GAS5 controls CD4 T cell response and apoptosis beyond miR-21-mediated signaling pathways. (A) Relative expressions of GAS5 (n = 5) and miR-21 (n = 4) in CD4 T cells from PLHIV, following overexpression of GAS5, determined by RT-qPCR. (B) Left panel, sequences of GAS5-mutant and GAS5-WT constructs, and the corresponding miR-21 binding site. Right panel, relative miR-21 expression in CD4 T cells from PLHIV transfected with control, GAS5-WT, or GAS5-mutant constructs (n = 6). (C–E) Expression of T cell activation, apoptosis, and exhaustion markers in CD4 T cells from PLHIV transfected with control, GAS5-WT, or GAS5-mutant construct, determined by flow cytometry (n = 10).
