A Regulatory Polymorphism in HAVCR2 Modulates Susceptibility to HIV-1 Infection
The HAVCR2 gene encodes TIM-3, an immunoglobulin superfamily member expressed by exhausted CD8+ T cells during chronic viral infection. We investigated whether genetic variation at HAVCR2 modulates the susceptibility to HIV-1 acquisition; specifically we focused on a 3' UTR variant (rs4704846, A/G) that represents a natural selection target. We genotyped rs4704846 in three independent cohorts o...
متن کاملKruppel-like factor 2 modulates CCR5 expression and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection.
CCR5, a cell surface molecule critical for the transmission and spread of HIV-1, is dynamically regulated during T cell activation and differentiation. The molecular mechanism linking T cell activation to modulation of CCR5 expression remains undefined. Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is a transcription factor that promotes quiescence, survival, and in part by modulating chemokine receptor levels,...
متن کاملChemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Susceptibility to HIV-1 Infection and Progression to AIDS
A multitude of host genetic factors plays a crucial role in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and progression to AIDS, which is highly variable among individuals and populations. This review focuses on the chemokine-receptor and chemokine genes, which were extensively studied because of their role as HIV co-receptor or co-receptor competitor and influences the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection ...
متن کاملGenetic basis of HIV-1 resistance and susceptibility: an approach to understand correlation between human genes and HIV-1 infection.
HIV infection is the serious medical and public health issue of present generation. By 2005, it has already infected a cumulative total of more than sixty million people worldwide and the number of HIV positive cases are rising day by day. India is currently estimated to have about 5.1 million infected persons with HIV-1 or AIDS (second only to South Africa) and this number could increase to 24...
متن کاملBone Metabolism and HIV Infection
Osteoporosis (OP) is the most widely spread metabolic osteopathy in the Western world, and is defined as a generalised state of the skeletal structure, characterised by a low bone mass and microarchitectural alterations, with an increase in bone fragility and risk of fracture (1). OP is now considered as an evolutive disorder affecting both the mineral and organic components leading to a progre...
