摘要: Summary Impaired adult neurogenesis has been observed in several neurodegenerative diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1)-associated dementia (HAD). Here we report that the HIV-envelope glycoprotein gp120, which is associated with HAD pathogenesis, inhibits proliferation of neural progenitor cells (aNPCs) vitro and vivo dentate gyrus hippocampus HIV/gp120-transgenic mice. We demonstrate HIV/gp120 arrests cell-cycle progression aNPCs at G1 phase via a cascade consisting p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) → MAPK-activated 2 (a checkpoint kinase) Cdc25B/C. Our findings define molecular mechanism compromises this disorder.
