Journal ArticleDOI

Release, uptake, and effects of extracellular human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Tat protein on cell growth and viral transactivation.

TL;DR: The data suggest that Tat can be released by a mechanism(s) other than cell death and that the cell growth-promoting activity and the virus-transactivating effect of extracellular Tat are mediated by different pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergy between basic fibroblast growth factor and HIV-1 Tat protein in induction of Kaposi's sarcoma

TL;DR: Basic fibroblast growth factor and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat protein synergize in inducing angiogenic Kaposi's sarcoma-like lesions in mice, which may explain the higher frequency and aggressiveness of this form of KS.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Tat protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1, a growth factor for AIDS Kaposi sarcoma and cytokine-activated vascular cells, induces adhesion of the same cell types by using integrin receptors recognizing the RGD amino acid sequence.

TL;DR: It is suggested that RGD-recognizing integrins mediate the vascular cell-growth-promoting effect of Tat, and immune stimulation (rather than immune deficiency) is a component of AIDS-KS pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokines from activated T cells induce normal endothelial cells to acquire the phenotypic and functional features of AIDS-Kaposi's sarcoma spindle cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that KS spindle cells have features of activated endothelial cells, and that conditioned media from activated T cells, rich in the same inflammatory cytokines increased in HIV-1-infected individuals, induce normal endothelium cells to acquire the phenotypic and functional features of KS cells.
