Apigenin improves cytotoxicity of antiretroviral drugs against HTLV-1 infected cells through the modulation of AhR signaling

Abstract: Objectives HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a neuroinflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by high levels of infected immortalized T cells in circulation, which makes it difficult for antiretroviral (ART) drugs to work effectively. In previous studies, we established that Apigenin, a flavonoid, can exert immunomodulatory effects to reduce neuroinflammation. Flavonoids are natural ligands for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which is a ligand act… Show more

“…Accordingly, several inhibitors of host cell signaling have recently been proposed in in vitro/ex vivo studies as potential anti-ATL therapeutics. These include apigenin, as an inhibitor of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and transcription factor that enhances the cytotoxicity of antiretroviral drugs, and dimethyl fumarate as an inhibitor of the so-called CBM complex [86,87]. Another potential cellular target that has been studied for several years is PI3K.…”
