项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Each year, 500 million are infected and 1 million die because of malaria, with most deaths due to cerebral malaria in African children. In sub-Saharan Africa, roughly 24.4 million people have HIV, including 2 million children. Thus, millions are at risk for coinfection with both HIV and malaria, and effects of one infection on the disease course of the other may have global health implications. HIV and malaria each interact with the host's immune system uniquely, resulting in complex activations of immune cells, and subsequent tightly regulated production of cytokines and antibodies. While early population-based studies showed no difference in outcomes between HIV-positive and negative individuals with malaria, more recent work suggests HIV-infected people have more frequent episodes of symptomatic malaria and malaria in those with HIV increases HIV viremia and decreases CD4+ T cells. The effects of co-infection on CNS pathology, including cerebral malaria and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, are not known. We hypothesize that HIV and malaria co-infection exacerbates the host immune response, and that this immune dysregulation explains differences in the clinical spectrum of disease. In this proposal, we will use established in vitro and in vivo experimental models to examine the mechanisms by which co-infection causes immune dysregulation and how this impacts endothelial activation and blood-brain barrier function. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Both malaria and HIV affect millions of people in the developing world. The majority of malaria deaths are due to cerebral malaria in children in sub-Saharan Africa, where roughly 24.4 million people are infected with HIV, including 2 million children. Recent work suggests HIV-infected people have more frequent episodes of symptomatic malaria, and co-infection with malaria increases HIV viremia and decreases CD4+ T cells. We propose to study how malaria and HIV interact to alter immune function and development of severe malaria including cerebral malaria, as well as progression of HIVassociated neurocognitive disorders. Our long-term goal is to develop interventions that improve clinical outcomes in individuals affected by both malaria and HIV.

描述（调查员提供）：每年，由于疟疾而感染了5亿，死亡100万，大多数死亡是由于非洲儿童的脑疟疾而导致的。在撒哈拉以南非洲，大约有2440万人患有艾滋病毒，其中包括200万儿童。因此，数以百万计的人有与艾滋病毒和疟疾共同感染的风险，一种感染对另一种疾病病程的影响可能具有全球健康的影响。 HIV和疟疾各自与宿主的免疫系统相互作用，导致免疫细胞的复杂活化，随后严格调节细胞因子和抗体的产生。尽管早期基于人群的研究表明，HIV阳性和阴性疟疾的阴性个体之间的结局没有差异，但最近的工作表明，感染HIV的人在HIV患者中患有更频繁的症状性疟疾和疟疾发作会增加HIV病毒性血症并减少CD4+ T细胞。共同感染对CNS病理学的影响，包括脑疟疾和与HIV相关的神经认知障碍。我们假设HIV和疟疾共同感染加剧了宿主免疫反应，并且这种免疫失调解释了疾病临床范围的差异。在此提案中，我们将使用已建立的体外和体内实验模型来检查共同感染引起免疫失调的机制，以及这如何影响内皮激活和血脑屏障功能。公共卫生相关性：疟疾和艾滋病毒都会影响发展中国家的数百万人。大多数疟疾死亡是由于撒哈拉以南非洲儿童的脑疟疾造成的，那里大约有2440万人感染了艾滋病毒，其中包括200万儿童。最近的工作表明，感染HIV的人的症状性疟疾发作更频繁，与疟疾共同感染会增加HIV病毒血症并减少CD4+ T细胞。我们建议研究疟疾和艾滋病毒如何相互作用，以改变包括脑疟疾在内的严重疟疾的免疫功能和发育，以及HIVASSAID CASSICATIAD神经认知疾病的进展。我们的长期目标是制定干预措施，以改善受疟疾和艾滋病毒影响的个体的临床结果。
