Abstract
Gene therapy-based HIV cure strategies typically aim to excise the HIV provirus directly, or target host dependency factors (HDFs) that support viral persistence. Cure approaches will likely require simultaneous co-targeting of multiple sites within the HIV genome to prevent evolution of resistance, and/or co-targeting of multiple HDFs to fully render host cells refractory to HIV infection. Bulk cell-based methods do not enable inference of co-editing within individual viral or target cell genomes, and do not discriminate between monoallelic and biallelic gene disruption. Here, we describe a targeted single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) platform characterizing the near full-length HIV genome and 50 established HDF genes, designed to evaluate anti-HIV gene therapy strategies. We implemented the platform to investigate the capacity of multiplexed CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes (Cas9-RNPs) to simultaneously 1) inactivate the HIV provirus, and 2) knockout the CCR5 and CXCR4 HDF (entry co-receptor) genes in microglia and primary monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Our scDNA-seq pipeline revealed that antiviral gene editing is rarely observed at multiple loci (or both alleles of a locus) within an individual cell, and editing probabilities across sites are linked. Our results demonstrate that single-cell sequencing is critical to evaluate the true efficacy and therapeutic potential of HIV gene therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to elucidate the multifaceted role of the tumor suppressor protein p53 in the context of HIV infection. We explore how p53, a pivotal regulator of cellular processes, interacts with various facets of the HIV life cycle. Understanding these interactions could provide valuable insights into potential therapeutic interventions and the broader implications of p53 in viral infections. RECENT FINDINGS Recent research has unveiled a complex interplay between p53 and HIV. Several reports have highlighted the involvement of p53 in restricting the replication of HIV within both immune and nonimmune cells. Various mechanisms have been suggested to unveil how p53 enforces this restriction on HIV replication. However, HIV has developed strategies to manipulate p53, benefiting its replication and evading host defenses. In summary, p53 plays a multifaceted role in HIV infection, impacting viral replication and disease progression. Recent findings underscore the importance of understanding the intricate interactions between p53 and HIV for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. Manipulating p53 pathways may offer potential avenues to suppress viral replication and ameliorate immune dysfunction, ultimately contributing to the management of HIV/AIDS. Further research is warranted to fully exploit the therapeutic potential of p53 in the context of HIV infection.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1β is a key innate cytokine that is essential for immune activation and promoting the inflammatory process. However, abnormal elevation in IL-1β levels has been associated with unwanted clinical outcomes. IL-1β is the most extensively studied cytokine among the IL-1 family of cytokines and its role in pathology is well established. During the course of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, the level of this proinflammatory cytokine is increased in different anatomical compartments, particularly in lymphatic tissues, and this elevation is associated with disease progression. The aim of this review is to address the pathological roles play by IL-1β in the light of enhancing HIV-1 replication, driving immune cell depletion, and chronic immune activation. The role of IL-1β in HIV-1 transmission (sexually or vertically 'from mother-to-child') will also be discussed. Additionally, the impact of the available antiretroviral therapy regimens on the levels of IL-1β in HIV-1 treated patients is also discussed. Finally, we will provide a glance on how IL-1β could be targeted as a therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Humoral immunity is seeded by affinity between the B cell receptor (BCR) and cognate antigen. While the BCR is a chimeric display of diverse antigen engagement solutions, we discuss its functional activity as an ‘innate-like’ immune receptor, wherein genetically hardwired antigen complementarity can serve as reproducible templates for pathway-amplifying otherwise immunologically recessive antibody responses. We propose that the capacity for germline reactivity to new antigen emerged as a set of evolutionary spandrels or coupled traits, which can now be exploited by rational vaccine design to focus humoral immunity upon conventionally immune-subdominant antibody targets. Accordingly, we suggest that evolutionary spandrels account for the necessary but unanticipated antigen reactivity of the germline antibody repertoire.

Abstract
In recent years, expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) has been reported to play a detrimental role in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Much effort has been focused to comprehend the mechanisms and factors that regulate the expansion of such unwanted immune cell populations. Of particular interest has been the mechanisms by which MDSCs could contribute to the pathogenesis of HIV infection. So far, the studies have been restricted to MDSCs in the circulatory system of HIV patients, but not in other tissue compartments. In fact, lymphatic tissues/organs are the primary sites where HIV replication and immune depletion/dysfunction occur during the course of HIV infection. Therefore, investigating the anatomical distribution of MDSCs in such compartments is essential to understand the role that they play in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. Hence, we aim to shed light on the available literature about the anatomical distribution of MDSCs during HIV infection and compare it with the distribution of MDSCs in other pathological conditions, mainly cancer.

Abstract
In spite of four decades of research on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus remains a major health problem, affecting tens of millions of people around the world. As such, developing an effective preventive/protective and therapeutic vaccines against HIV are essential to prevent/limit the continuous spread of the virus as well as to control the disease progression and to completely eradicate the virus from HIV infected patients, respectively. There are several factors that have impeded the development of such vaccines, and we need to gain further insight into these factors in order to enhance our knowledge concerning the proper immune activation pathways in the hope of accelerating the development of the highly sought-after vaccine. Recently, new immune cell populations, namely the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), were added to the battle of HIV infection. Indeed, MDSCs seem to play a central role in determining the efficacy of therapeutic and preventive vaccines, especially because vaccines, in general, enhance immune responses, while as a potent immunosuppressor cell population, MDSCs, in turn, subvert and limit the activation of immune responses. Hence, in this work, we sought to address the role of MDSCs in the context of preventive/protective, as well as, therapeutic HIV vaccines.

Abstract
In current scenario, various heterocycles have come up exhibiting crucial role in various medicinal agents which are valuable for mankind. Out of diverse range of heterocycle, quinoline scaffold have been proved to play an important role in broad range of biological activities. Several drug molecules bearing a quinoline molecule with useful anticancer, antibacterial activities etc have been marketed such as chloroquine, saquinavir etc. Owing to their broad spectrum biological role, various synthetic strategies such as Skraup reaction, Combes reaction etc. has been developed by the researchers all over the world. But still the synthetic methods are associated with various limitations as formation of side products, use of expensive metal catalysts. Thus, several efforts to develop an efficient and cost effective synthetic protocol are still carried out till date. Moreover, quinoline scaffold displays remarkable antiviral activity. Therefore, in this review we have made an attempt to describe recent synthetic protocols developed by various research groups along with giving a complete explanation about the role of quinoline derivatives as antiviral agent. Quinoline derivatives were found potent against various strains of viruses like zika virus, enterovirus, herpes virus, human immunodeficiency virus, ebola virus, hepatitis C virus, SARS virus and MERS virus etc.

Abstract
HIV-1 replicates via a low-fidelity polymerase with a high mutation rate; strong conservation of individual nucleotides is highly indicative of the presence of critical structural or functional properties. Identifying such conservation can reveal novel insights into viral behaviour. We analysed 3651 publicly available sequences for the presence of nucleic acid conservation beyond that required by amino acid constraints, using a novel scale-free method that identifies regions of outlying score together with a codon scoring algorithm. Sequences with outlying score were further analysed using an algorithm for producing local RNA folds whilst accounting for alignment properties. 11 different conserved regions were identified, some corresponding to well-known cis-acting functions of the HIV-1 genome but also others whose conservation has not previously been noted. We identify rational causes for many of these, including cis functions, possible additional reading frame usage, a plausible mechanism by which the central polypurine tract primes second-strand DNA synthesis and a conformational stabilising function of a region at the 5′ end of env. HIV-1 is a very rapidly mutating organism, however some parts of its genetic material change more than others. We looked for coding regions of HIV-1 that change relatively little, by turning the problem of finding such regions into a problem in signal processing, and solving this using a novel analytical approach that we recently described. We investigated why the regions we identified change less, including using the genetic code in the regions we found to prime an algorithm to predict their structures. In some cases there are already known functions for the features we found, in others they provide new insights into the properties of known regions, and in some cases we identify new regions that vary less for as yet unknown functional reasons.

Abstract
Background Adenosine deaminase enzymes of the ADAR family are conserved in metazoans. They convert adenine into inosine in dsRNAs and thus alter both structural properties and the coding potential of their substrates. Acting on exogenous dsRNAs, ADAR1 exerts a pro- or anti-viral role in vertebrates and Drosophila. Results We traced 4 ADAR homologs in 14 lophotrochozoan genomes and we classified them into ADAD, ADAR1 or ADAR2, based on phylogenetic and structural analyses of the enzymatic domain. Using RNA-seq and quantitative real time PCR we demonstrated the upregulation of one ADAR1 homolog in the bivalve Crassostrea gigas and in the gastropod Haliotis diversicolor supertexta during Ostreid herpesvirus-1 or Haliotid herpesvirus-1 infection. Accordingly, we demonstrated an extensive ADAR-mediated editing of viral RNAs. Single nucleotide variation (SNV) profiles obtained by pairing RNA- and DNA-seq data from the viral infected individuals resulted to be mostly compatible with ADAR-mediated A-to-I editing (up to 97%). SNVs occurred at low frequency in genomic hotspots, denoted by the overlapping of viral genes encoded on opposite DNA strands. The SNV sites and their upstream neighbor nucleotide indicated the targeting of selected adenosines. The analysis of viral sequences suggested that, under the pressure of the ADAR editing, the two Malacoherpesviridae genomes have evolved to reduce the number of deamination targets. Conclusions We report, for the first time, evidence of an extensive editing of Malacoherpesviridae RNAs attributable to host ADAR1 enzymes. The analysis of base neighbor preferences, structural features and expression profiles of molluscan ADAR1 supports the conservation of the enzyme function among metazoans and further suggested that ADAR1 exerts an antiviral role in mollusks.

Abstract
Passive administration of broadly neutralizing anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) antibodies (bNAbs) has been recently suggested as a promising alternative therapeutic approach for HIV-1 infection. Although the success behind the studies that used this approach has been attributed to the potency and neutralization breadth of anti-HIV-1 antibodies, several lines of evidence support the idea that specific antibody-dependent effector functions, particularly antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), play a critical role in controlling HIV-1 infection. In this review, we showed that there is a direct association between the activation of ADCC and better clinical outcomes. This, in turn, suggests that ADCC could be harnessed to control HIV-1 infection. To this end, we addressed the passive administration of bNAbs capable of selectively activating ADCC responses to HIV-1 patients. Finally, we summarized the potential barriers that may impede the optimal activation of ADCC during HIV-1 infection and provided strategic solutions to overcome these barriers.
