Inhibition of β-catenin/TCF1 axis attenuates 6-BIO-triggered HIV-1 reactivation. (A) The expression of TCF/LEF family members. ACH2 cells (1×106) were treated with 6-BIO (1 μM) for 24 h, the expression of TCF1, TCF3, TCF4, and LEF1 was quantified by real-time qPCR and the relative enhancement fold was calculated. (B, C) Interference with the β-catenin/TCF1 pathway attenuates 6-BIO-induced viral reactivation. The endogenous GSK3α, GSK3β, β-catenin, or TCF1 was knocked-down with lentiviruses containing specific shRNAs for 48 h (B), and cells were further treated with 6-BIO (1 μM) for additional 24 h and viral reactivation was detected and calculated (C). Result is one representative from five independent repeats. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *** P < 0.001 denotes significant difference.
