HIV-1 Tat and cocaine impact mitochondrial epigenetics: effects on DNA methylation
24 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the psychostimulant drug cocaine are known to induce epigenetic changes in DNA methylation that are linked with the severity of viral replication and disease progression, which impair neuronal functions. Increasing evidence suggests that changes in DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation occur in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and represent mitochondrial genome...
