Abstract

We demonstrate that HIV attachment inhibitors (AIs) prevent HIV envelope-induced destruction of two neuronal cell lines (SH-SY5Y and BE(2)-M17) at low nanomolar concentrations. The fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide and the CCR5 inhibitors UK427,857 and TAK779 do not display protection activity, suggesting the involvement of Env/cell interaction site(s) distinct from the sites involved in the viral entry process. We surmise that by inducing conformation changes in the envelope, AIs likely obstruct novel interactions with a neuronal cell factor(s) required for induction of apoptosis. This antiretroviral class may therefore have the potential to inhibit HIV-induced neuron damage, thereby curtailing the increasing incidence of HIV-associated cognitive impairment.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
