Impact of human immunodeficiency virus on pulmonary vascular disease.

ABSTRACT: With the advent of anti-retroviral therapy, non-AIDS-related comorbidities have increased in people living with HIV. Among these comorbidities, pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. Although chronic HIV-1 infection is independently associated with the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, PH in people living with HIV may also be the outcome of various co-morbidities commonly observed in these individuals including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, left heart disease and co-infections. In addition, the association of these co-morbidities and other risk factors, such as illicit drug use, can exacerbate the development of pulmonary vascular disease. This review will focus on these complex interactions contributing to PH development and exacerbation in HIV patients. We also examine the interactions of HIV proteins, including Nef, Tat, and gp120 in the pulmonary vasculature and how these proteins alter the endothelial and smooth muscle function by transforming them into susceptible PH phenotype. The review also discusses the available infectious and non-infectious animal models to study HIV-associated PAH, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each model, along with their ability to mimic the clinical manifestations of HIV-PAH.

Effect of Cocaine on Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling and Hemodynamics in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Transgenic Rats.

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related pulmonary arterial hypertension has been found to be more prevalent in intravenous drug users. Our earlier cell-culture findings reported down-regulation of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs) in combination with enhanced proliferation of human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in the presence of HIV-Trans-activator of transcription (Tat) and cocaine compared with either treatment alone. Here, we report physiologic evidence of significant increases in mean pulmonary arterial pressure in HIV-transgenic (Tg) rats intraperitoneally administered 40 mg/kg body weight cocaine (HIV-cocaine group) once daily for 21 days when compared with HIV-Tg rats given saline (HIV group) or wild-type (WT) Fischer 334 rats treated with (WT-cocaine group) and without cocaine (WT group). In addition, right ventricle systolic pressure was also found to be significantly higher in the HIV-cocaine rats compared with the WT group. Significant down-regulation in protein expression of BMPR-2 and BMPR-1B was observed in total lung extract from HIV-cocaine rats compared with the other three groups. Furthermore, the PASMCs isolated from HIV-cocaine rats demonstrated a higher level of proliferation and lower levels of apoptosis compared with cells isolated from other rat groups. Interestingly, corroborating our earlier cell-culture findings, we observed higher expression of BMPR-2 and BMPR-1B messenger RNA and significantly lower levels of BMPR-2 and BMPR-1B protein in HIV-cocaine PASMCs compared with cells isolated from all other groups. In conclusion, our findings support an additive effect of cocaine and HIV on smooth muscle dysfunction, resulting in enhanced pulmonary vascular remodeling with associated elevation of mean pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricle systolic pressure in HIV-Tg rats exposed to cocaine.

Human immunodeficiency virus transgenic rats exhibit pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious noninfectious disease involving an aberrant increase in pressure in the blood vessels of the lung, which leads to right ventricular (RV) heart failure and can eventually result in death. A lack of viable animal models of HIV-PAH has limited the identification of signaling pathways involved in HIV-mediated onset and progression of PAH. To determine whether the HIV-1 transgenic (HIV Tg) rat displays pathophysiological end points associated with PAH, we evaluated peak RV systolic pressure (RVSP), RV hypertrophy, pulmonary vessel remodeling, and alterations in gene expression by real-time PCR and microarray. RVSP was measured by RV catheterization via the right jugular vein in 3- and 9-mo-old HIV Tg and age-matched Fischer 344 (control) male rats while under 2% isoflurane anesthesia. RVSP was elevated in the HIV Tg rats (34.2 ± 2.5 mmHg) compared with the F344 controls (21.2 ± 2.5 mmHg), with more significant elevations in the 9-mo-old HIV Tg rats (42.5 ± 3.7 mmHg). We observed significant increases in RV wall thickness in HIV Tg rats compared with controls, both histologically and by echocardiograph measurement. HIV Tg rats also show increased thickening of the pulmonary artery and remodeling of small pulmonary arteries, as well as altered expression of gene pathways associated with PAH. These data represent the first analysis of PAH in HIV Tg rats and suggest that this model will be useful for investigating pathways and identifying potential therapies for HIV-PAH.

Multitype Infections With Human Papillomavirus: Impact of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Coinfection.

Project description:BackgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection predisposes women to genital coinfection with human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Concurrent infection with multiple HPV types has been documented, but its frequency, correlates, and impact on development of precancer are poorly defined in HIV-seropositive women.MethodsHuman immunodeficiency virus-seropositive women and -seronegative comparison women were enrolled in a cohort study and followed every 6 months from 1994 to 2006. Cervicovaginal lavage samples were tested for HPV types using polymerase chain reaction amplification with MY09/MY11 consensus primers followed by hybridization with consensus and HPV type-specific probes. Analyses were performed using generalized estimating equations.ResultsMultitype HPV infections were found in 594 (23%) of 2543 HIV-seropositive women and 49 (5%) of 895 HIV-seronegative women (P < 0.0001). Compared with HPV uninfected women, those with multiple concurrent HPV infections were more likely to be younger, nonwhite, and current smokers, with lower CD4 counts and HIV RNA levels. The average proportion of women with multitype HPV infections across visits was 21% in HIV-seropositive women and 3% in HIV-seronegative women (P <0.0001). Compared with infection with 1 oncogenic HPV type, multitype concurrent infection with at least 1 other HPV type at baseline did not measurably increase the risk of ever having cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3+ detected during follow-up (odds ratio, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.32-2.03, P = 0.65).ConclusionsConcurrent multitype HPV infection is common in HIV-seropositive women and frequency rises as CD4 count declines, but multitype infection does not increase precancer risk.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus nef signature sequences are associated with pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:Severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with vascular remodeling is a long-term complication of HIV infection (HIV-PH) affecting 1/200 infected individuals vs. 1/200,000 frequency in the uninfected population. Factors accounting for increased PH susceptibility in HIV-infected individuals are unknown. Rhesus macaques infected with chimeric SHIVnef virions but not with SIV display PH-like pulmonary vascular remodeling suggesting that HIV-Nef is associated with PH; these monkeys showed changes in nef sequences that correlated with pathogenesis after passage in vivo. We further examined whether HIV-nef alleles in HIV-PH subjects have signature sequences associated with the disease phenotype. We evaluated specimens from participants with and without HIV-PH from European Registries and validated results with samples collected as part of the Lung-HIV Studies in San Francisco. We found that 10 polymorphisms in nef were overrepresented in blood cells or lung tissue specimens from European HIV-PH individuals but significantly less frequent in HIV-infected individuals without PH. These polymorphisms mapped to known functional domains in Nef. In the validation cohort, 7/10 polymorphisms in the HIV-nef gene were confirmed; these polymorphisms arose independently from viral load, CD4(+) T cell counts, length of infection, and antiretroviral therapy status. Two out of 10 polymorphisms were previously reported in macaques with PH-like pulmonary vascular remodeling. Cloned recombinant Nef proteins from clinical samples down-regulated CD4, suggesting that these primary isolates are functional. This study offers new insights into the association between Nef polymorphisms in functional domains and the HIV-PH phenotype. The utility of these polymorphisms as predictors of PH should be examined in a larger population.
