项目摘要

DESCRIPTION: The goal of this R21 grant proposal is to test the feasibility of using cannabinoid receptor (CB) agonists as microbicides to prevent HIV infection and transmission. These non-psychoactive derivatives of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) have a broad range of anti-inflammatory properties and increase the stratification of vaginal tissue in animal models. The compounds to be tested are agonists of CB2, which are found in the immune system and also present in other peripheral tissues, including vaginal tissue. During the R21 project, the effect o these agonists on the: 1) vaginal tissue thickness, tight junctions, gene expression, and barrier function, 2) expression of factors involved in innate immunity, 3) expression of CB2 in epithelial tissues and HIV host cells, 4) migration of HIV infected cells within vaginal tissue, and 5) capture and transfer HIV to CD4+ T cells will be investigated. Successful completion of the R21 work is anticipated to lead to advancement of one of the CB agonists into preclinical/clinical trials for use as a prophylactic HIV treatment or as an HIV microbicide adjuvant.

描述：该R21赠款提案的目的是测试使用大麻素受体（CB）激动剂作为微生物的可行性，以防止HIV感染和传播。这些四氢大麻酚（THC）的非精神活性衍生物具有广泛的抗炎特性，并增加了动物模型中阴道组织的分层。要测试的化合物是CB2的激动剂，这些化合物在免疫系统中发现，也存在于包括阴道组织在内的其他周围组织中。 During the R21 project, the effect o these agonists on the: 1) vaginal tissue thickness, tight junctions, gene expression, and barrier function, 2) expression of factors involved in innate immunity, 3) expression of CB2 in epithelial tissues and HIV host cells, 4) migration of HIV infected cells within vaginal tissue, and 5) capture and transfer HIV to CD4+ T cells will be investigated.预计R21工作的成功完成将导致其中一种CB激动剂促进临床前/临床试验，以用作预防性HIV治疗或作为HIV杀手型辅助治疗。
