Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that autophagy is an important component in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication and in the combined morphine-induced neuroinflammation in human astrocytes and microglia. Here we further studied the consequences of autophagy using glial cells of mice partially lacking the essential autophagy gene Atg6 (Beclin1) exposed to HIV Tat and morphine. Tat is known to cause an inflammatory...
