Gene variation in IL-7 receptor (IL-7R)α affects IL-7R response in CD4+ T cells in HIV-infected individuals
Optimal CD4+ T cell recovery after initiating combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) in HIV infection reduces risk of morbidity and mortality. T-allele homozygosity ('TT') in the single nucleotide polymorphism, rs6897932(C/T), in the IL-7 receptor α (IL-7RA) is associated with faster CD4+ T cell recovery after cART initiation compared to C-allele homozygosity in rs6897932 ('CC'). However, ...
متن کاملHIV regulation of the IL-7R: a viral mechanism for enhancing HIV-1 replication in human macrophages in vitro.
We report a novel mechanism, involving up-regulation of the interleukin (IL)-7 cytokine receptor, by which human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) enhances its own production in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) in vitro. HIV-1 infection or treatment of MDM cultures with exogenous HIV-1 Tat(86) protein up-regulates the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) alpha-chain at the levels of steady-state RNA, protein, an...

globally, there were an estimated 33.2 million (estimate range, 30.6–36.1 million) people living with hiv infection or aids in 2007, an increase from 29.5 million in 2001.1 this retrovirus infections, unknown up to 30 years ago has already caused nearly 25 million deaths. the annual incidence of new hiv infections declined from an estimated 3.0 million in 2001 to an estimated 2.7 million (est...
متن کاملIL-15 sustains IL-7R-independent ILC2 and ILC3 development
The signals that maintain tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in different microenvironments are incompletely understood. Here we show that IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) is not strictly required for the development of any ILC subset, as residual cells persist in the small intestinal lamina propria (siLP) of adult and neonatal Il7ra-/- mice. Il7ra-/- ILC2 primarily express an ST2- phenotype, but...
متن کاملEditorial Tuberculous pericarditis and HIV infection
Approximately 8 million new cases of tuberculosis were reported to the World Health Organization in 1997, and millions are infected with HIV and tuberculosis. Tuberculous (TB) pericarditis is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa, where tuberculosis is the most common opportunistic infection complicating HIV infection, and is seen occasionally in developed countries. It is likely to increase worldwi...
