There is currently much interest in the numerical and functional loss of antigen-presenting cells (APC) in HIV-1 disease and the contribution that this may make to HIV-1 pathology. The HIV-1 virus can interfere with the normal function of APC in a number of ways involving inappropriate signalling. These include changes in cytokine balance, cell-surface molecule expression and intracellular signalling pathways. This review examines how HIV-1 is able to disregulate APC function and discusses possible outcomes for the function of the immune system.
目前,人们对HIV-1疾病中抗原呈递细胞(APC)的数量和功能丧失以及这可能对HIV-1病理学产生的影响非常感兴趣。HIV-1病毒可通过多种涉及不适当信号传导的方式干扰APC的正常功能。这些包括细胞因子平衡、细胞表面分子表达和细胞内信号通路的变化。本综述探讨了HIV-1如何能够破坏APC功能,并讨论了免疫系统功能的可能结果。
