Capsaicin activates TRPV1 in human Langerhans cells and inhibits mucosal HIV-1 transmission via secreted CGRP

2021-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Upon its mucosal transmission, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) rapidly targets resident antigen-presenting Langerhans cells (LCs) in genital epithelia, which subsequently trans-infect CD4+ T-cells. We previously described an inhibitory neuro-immune sensory mucosal crosstalk, whereby peripheral pain-sensing nociceptor neurons, innervating all mucosal epithelia and associating with LCs, secret the neurop...
