Inhibition of the Dead Box RNA Helicase 3 prevents HIV-1 Tat and cocaine-induced neurotoxicity by targeting microglia activation
2019-03-29
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND) is commonly seen in HIV-infected patients. Viral proteins including Tat cause neuronal toxicity and is worsened by drugs of abuse. To uncover potential targets for anti-HAND therapy, we employed a literature mining system, MOLIERE. Here, we validated Dead Box RNA Helicase 3 (DDX3) as a target to treat HAND via a selective DDX3 inhibitor, RK-33. The combined neurotoxi...
