MMP-1) to significantly upregulate AKT phosphorylation (pAKT-S473) relative to a phosphate buffered saline control. Our findings suggest that Hi-SIFs cooperate with HPV infection in cervical cells to over-activate PI3K-AKT signaling, effectively phenocopying PI3K-AKT pathway mutations, resulting in enhanced cervical cancer development in coinfected women.

However, no evidence has been presented on the relationship between liver lipid accumulation and the PARP1 inhibitor, 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), in atherosclerosis. <em>Methods</em>: <em>ApoE</em><small><sup>−/−</sup></small> mice were used to explore the effect of 3-AB on atherosclerotic liver lipid accumulation, and the experiment of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats was designed to determine if the lowering of liver lipid levels by 3-AB was linked to gut bacteria. The levels of bile acid metabolism-related targets were assessed by ELISA, western blotting, and RT-qPCR. The relative abundances of gut microbes and biomarkers were determined using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. Bile acid levels in the liver and ileum were examined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The relationship between gut microbes and bile acids was assessed by Spearman's correlation analysis. <em>Results</em>: 3-AB significantly reduced the formation of aortic plaques in <em>apoE</em><small><sup>−/−</sup></small> mice, according to gross oil red staining. H & E and Oil Red O staining revealed that 3-AB significantly reduced the hepatic lipid droplet area in <em>ApoE</em><small><sup>−/−</sup></small> mice and SD rats.
