Mucosal effects of tenofovir 1% gel wane over longer-term use but retain pro-proliferative and type I/III interferon pathway signatures [MTN014_15cmRectum]

ABSTRACT: The nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) tenofovir has been extensively tested as a topical preventative against vaginal and rectal HIV transmission. We sought to determine how use of this product affects gene expression. We used samples from MTN-014, a study of vaginal and rectal gel application. We obtained rectal biopsies before treatment initiation and after two weeks of daily use of tenofovir 1% gel applied rectally or vaginally. We isolated RNA from rectal biopsies preserved with RNAlater. Gene expression was measured from all three samples (three time points) from each participant.
