项目摘要
Oral manifestations of HIV have been documented since the initial presentation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of
the 80's. The most common oral complication was candidiasis, and was associated with a reduction in
CD4+T cells. Oral candidal infection was a hallmark indicator of immune dysfunction. The increased
incidence of opportunistic infections was related to immune suppression as evidenced by a reduction in
number and functional activity of CD4 + T cells. The frequency and type of oral complication has changed
since the initial description of the 80s. With the initiation of HAART therapies the constellation of oral
manifestations has changed. The incidence of HPV associated warts and severe aphthous ulcer stomatitis
has increased, whereas oral candidal infection and oral hairy leukoplakia has declined. In addition, not all
patients develop these pathologies. The variation in disease presentation and concomitant response to
therapy may be related to genetic predisposition of innate immune genes and variation in epithelial barrier
function. Innate immunity is increasingly being recognized as playing a critical role in host defense against
infectious diseases, including HIV. The defensin peptides have antimicrobial properties and are major
protective components of the epithelial mucosal barrier. Genetic variation of the defensin genes in the form
of SNPs and CNVs has been shown to be associated with disease susceptibility. Toll-like receptors (TLRs),
a family of evolutionary conserved receptors on host cells including human oral epithelial cells, recognize
specific microbial structures, leading to the up-regulation of inflammatory mediators and recruitment of
inflammatory cells. Multiple interactions of microbes and host tissues and secreted antimicrobial molecules
such as beta-defensins are involved in the maintenance of the homeostatic environment of the healthy
mouth, however, little is known about the role of TLRs in this process or the impact of HIV disease on these
processes. Polymorphisms in the TLR family and the common adaptor Tirap/Mal have been associated with
many human infectious and autoimmune diseases. We hypothesize that host variation in TLRs and their
signaling components contribute to the variability in oral infections seen in HIV disease by altering
host/microbe interactions at the mucosal surface. We will decipher the relationship of genetic variations in
both the defensin gene cluster and toll-like receptors TLR1 and 2 with oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS. We
will define and correlate specific complex haplotypes with the frequency and occurrence of oral lesions in the
HIV population. We hypothesize that susceptibility, prognosis, and outcome of HIV are associated with
genetic variations in the defensin gene cluster. This same variation also may be associated with the
development of oral complications following HIV infection
