项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The success of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has drastically improved the life expectancy of people living with HIV. This has resulted in the clinical observations of significant age-related neurocognitive complications among the population aging with HIV. HIV-associated inflammation has been implicated in premature aging and increased risk of age-associated comorbidities even in cART-treated individuals. Currently, people living with HIV are using cannabis, for recreational or medical purposes, at higher rates than the general population. However, cannabinoids in the context of HIV and aging remain preclinically unexplored. As the use of medical cannabis among older HIV individuals continues to rise, there is an urgent need to investigate the consequences of cannabinoids during aging with HIV. The goal of this proposal is to unravel the beneficial versus the detrimental effects of cannabinoids on HIV and HIV-induced neurocognitive deficits in aged mice. It has been shown that cannabidiol (CBD) improves both spatial and recognition memory and decreases anxiety in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting its therapeutic potential for age‐related dementia. Therefore, we hypothesize that exposure to CBD will modulate neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in mice that aged with HIV. To test this hypothesis, C57BL/6J male and female adult mice (at 16-months old) will be infected with the mouse-tropic HIV, EcoHIV. After 8 weeks (at 18-months old), a subset of EcoHIV-infected mice will be exposed to CBD alone, antiretrovirals alone, and concomitant CBD and antiretrovirals for 21 days. In Specific Aim 1, we posit that CBD will modulate HIV- and age-associated cognitive deficits, specifically memory, and learning functions, measured by the novel object recognition test and the Y-maze behavioral test. In Specific Aim 2, we posit that CBD exposure will modulate neuroinflammation, glial phenotypes, and cellular senescence in postmortem brain tissue of EcoHIV-infected and aged mice recovered in Specific Aim 1. The experiments described in this proposal will allow us to determine the molecular mechanisms that could mediate the consequences of cannabinoids exposure in the HIV-infected aged brain. The ultimate goal of this project is to identify a potential therapeutic target that could reduce age-related neurodegenerative deficits associated with chronic HIV infection.

项目概要联合抗逆转录病毒疗法（cART）的成功极大地提高了人们的预期寿命这导致了与年龄相关的神经认知的显着临床观察。艾滋病毒相关炎症与老龄化人口的并发症有关。即使在接受 cART 治疗的个体中，过早衰老和与年龄相关的合并症的风险也会增加。艾滋病毒感染者出于娱乐或医疗目的使用大麻的比例高于一般人群然而，大麻素在艾滋病毒和衰老方面的用途尚未得到临床前探索。老年艾滋病毒感染者中使用医用大麻的比例持续上升，迫切需要调查该提案的目的是阐明大麻素在艾滋病毒衰老期间的后果。大麻素对艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒引起的老年小鼠神经认知缺陷的影响。研究表明大麻二酚（CBD）可以改善小鼠的空间和记忆识别并减少焦虑阿尔茨海默病模型，表明其治疗与年龄相关的痴呆症的潜力。最近发现，暴露于 CBD 可以调节衰老小鼠的神经炎症和认知缺陷为了检验这一假设，C57BL/6J 雄性和雌性成年小鼠（16 个月大）将感染 HIV。小鼠嗜性 HIV，EcoHIV 8 周后（18 个月大），一部分感染 EcoHIV 的小鼠将被暴露。在特定目标 1 中，单独使用 CBD、单独使用抗逆转录病毒药物以及同时使用 CBD 和抗逆转录病毒药物 21 天。认为 CBD 将调节与艾滋病毒和年龄相关的认知缺陷，特别是记忆和学习在特定目标 2 中，我们通过新颖的物体识别测试和 Y 迷宫行为测试来测量功能。假设 CBD 暴露会调节神经炎症、神经胶质表型和细胞衰老在特定目标 1 中回收的感染了 EcoHIV 的老年小鼠的死后脑组织。该提案中描述的内容将使我们能够确定可以介导的分子机制大麻素对感染艾滋病毒的老年人大脑的影响该项目的最终目标是。确定可以减少与年龄相关的神经退行性缺陷的潜在治疗靶点与慢性艾滋病毒感染有关。
