HIV-1 Tat Activates Akt/mTORC1 Pathway and <i>AICDA</i> Expression by Downregulating Its Transcriptional Inhibitors in B Cells

HIV-1 infects T cells, but the most frequent AIDS-related lymphomas are of B-cell origin. Molecular mechanisms of HIV-1-induced oncogenic transformation of B cells remain largely unknown. HIV-1 Tat protein may participate in this process by penetrating and regulating gene expression in B cells. Both...
