EphB2-mediated ephrin-B reverse signaling on microglia drives an anti-viral, but inflammatory and neurotoxic response associated with HIV by Jeffrey Koury, Hina Singh, Samantha N. Sutley-Koury, Dominic Fok, Xinru Qiu, Ricky Maung, Benjamin B. Gelman, Iryna M. Ethell, Marcus Kaul

“…Results Using qRT-PCR we find increased expression of EphB2 in post-mortem brain of PLWH, and detect a correlation with pro-viral DNA, viral RNA and an inverse correlation with abstract executive function and verbal fluency. Increased expression of ephrin-B/EphB at mRNA and protein level is also observed in brains of a transgenic mouse model of neuroHIV suggesting the upregulation can be driven, at least in part, by expression of viral gp120 envelope protein and a type I interferon, IFNβ. …”
