Humanized mouse models for preclinical evaluation of HIV cure strategies.
Although the world is currently focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, HIV/AIDS remains a significant threat to public health. To date, the HIV/AIDS pandemic has claimed the lives of over 36 million people, while nearly 38 million people are currently living with the virus. Despite the undeniable success of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in controlling HIV, the medications are not curative. Soon after initial infection, HIV integrates into the genome of infected cells as a provirus, primarily, within CD4+ T lymphocytes and tissue macrophages. When not actively transcribed, the provirus is referred to as a latent reservoir because it is hidden to the immune system and ART. Following ART discontinuation, HIV may emerge from the replication-competent proviruses and resumes the infection of healthy cells. Thus, these latent reservoirs are a major obstacle to an HIV cure, and their removal remains a priority. A vital aspect in the development of curative therapies is the demonstration of efficacy in an animal model, such as the humanized mouse model. Therefore, optimization, standardization, and validation of the humanized mouse model are a priority. The purpose of this review article is to provide an update on existing humanized mouse models, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each as they pertain to HIV cure studies and to review the approaches to curative therapies that are under investigation.
期刊介绍:
AIDS Reviews publishes papers reporting original scientific, clinical, epidemiologic and social research which contribute to the overall knowledge of the field of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and human retrovirology. Currently, the Journal publishes review articles (usually by invitation, but spontaneous submitted articles will also be considered). Manuscripts submitted to AIDS Reviews will be accepted on the understanding that the authors have not submitted the paper to another journal or published the material elsewhere.
