Abstract

Ribozymes are structured RNA molecules that act as catalysts in different biological reactions. From simple genome cleaving activities in satellite RNAs to more complex functions in cellular protein synthesis and gene regulation, ribozymes play important roles in all forms of life. Several naturally existing ribozymes have been modified for use as therapeutics in different conditions, with HIV-1 infection being one of the most studied. This chapter summarizes data from different preclinical and clinical studies conducted to evaluate the potential of ribozymes to be used in HIV-1 therapies. The different ribozyme motifs that have been modified, as well as their target sites and expression strategies, are described. RNA conjugations used to enhance the antiviral effect of ribozymes are also presented and the results from clinical trials conducted to date are summarized. Studies on anti-HIV-1 ribozymes have provided valuable information on the optimal expression strategies and clinical protocols for RNA gene therapy and remain competitive candidates for future therapy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2015.
All research outputs
#18,402,666
of 22,794,367 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,311
of 4,949 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,771
of 353,053 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#163
of 272 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,794,367 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,949 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 353,053 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 272 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
