项目摘要

A significant proportion of patients infected with HIV develop cognitive/motor disorders including peripheral neuropathies and AIDS dementia. Interestingly, drugs of abuse such as opiates increase the frequency and severity of HIV encephalitis. In brain tissues of patients with HIV encephalitis, IL-1B and TNF-a: expression is increased in infiltrating macrophages, microglia and astrocytes with concomitant down regulation of astroglial glutamate transporter, EAAT2. Dysregulation of astroglial EAAT2 in the brain leads to glutamate mediated neurotoxicity (also known as excitotoxicity). However, the mechanism of dysregulation of EAAT2 by IL-1B/TNF-a: and morphine are unknown. The studies proposed are designed to elucidate the mechanism of IL-1B and morphine mediated dysregulation of EAAT2. The specific aims are 1: To test the hypothesis that EAAT2 promoter repression by IL-1B/TNF-a: and morphine involves activation of NFkB and chromatin remodeling, 2: To test the hypothesis that IL-1B/TNF-a and morphine induced miR-146a expression is NFkB and �mu�-opioid receptor (MOR) dependent, and 3: To test the hypothesis that HDAC inhibitor, Sulforaphane (SFN) ameliorates IL-1B/TNF-a: and morphine mediated repression of EAAT2 expression. The outcomes of these studies are expected to have a positive impact in our understanding of the role of epigenomics in EAAT2 regulation and pave the way to a nutraceutical approach using SFN to upregulate EAAT2 expression not only in NeuroAIDS but also in other IL-1B/TNF-a: mediated neurodegenerative diseases.

在感染HIV的患者中，很大一部分患者发展了认知/运动障碍，包括周围神经病和艾滋病痴呆症。有趣的是，诸如滥用药物（例如扩大HIV脑炎的频率和严重程度）。在HIV脑炎患者的脑组织中，IL-1B和TNF-A：表达在浸润巨噬细胞，小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞中增加，同时减少了星形胶质酸谷氨酸转运蛋白的调节EAAT2。大脑中星形胶质细胞EAAT2的失调会导致谷氨酸介导的神经毒性（也称为兴奋性毒性）。但是，IL-1B/TNF-A和吗啡的EAAT2失调机制尚不清楚。提出的研究旨在阐明IL-1B和吗啡介导的EAAT2失调的机理。 The specific aims are 1: To test the hypothesis that EAAT2 promoter Repression by IL-1B/TNF-a: and morphine involves activation of NFkB and chromatin remodeling, 2: To test the hypothesis that IL-1B/TNF-a and morphine induced miR-146a expression is NFkB and �mu�-opioid receptor (MOR) dependent, and 3: To test the hypothesis HDAC抑制剂Sulforaphane（SFN）可以改善IL-1B/TNF-A：吗啡介导的EAAT2表达的表达。预计这些研究的结果将对我们对表观基因组学在EAAT2调节中的作用的理解产生积极影响，并使用SFN使用SFN铺平了采用营养方法的方式，不仅在神经辅助中更新EAAT2表达，而且在其他IL-1B/TNF-A中也更新了EAAT2的表达。
