Abstract
Recent findings suggest that mammalian microRNAs (miRNAs) may influence viral replication in host cells. Studies on HIVβ1 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 HIVβ1 in cells. Several cellular miRNAs potentially act to restrict HIVβ1 replication, and the virus has countermeasures to evade such restriction. J. Cell. Physiol. 216: 327β331, 2008. Β© 2008 WileyβLiss, Inc.

A cellular transcriptional factor initially identified as the c-myc promoter binding protein (MBP-1) was subsequently characterized as a cell regulatory protein with multifunctional activities. In this study, the role of MBP-1 on human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) transcriptional activity w
