A functional genomics approach to viral-host interactions for HIV
New screening methodologies developed over the past five years, based on a revolution in understanding the biology of double-stranded DNA and RNA interference, provide the tools for genetic screening of mammalian cells. HIV is a straightforward RNA virus, and the challenge our team has tackled is to identify the host proteins the virus needs to replicate using short strands of small interfering...
متن کاملParallel Accelerated Vector Similarity Calculations for Genomics Applications
The surge in availability of genomic data holds promise for enabling determination of genetic causes of observed individual traits, with applications to problems such as discovery of the genetic roots of phenotypes, be they molecular phenotypes such as gene expression or metabolite concentrations, or complex phenotypes such as diseases. However, the growing sizes of these datasets and the quadr...
متن کاملModelling HIV-1 2-LTR dynamics following raltegravir intensification
A model of reservoir activation and viral replication is introduced accounting for the production of 2-LTR HIV-1 DNA circles following antiviral intensification with the HIV integrase inhibitor raltegravir, considering contributions of de novo infection events and exogenous sources of infected cells, including quiescent infected cell activation. The model shows that a monotonic increase in meas...
متن کاملLong-term transgene expression and inhibition of HIV-1 replication by a Cre/loxP-EBNA-1/oriP HIV-1-dependent ribozyme vector: Applications for HIV-1 gene therapy
The cleavage of target mRNA by ribozymes is being exploited as a means of gene silencing in nucleic-acid-based therapies. We previously established an HIV-1-dependent ribozyme-expression vector system, based on Cre-loxP technology with an LTR-gag-p17 promoter as a molecular switch for use in acute HIV-1 infection. The simultaneous expression of the Cre protein and loxP homologous recombination ...
متن کاملToward the Development of a Single-Round Infection Assay Based on EGFP Reporting for Anti-HIV-1 Drug Discovery
Background: The rapid increase of HIV-1 strains resistant to current antiretroviral drugs is a challenge for successful AIDS therapy. This necessitates the development of novel drugs, and to this end, availability of screening systems for in vitro drug discovery is a priority. Herein, we report the modification of a previously developed system for increased sensitivity, ease of use, and cost-ef...
