Identification of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor as a Barrier to HIV-1 Infection and Outgrowth in CD4 <sup>+</sup> T-Cells
2022-10-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) identifies “ non-pathogenic ” Th17-polarized CD4 + T-cells in autoimmune models. Thus, we explored whether AhR restricts HIV-1 in Th17-cells, consistent with its antiviral role in macrophages. AhR-specific CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout and pharmacological blockade decreased AhR target gene expression (CYP1A1/IL-22/IL-17A/IL-10/ ITGB7), while increasing HIV-1...
