Vitamin D Decreases Susceptibility of CD4+ T Cells to HIV Infection by Reducing AKT Phosphorylation and Glucose Uptake: A Bioinformatic and In Vitro Approach
2024-12-24
Abstract excerpt
Activated immune cells are highly susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Vitamin D (VitD) induces antimicrobial responses and reduces cellular activation. We investigated VitD effects on HIV-1 replication, glucose uptake, and gene regulation using computational and in vitro approaches. CD4+ T-cells from healthy male donors were treated with VitD and infected with HIV-1. After 72 hours, p24 pr...
