Nef Induces Multiple Genes Involved in Cholesterol Synthesis and Uptake in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-Infected T Cells
13 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Several recent reports indicate that cholesterol might play an important role in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication. We investigated the effects of HIV-1 infection on cholesterol biosynthesis and uptake using microarrays. HIV-1 increased gene expression of cholesterol genes in both transformed T-cell lines and primary CD4(+) T cells. Consistent with our microarray data, (14)C-labeled...
