The establishment of a reservoir of latently infected CD4+ T cells that persist on antiretroviral therapy (ART) through proliferation represents the main barrier to HIV cure. Here, we evaluated in macaques a therapeutic approach targeting Wnt and Notch pathways that regulate T cell proliferation and differentiation during acute SIV infection, when the viral reservoir is seeded. The combination of PRI-724 and LY3039478 led to reprogramming of central memory CD4+ T cells away from quiescence and stemness toward a metabolically active effector profile resulting in reduced infection of central memory CD4+ T cells. Following sustained ART, levels of SIV RNA in CD4+ T cells were higher in the PRI-724 + LY3039478-treated group compared to controls, although SIV DNA was similar. These findings suggest that stemness pathway inhibition promotes memory T cell differentiation leading to a more transcriptionally active reservoir and has potential to synergize with "shock-and-kill" approaches to reduce HIV persistence.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
