Abstract:
:Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) infection leads to penetration of the central nervous system (CNS) in virtually all infected individuals and HIV-1-induced encephalopathy in a significant number of untreated patients. The molecular mechanisms by which HIV-1 enters the CNS and yields CNS dysfunction are still unclear. Our laboratories and others have begun to explore the direct effects of prioritized HIV-1-specific proteins on diverse human CNS cell types. One of these proteins, the accessory HIV-1 protein Vpr, is a critical moiety in these studies, and will be discussed in this article.

杂志文章,评审abstract::The mammalian CYP2E1 gene encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme that is markedly increased soon after birth. In vitro evidence suggests that the rat CYP2E1 gene is positively regulated by the transcription factor HNF-1 or a protein displaying DNA-binding properties similar to HNF-1. In contrast to newborn wild-type mice an...
