CD4T lymphocyte subsets and disease manifestation in children with and without HIV born to HIV-1 infected mothers.
OBJECTIVE To understand the natural history of HIV-1 infection in children in terms of evolution of childhood clinical manifestations versus the immune status, we prospectively studied children with and without maternally transmitted HIV-1 infection born to mothers infected with HIV-1 for two years between March 1998 and March 2000. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING An institutiona...
متن کاملAutophagy restricts HIV-1 infection
Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus that targets cells from the immune system such as the CD4 T lymphocytes, the macrophages and the dendritic cells (DCs). Although these host cells possess various defense mechanisms to fight this infection, HIV-1 has evolved multiple strategies to counteract them. For the past ten years, researchers have been focused on the identificati...
متن کاملAutophagy: Press and Push for Destruction
Recent publications illustrate an extensive crosstalk between the actin cytoskeleton and autophagy, a program for self-digestion. Actin polymerization provides a pushing force for organelle shaping and trafficking during autophagy, but the cytoskeleton is also targeted by autophagy under mechanical strain.
متن کاملDual role of autophagy in HIV-1 replication and pathogenesis
Autophagy, the major mechanism for degrading long-lived intracellular proteins and organelles, is essential for eukaryotic cell homeostasis. Autophagy also defends the cell against invasion by microorganisms and has important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Increasingly evident is that HIV-1 replication is dependent on select components of autophagy. Fittingly, HIV-1 proteins are able to...
متن کاملCanonical and Non-Canonical Autophagy in HIV-1 Replication Cycle
Autophagy is a lysosomal-dependent degradative process essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and is a key player in innate and adaptive immune responses to intracellular pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). In HIV-1 target cells, autophagy mechanisms can (i) selectively direct viral proteins and viruses for degradation; (ii) participate in the processing and ...
