DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): One in three HIV-infected individuals develops some form of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). Consumption of drugs of abuse such as methamphetamine (METH) aggravates the symptoms of HAND, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which these drugs impact HIV disease progression in the central nervous system (CNS) remain ill-defined. In this study will test the hypothesis that HAND arises from the intermittent reactivation of latently infected microglial cells leading to the expression f the neurotoxic viral proteins, Tat and gp120. Specifically, we will identify the specific contributon of specific molecular networks of glial cells that are involved in the control of HIV latency and te acquisition of an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Our recent unbiased human shRNA library screen for factors that are required to maintain HIV latency in CHME-5/HIV cells showed that HIV silencing in microglila cells can be induced by the ligand- activated nuclear receptors (LA-NR) PPAR, RAR and RXR. Chemical screens of PPAR, RAR and RXR agonists and antagonists confirmed that these receptors have a critical regulatory role in controlling HIV latency in microglial cells and that receptor agonists are potent blockers of HIV reactivation. In this study we will study the molecular basis for LA-NR control of HIV transcription in microglial cells and how this regulatory pathway is modified by METH. Using novel co-culture systems between latently infected microglial cells and neurons we will study the impact METH on the induction of latent HIV proviruses and their subsequent neurotoxicity. We will also use this system to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of PPAR, RAR and RXR agonists, consistent with the recent demonstration that the RXR agonist bexarotene or the PPAR agonist pioglitazone are neuroprotective in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Finally we will evaluate the role of the ligand nuclear receptor pathway on HIV induced neurodegeneration using a novel double transgenic mouse model, JR-CSF/hu-CycT1 mice, that permits HIV replication in mouse cells and allows study of how HIV infection induces brain dysfunction. We also plan to develop a novel model for HIV-induced neurodegeneration using latently infected mouse monocytes to repopulate the brains of CD11b-HSVTK transgenic mice where microglial cells have been depleted. The multidisciplinary experiments described in this application represent a comprehensive evaluation of the molecular basis for HIV latency in microglial cells in the brain, the impact of METH on HIV latency and neurodegeneration, and extensive evaluations of the potential of nuclear receptor agonists as neuroprotective agents. We believe that the systematic studies we have proposed here will set the stage for improved clinical management of HIV-associated dementia (HAD) and minor cognitive motor disorder (MCMD) in our patients who abuse drugs.

描述（由申请人提供）：三分之一的HIV感染者会发展出某种形式的与HIV相关的神经认知障碍（HAND）。消费诸如甲基苯丙胺（METH）的滥用药物会加剧手的症状，但是这些药物会影响中枢神经系统（CNS）中的HIV疾病进展的细胞和分子机制仍然不确定。在这项研究中，将检验手的假设是由潜在感染的小胶质细胞间歇性重新激活导致神经毒性病毒蛋白TAT和GP120的表达。具体而言，我们将确定与控制抗炎M2表型的艾滋病毒潜伏期和收购有关的艾神经胶质细胞特定分子网络的特定贡献。我们最近无偏见的人类shRNA库筛选，以维持CHME-5/HIV细胞中HIV潜伏期所需的因素，表明Microglila细胞中的HIV沉默可以通过配体激活的核受体（LA-NR）PPAR，RAR和RXR诱导。 PPAR，RAR和RXR激动剂和拮抗剂的化学筛选证实，这些受体在控制小胶质细胞中的HIV潜伏期中具有关键的调节作用，并且受体激动剂是HIV重新激活的有效阻断者。在这项研究中，我们将研究小胶质细胞中HIV转录的LA-NR对照的分子基础，以及该调节途径如何通过METH修饰。使用潜在感染的小胶质细胞和神经元之间的新型共培养系统，我们将研究METH对诱导潜在HIV病毒及其随后的神经毒性的影响。我们还将使用该系统来评估PPAR，RAR和RXR激动剂的神经保护作用，这与最近的证明相一致，即RXR激动剂蜜蜂或PPAR激动剂吡格列酮在阿尔茨海默氏病小鼠模型中是神经保护性的。最后，我们将使用一种新型的双转基因小鼠模型JR-CSF/HU-CYCT1小鼠评估配体核受体途径在HIV诱导的神经退行性的作用，该模型允许在小鼠细胞中复制HIV，并允许研究HIV感染如何诱导HIV诱导脑功能障碍。我们还计划使用潜在感染的小鼠单核细胞来开发一种新型的HIV诱导神经退行性模型，以重新填充小胶质细胞已耗尽的CD11b-HSVTK转基因小鼠的大脑。本应用中描述的多学科实验代表了对大脑中小胶质细胞中艾滋病毒潜伏期的分子基础的全面评估，甲基甲基对艾滋病毒潜伏期和神经退行性的影响以及对核受体激动剂作为神经保护剂的潜力的广泛评估。我们认为，我们在这里提出的系统研究将为改善与滥用药物的患者的艾滋病毒相关性痴呆（HAT）和次要认知运动障碍（MCMD）的临床管理奠定了基础。
