Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome/pyroptosis by protease inhibitor atazanavir at high concentrations is mediated through mitochondrial dysfunction
2024-06-19
Abstract excerpt
Protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral therapy increases CD4 and CD8 cell counts through anti-apoptosis mechanism. However, there are emerging reports that PIs could have pro-apoptotic effects; thus, PIs may have biphasic effect on apoptosis. We hypothesized that PI-induced apoptosis may be mediated through PI-induced mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS...
