Abstract

Recent findings suggest that mammalian microRNAs (miRNAs) may influence viral replication in host cells. Studies on HIV‐1 infection have contributed in part to the development of this notion. Herein, we review, in brief, some of the evidence supportive of an interplay between human miRNAs and HIV‐1 in cells. Several cellular miRNAs potentially act to restrict HIV‐1 replication, and the virus has countermeasures to evade such restriction. J. Cell. Physiol. 216: 327–331, 2008. Β© 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
