Effect of pre-exposure prophylaxis with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine on gene expression in the rectum
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) effectively prevents infection with HIV-1. We sought to determine how use of these medications affects gene expression. We performed a small, prospective trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02621242) of eight men initiating PrEP with TDF/FTC. We obtained rectal biopsies before treatment initiation and after two months of daily use. We isolated RNA from rectal biopsies preserved with RNAlater. Gene expression was measured from all eight men at both time points.
