Endogenous retrotransposon activity supports osteocyte function and links antiretroviral therapy to bone loss
2025-12-27
Abstract excerpt
Retrotansposable elements such as LINE-1 and HERV-K encode endogenous reverse transcriptases (RTs) with emerging roles in human biology. People living with HIV, particularly those receiving nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-based therapy, have increased risk of low bone mineral density (BMD), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that endogenous RT activity, estimated by L1-Ta...
