Description:

LINC00173, a large intergenic non-coding RNA predominantly in the nucleus of various human cell types, is conserved amongst mammals and at least a partial homolog appears to be present in chickens. Both transcript variants of LINC00173 are up-regulated during infection with HIV-1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Nonetheless, loss of the LINC00173 locus does not affect any aspect of the HIV-1 replication cycle in cell culture, from entry to particle production. The cytokines exhibiting increased expression in the lnc173 KO Jurkat clones include IFN-r, a cytokine of central importance to the development and maintenance of the adaptive immune response to intracellular pathogens, including viruses. It is therefore tempting to speculate that HIV-1 has evolved the ability to increase levels of lnc173 to impede the immune response.
