Abstract
- Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is characterized by the gradual depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes. The incorporation of the concept of apoptosis as a rationale to explain progressive T cell depletion has led to growing research in this field during the last 10 years. In parallel, the biochemical pathways implicated in programmed cell death have been extensively studied. Thus, the influence of mitochondrial control in the two major apoptotic pathways-the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways-is now well admitted. In this review, we summarized our current knowledge of the different pathways involved in the death of T cells in the course of HIV infection.
