Inhibition of protein kinase R suppresses HIV replication and integration in CD4 T cells
Evaluation of CD4 T cell status in early HIV infection is critical for developing strategies targeting HIV replication. In this study, we infected CD4 T cells with HIV-1 and investigated the cell survival mechanisms in HIV-infected versus uninfected cells during early HIV infection. Notably, HIV-infected CD4 T cells exhibited elevated levels of phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha (p-eIF2α) compared to uninfected cells. Importantly, inhibition of protein kinase R (PKR) in HIV-infected cells significantly suppressed HIV p24 protein expression by disrupting HIV reverse transcription and integration. These results suggest that targeting PKR could be a promising therapeutic approach against HIV infection.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virus Eradication aims to provide a specialist, open-access forum to publish work in the rapidly developing field of virus eradication. The Journal covers all human viruses, in the context of new therapeutic strategies, as well as societal eradication of viral infections with preventive interventions.
The Journal is aimed at the international community involved in the prevention and management of viral infections. It provides an academic forum for the publication of original research into viral reservoirs, viral persistence and virus eradication and ultimately development of cures.
The Journal not only publishes original research, but provides an opportunity for opinions, reviews, case studies and comments on the published literature. It focusses on evidence-based medicine as the major thrust in the successful management of viral infections.The Journal encompasses virological, immunological, epidemiological, modelling, pharmacological, pre-clinical and in vitro, as well as clinical, data including but not limited to drugs, immunotherapy and gene therapy. It is an important source of information on the development of vaccine programs and preventative measures aimed at virus eradication.
