Gene context of zidovudine

  • 10 HIV+ patients with CD4 cell counts between 200 and 500 cells/mm3 were treated with six cycles of subcutaneous recombinant IL-2 administration, in combination with zidovudine and didanosine [34].
  • MRP4 overexpression is associated with high-level resistance to the nucleoside analogues 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl) adenine and azidothymidine, both of which are used as anti-human immunodeficiency virus drugs [35].
  • METHODS: P-gp and MRP expression in response to long-term zidovudine (3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine; AZT) or indinavir treatment was quantified by RT-PCR [36].
  • Zidovudine-based HAART recipients (n=7) also displayed significant mtDNA depletion (34.45% of control, P=0.031), increased mitochondrial protein mass (5.7-fold of control, P=0.009), and markedly increased UCP1 (18-fold of control, P=0.009) mRNA [37].
  • Reduced POT1 expression was observed in GC cell lines with telomeres shortened by treatment with azidothymidine [38].
