The latent reservoir of inducible, infectious HIV-1 does not decrease despite decades of antiretroviral therapy

NF McMyn, J Varriale, EJ Fray, C Zitzmann… - The Journal of clinical …, 2023 - jci.org
HIV-1 persists in a latent reservoir in resting CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy
(ART). The reservoir decays slowly over the first 7 years of ART (t 1/2= 44 months). However …

Learning from persistent viremia: mechanisms and implications for clinical care and HIV-1 cure

F Wu, FR Simonetti - Current HIV/AIDS Reports, 2023 - Springer
Abstract Purpose of Review In this review, we discuss what persistent viremia has taught us
about the biology of the HIV-1 reservoir during antiretroviral therapy (ART). We will also …

Viral and host mediators of non-suppressible HIV-1 viremia

A Mohammadi, B Etemad, X Zhang, Y Li, GJ Bedwell… - Nature Medicine, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Non-suppressible HIV-1 viremia (NSV) is defined as persistent low-level viremia on
antiretroviral therapy (ART) without evidence of ART non-adherence or significant drug …

[HTML][HTML] KLRG1 expression on natural killer cells is associated with HIV persistence, and its targeting promotes the reduction of the viral reservoir

A Astorga-Gamaza, D Perea, N Sanchez-Gaona… - Cell Reports …, 2023 - cell.com
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection induces immunological dysfunction, which
limits the elimination of HIV-infected cells during treated infection. Identifying and targeting …

Proviral location affects cognate peptide–induced virus production and immune recognition of HIV-1–infected T cell clones

F Dragoni, AK Kwaa, CC Traut, RT Veenhuis… - The Journal of Clinical …, 2023 - jci.org
BACKGROUND HIV-1–infected CD4+ T cells contribute to latent reservoir persistence by
proliferating while avoiding immune recognition. Integration features of intact proviruses in …

Integration site–dependent HIV-1 promoter activity shapes host chromatin conformation

JA Collora, YC Ho - Genome Research, 2023 - genome.cshlp.org
HIV-1 integration introduces ectopic transcription factor binding sites into host chromatin. We
postulate that the integrated provirus serves as an ectopic enhancer that recruits additional …
