HIV Associated Eye Diseases: Existing Cognitive and Possible Mechanisms
2020
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) envelope protein gp120 is the major contributor to the pathogenesis of retinopathy and uveitis in HIV-1-related eye diseases. Disruption of the structure and function of the Blood-Retina Barrier (BRB) is the major contributor of HIV-1-related eye diseases and the molecular mechanism remains unknown. Our mini review revealed that retinopathy and uveitis are required for gp120- induced inflammation and epigenetic changes and suggest that gp120 regulate tight junction protein.
