Anti-apoptotic effect of HIV protease inhibitors via direct inhibition of calpain.
Author: BergamaschiAntonio, CoppolaSimona, De NicolaMilena, GhibelliLina, LichtnerMiriam, MastroianniClaudio, MengoniFabio, VulloVincenzo
Original Abstract of the Article :
Treatment with drugs designed to inhibit the HIV protease ameliorates immune functions in AIDS patients, reducing cell deletion by apoptosis even in the absence of inhibition of viral spread. This suggests that they interact with the intrinsic apoptotic signaling. We found that caspases, the main ex...See full text at original site

HIV Protease Inhibitors: A New Oasis in the Desert of Apoptosis
The world of HIV infection is a complex and challenging desert, with researchers constantly seeking new and effective weapons to combat this devastating disease. This study delves into the anti-apoptotic effects of HIV protease inhibitors, exploring their potential to protect cells from death. It's like finding a hidden oasis in the desert, offering a potential new strategy for managing this complex disease. The research focuses on the mechanisms underlying the anti-apoptotic effects of these drugs, investigating their interaction with the cellular machinery responsible for programmed cell death. It's like examining the intricate workings of a desert ecosystem, seeking to understand the delicate balance of life and death.
This study reveals that HIV protease inhibitors can directly inhibit calpains, a family of enzymes involved in apoptosis, suggesting a novel mechanism for their anti-apoptotic effects. This discovery is like finding a hidden spring in the desert, offering a potential solution to a challenging problem.
