Macrophage infection by HIV-1 is inefficient due to the presence of the viral restriction factor sterile alpha motif and histidine aspartic acid domain containing protein 1 (SAMHD1). <i>Ex vivo</i> human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) express SAMHD1 in an equilibrium between active (unphosphorylated) and inactive (phosphorylated) states. We and others have shown that treatment of MDMs with the FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor, dasatinib, ablates SAMHD1 phosphorylation, thus skewing the balance towards a cellular state that is refractory to HIV-1 infection. We hypothesized that dasatinib inhibits a putative tyrosine kinase that is upstream of SAMHD1. In search for this tyrosine kinase, we probed several candidates and were unable to identify a single target that, when inhibited, was sufficient to explain the dephosphorylation of SAMHD1 we observe upon treatment with dasatinib. On the other hand, we probed the ability of dasatinib to directly inhibit the serine/threonine cyclin dependent kinases 1, 2, 4 and 6 and confirmed that dasatinib directly inhibits these kinases. Therefore, our results show that inhibition of the proximal CDKs 1, 2, 4 and 6 by dasatinib is clearly detectable, leads to blockade of infection by HIV-1, and may be sufficient to explain the activity of dasatinib against SAMHD1 phosphorylation.</p>","PeriodicalId":72627,"journal":{"name":"Clinical research in HIV/AIDS","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9802671/pdf/nihms-1858679.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10062365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is still a global epidemic. More than 40 million people died of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) so far. Antiretroviral treatment (ART), among other health care measures, reversed this fatal outcome. The aim of this study was to analyze the survival time of people living with HIV (PLHIV) through national and international studies in a systematic review with meta-analysis. 1.2. Material and Methods: An electronic search was conducted in three databases PubMed, SciELO and ScienceDirect identify original studies about survival time of PLHIV published until 12/31/2018. 1.3. Results: A total of 2,650 entries were retrieved from which 17 studies met the inclusion criteria. The total number of PLHIV included in these studies was 75,020 people. They were performed in 11 countries, with 35.29% of them in Brazil. The overall mean survival time of PLHIV was 6.36 years (95%CI 5.58-7.14; I2=100%; p<0.001). Survival time of PLHIV was higher for those on ART than for those without treatment: an average of 2.4 years and 1,52, respectively. Survival time of PLHIV also increased with higher educational levels and younger age. 1.4. Conclusion: This systematic review with meta-analysis consolidated the scientific evidence that ART increases survival time of PLHIV.","PeriodicalId":72627,"journal":{"name":"Clinical research in HIV/AIDS","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70880836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasingly, it has been realized that HIV-1 infected people on ART have clinical and pathological observations of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like manifestations including neurocognitive problems, intraneuronal accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) protein, and disturbed synaptic integrity. Part of the current challenge facing the medical community and people living with HIV-1 infection is that the pathogenesis of HAND remains unclear, and little is known about how AD-like pathology is developed as a result of HIV-1 infection and/or long-term ART treatment. Here we discuss the potential role of altered plasma cholesterol homeostasis, a prominent feature of HIV-1 infection, on the development of intraneuronal Aβ accumulation in HIV-1 infected brain. We speculate that elevated plasma LDL cholesterol, once it enters brain parenchyma via an increasingly leaky BBB, can be internalized by neurons via receptor-mediated endocytosis, a process that could promote internalization of amyloid beta precursor protein (AβPP). Unlike brain <i>in situ</i> synthesized apoE-cholesterol, apoB-containing LDL-cholesterol could lead to cholesterol accumulation thus disturbing neuronal endolysosome function and ultimately the accumulation of intraneuronal Aβ in HIV-1 infected brain.</p>","PeriodicalId":72627,"journal":{"name":"Clinical research in HIV/AIDS","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6124677/pdf/nihms-977095.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36477100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
