Blood-brain barrier disruption in simian immunodeficiency virus encephalitis.

Infected monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are thought by some investigators to play a central role in the neuropathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis (HIVE). It was recently proposed that these cells gain access to the central nervous system (CNS) through disruptions in blood-brain barrier (BBB) tight junctions, which occur in HIVE in association with accumulation of activated, HIV-1-infected, perivascular macrophages and serum protein extravasation (Am J Pathol 1999, 155: 1915-27). The present study tested this hypothesis in basal ganglia tissue from simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaques with encephalitis by examining vessels for immunohistochemical alterations in the tight junction-associated proteins, occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). Compared to non-infected macaques and SIV-infected macaques without encephalitis, cerebral vessels from macaques with SIVE showed fragmentation and decreased immunoreactivity for both tight junction proteins. These alterations were associated with accumulation of perivascular macrophages and aberrant occludin and ZO-1 immunoreactivity within these cells. In addition, perivascular extravasation of fibrinogen, a plasma protein, and a change from a strong linear staining pattern to a more irregular pattern of glucose transporter isoform-1 (GLUT-1), a metabolic BBB marker, were observed in regions with vascular tight junction protein alterations. These findings demonstrate that tight junction disruption occurs in SIVE in association with perivascular macrophage accumulation. While it cannot be ascertained from these studies whether such changes precede macrophage infiltration, or are secondary to the chronic presence of macrophages around cerebral vessels, disruptions in BBB integrity could serve as portals for additional accumulation of perivascular macrophages in SIVE.

Defining the source of HIV-1 RNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will facilitate studies of treatment efficacy in the brain. Four antiretroviral drug-naive adults underwent two 48-hr ultraintensive CSF sampling procedures, once at baseline and again beginning on day 4 after initiating three-drug therapy with stavudine, lamivudine, and nelfinavir. At baseline, constant CSF HIV-1 RNA concentrations were maintained by daily entry of at least 10(4) to 10(6) HIV-1 RNA copies into CSF. Change from baseline to day 5 ranged from -0.38 to -1.18 log(10) HIV-1 RNA copies/ml in CSF, and from -0.80 to -1.33 log(10) HIV-1 RNA copies/ml in plasma, with no correlation between CSF and plasma changes. There was no evidence of genotypic or phenotypic viral resistance in either CSF or plasma. With regard to pharmacokinetics, mean CSF-to-plasma area-under-the-curve (AUC) ratios were 38.9% for stavudine and 15.3% for lamivudine. Nelfinavir and its active M8 metabolite could not be accurately quantified in CSF, although plasma M8 peak level and AUC(0-8hr) correlated with CSF HIV-1 RNA decline. This study supports the utility of ultraintensive CSF sampling for studying HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapy in the CNS, and provides strong evidence that HIV-1 RNA in CSF arises, at least in part, from a source other than plasma.

CD8+ thymic lymphocytes express reduced levels of CD8beta and increased interferon gamma in cats perinatally infected with the JSY3 molecular clone of feline immunodeficiency virus.

Biological isolates of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) cause a relative expansion of activated single-positive CD8(+) (SP CD8(+)) lymphocytes within the thymus of infected cats. In this study, thymic SP CD8(+) lymphocytes were analyzed from cats inoculated as neonates with a pathogenic molecular clone of FIV, JSY3, which was previously derived from the wild-type biological isolate FIV(NCSU-1) (NCSU-1). Four cats were inoculated intraperitoneally with NCSU-1 and compared with 11 cats inoculated with JSY3. Five control cats matched in litter and age were administered an intraperitoneal sham inoculum. Between 12 and 16 weeks postinoculation, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) mRNA was quantified by RT-PCR in freshly isolated thymocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The quantity of IFN-gamma mRNA was increased more than 10-fold in thymocytes and PBMCs of 13 of 13 FIV-inoculated cats as compared with the sham-inoculated controls. IFN-gamma mRNA coenriched with magnetically sorted CD8(+) PBMCs and single-positive (SP) CD8(+) thymocytes. Cells expressing IFN-gamma mRNA were located within the thymic perivascular zone, along the corticomedullary junction, and adjacent to lymphoid follicles. The expansion of thymic SP CD8(+) cells was associated with an increase in CD8alpha(+)/beta(neg) and CD8alpha(+)/beta(lo) phenotypes, the latter population resembling a previously reported memory/effector peripheral blood cell with FIV suppressor activity. From these data we conclude that JSY3 and NCSU-1 induce similar phenotypic changes in thymic and peripheral blood CD8(+) cells. Thus, JSY3 is pathogenic for the thymus in vivo and will be useful for defining determinants of the CD8(+) cell response in this pediatric AIDS model.

Characterization of immune escape viruses from a macaque immunized with live-virus vaccine and challenged with pathogenic SHIVKU-1.

Stipp HL, Kumar A, Narayan O.

We characterized two immune escape viruses (SHIV(KU-1/105w52) and SHIV(KU-1/105w98)) from a macaque immunized with DeltavpuDeltanef SHIV-4 and challenged with pathogenic SHIV(KU-1). This macaque developed neutralizing antibodies as well as virus-specific CTLs against the challenge virus. However, the two new viruses could not be neutralized by anti-SHIV(KU-1)-specific neutralizing antibodies and were poorly recognized by challenge virus-specific CTLs. Sequence analysis of the gene encoding gp120 revealed several mutations in the protein that might have contributed to the development of the immune-escape viruses.

Floppy eyelid syndrome and mental retardation.

Boulton JE, Sullivan TJ.

OBJECTIVE: To report four subjects with a combination of floppy eyelid syndrome, mental retardation, and increased mechanical stimulus to the affected side. DESIGN: Retrospective, noncomparative case series. PARTICIPANTS: The authors retrospectively reviewed the charts of four mentally retarded subjects with floppy eyelid syndrome. INTERVENTION: Surgical tightening of three upper lids and one lower lid was performed in three subjects. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Relief of symptoms. RESULTS: The affected eyelids were treated surgically; in case 1 by anterior lamellar repositioning and lateral and medial canthal tightening, in case 2 by horizontal upper lid shortening, and in case 3 by horizontal lid shortening of both upper and lower lids. There was marked relief from symptoms in all three cases. In case 4, surgery was deferred at parental request. CONCLUSIONS: These cases support the role of mechanical factors in the pathogenesis of floppy eyelid syndrome. Subjects with mental retardation may cooperate poorly with examination, and we believe that there should be a careful search for floppy eyelid syndrome in the presence of chronic conjunctivitis or unexplained epitheliopathy.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
