Cellular Mechanism Underlying Highly-Active or Antiretroviral Therapy-Induced Lipodystrophy: Atazanavir, a Protease Inhibitor, Compromises Adipogenic Conversion of Adipose-Derived Stem/Progenitor Cells through Accelerating ER Stress-Mediated Cell Death in Differentiating Adipocytes
Lipodystrophy is a common complication in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) or antiretroviral therapy (ART). Previous studies demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR) is invo...
