Synthetic Polypeptide Derived from Viral Macrophage Inflammatory Protein II Inhibit the Uninfected CD4+ T Cells Apoptosis Induced by HIV-1 Extracellular Nef
Purpose: To evaluate the potential role and cellular mechanism of the CXCR4 antagonist (N15P) derived from the N-terminal of viral macrophage inflammatory protein-II (vMIP-II) on the apoptosis induced by HIV-1 extracellular nef protein in vitro. Method: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and Jurkat cells were treated with HIV-1 nef protein alone or together with N15P at different doses ...
متن کاملIn vitro Delivery of HIV-1 Nef Antigen by Histidine-rich nona-arginine and Latarcin 1 peptide
Introduction: The Nef accessory protein is an attractive antigenic candidate in the development of HIV-1 DNA- or protein-based vaccines. The most crucial disadvantage of DNA and protein-based vaccines is their low immunogenicity, which can be improved by cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) as effective carrier molecules. Methods: In this study, the HIV-1 Nef protein was generated in the Escherichi...
متن کاملTransfer of Intracellular HIV Nef to Endothelium Causes Endothelial Dysfunction
With effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are emerging as a major cause of morbidity and death in the aging HIV-infected population. To address whether HIV-Nef, a viral protein produced in infected cells even when virus production is halted by ART, can lead to endothelial activation and dysfunction, we tested Nef protein transfer to and activity in endothelial c...
متن کاملThe HIV Nef protein modulates cellular and exosomal miRNA profiles in human monocytic cells
INTRODUCTION The HIV Nef protein is a multifunctional virulence factor that perturbs intracellular membranes and signalling and is secreted into exosomes. While Nef-containing exosomes have a distinct proteomic profile, no comprehensive analysis of their miRNA cargo has been carried out. Since Nef functions as a viral suppressor of RNA interference and disturbs the distribution of RNA-induced s...
متن کاملNef Secretion into Extracellular Vesicles or Exosomes Is Conserved across Human and Simian Immunodeficiency Viruses
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) or exosomes have been implicated in the pathophysiology of infections and cancer. The negative regulatory factor (Nef) encoded by simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) plays a critical role in the progression to AIDS and impairs endosomal trafficking. Whether HIV-1 Nef can be loaded into EVs has been the subject of controversy, a...
