Highly effective and specific latent HIV activators can effectively activate latent HIV, and then combined with antiretroviral therapy to achieve a functional cure of AIDS. Here, four sesquiterpenes (1\u20134) including a new one (1), five flavonoids (5\u20139) including three biflavonoid structures, and two lignans (10 and 11) were obtained from the roots of Wikstroemia chamaedaphne. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by experimental electronic circular dichroism. NH2 cell model was used to test the activity of these 11 compounds in activating latent HIV. Oleodaphnone (2) showed the latent HIV activation effect as well as the positive drug prostratin, and the activation effect was time- and concentration-dependent. Based on transcriptome analysis, the underlying mechanism was that oleodaphnone regulated the TNF, C-type lectin receptor, NF-\u03baB, IL-17, MAPK, NOD-like receptor, JAK-Stat, FoxO, and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. This study provides the basis for the potential development of oleodaphnone as an effective HIV latency-reversing agent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24087357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]],"date-time":"2023-04-17T03:14:09Z","timestamp":1681701249000},"page":"7357","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Discovering the Mechanisms of Oleodaphnone as a Potential HIV Latency-Reversing Agent by Transcriptome Profiling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2112-585X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shifei","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Molecular Engineering of Education Ministry, Institute of Molecular Science, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiuyi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Molecular Engineering of Education Ministry, Institute of Molecular Science, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuqin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Molecular Engineering of Education Ministry, Institute of Molecular Science, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"},{"name":"Modern Research Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xingkang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Modern Research Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9247-6334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Molecular Engineering of Education Ministry, Institute of Molecular Science, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tim.2015.11.003","article-title":"Reversal of latency as part of a cure for HIV-1","volume":"24","author":"Rasmussen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Trends Microbiol."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"297","article-title":"Research progress on natural product human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) latency reactivation agents","volume":"52","author":"Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Zhongcaoyao"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3006","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V98.10.3006","article-title":"Prostratin: Activation of latent HIV-1 expression suggests a potential inductive adjuvant therapy for HAART","volume":"98","author":"Kulkosky","year":"2001","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"649","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1154690","article-title":"Practical synthesis of prostratin, DPP, and their analogs, adjuvant leads against latent HIV","volume":"320","author":"Wender","year":"2008","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Huang, L., Ho, P., Yu, J., Zhu, L., Lee, K.H., and Chen, C.H.
