HIV-1 infection modulates IL-24 expression which contributes to cell apoptosis IN VITRO.
Cell Biology International 2019 Februrary 14
Although interleukin-24 (IL-24) has been extensively explored in the immunopathologies of autoimmune diseases, neoplasms, and infections, its role in HIV-1 infection has not been thoroughly elucidated to date. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the gene and protein expressions of IL-24 at the initial moments of HIV infection in PBMCs. Due to the pro-apoptotic role of IL-24, we evaluated the protein expression of caspase-3, as well as Annexin V/ Propidium Iodide flow cytometry and phosphorylation of ERK, which may induce an apoptotic signal block when phosphorylated. The results of this study demonstrated that HIV-1 infection had an impact on the gene and protein expressions of IL-24 and ERK. Annexin V/ Propidium Iodide assay demonstrated decrease in the mechanisms of apoptosis in infected cells after incubation of IL-24 neutralizing antibody Studies on how HIV-1 regulates IL-24 expression may play a role in characterizing viral persistence mechanisms and designing antiretroviral strategies.
