Both glomerular and tubular lesions are characterized by a proliferative phenotype in HIV-associated nephropathy. We hypothesized that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) contributes to the development of the HIVAN phenotype. Both glomerular and tubular epithelial cells showed enhanced expression of phospho (p)-mTOR in HIV-1 transgenic mice (Tgs). In addition, renal tissues of transgenic mice (RT-Tg) showed...
