Project description:Our goal was to examine whether the HIV Tat peptide, which is usually secreted from infected cells and has the potential to act in other cell types, alters gene expression in the Central Nervous System, and whether a drug abuse co-morbidity, in the case Methamphetamine, can play a role in further modifying gene expression. In order to address the effects of HIV Tat and Methamphetamine, alone and combined, we used an in vivo mouse model that has been described to mimic several aspects of neuroHIV, including changes in inflammatory markers, and decreased expression of dopamine receptors. These animals are transgenic mice, which upon treatment with with doxycycline for 10 days, express TAT protein under the control of the glial fibrilary associated protein (GFAP) promoter in the brain. They were treated with Meth and Saline for identification of gene expression changes that result from Tat or Methamphetamine alone, or from their interaction. There was an overall suppression of gene expression by Methamphetamine, in Tat- mice. The expression of Tat caused most Meth-induced changes to remain at control levels.

Project description:U1 monocytic cell line was cloned from U937 cells that survived an infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV-1 and bear integration sites, serving as one of the most studied HIV latent models. Under the hypothesis that the hyperdopaminergic environment of the brain of substance users affects HIV-infected cells and latency, we tested the effects of Dopamine and two dopamine receptors that were identified as able to signal changes ininnate immune cells, DRD1 and DRD4.

Project description:Individual variation in the addiction liability of amphetamines can be explained, in part, by heritable genetic factors. We recently identified Hnrnph1 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1) as a quantitative trait gene underlying variance in the locomotor stimulant response to methamphetamine in mice. The functional consequences of Hnrnph1 mutation on MA reward and reinforcement and the mechanisms by which Hnrnph1 alters methamphetamine sensitivity are unknown but could involve functional perturbations in dopamine neurotransmission. Here, we showed that mice with a heterozygous mutation in the first coding exon of Hnrnph1 (H1+/-) exhibited reduced methamphetamine reinforcement and intake and dose-dependent changes in methamphetamine reward as measured via conditioned place preference. Accordingly, H1+/- mice showed a robust decrease in methamphetamine-induced dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens with no change in baseline dopamine levels, dopamine transporter levels, or dopamine uptake. Surprisingly, immunohistochemical and immunoblot staining of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and their forebrain projections for tyrosine hydroxylase did not reveal any obvious changes in intensity or numbers of cells stained or in the number of forebrain TH-positive puncta. Finally, we observed a two-fold increase in hnRNP H protein in the striatal synaptosme of H1+/- mice; proteomic analysis identified an increased abundance of several mitochondrial complex I and V proteins. We conclude that H1+/- deficits in behavior are associated with blunted MA-induced dopamine release and an upregulation of synaptic mitochondrial proteins.

Project description:Methamphetamine can trigger dopamine releasing in human brain, now used as abuse drug. Some studies have shown that specific genes and proteins responded to, methamphetamine, but little is known about the overall “omic” response of organisms to this illicit substance. Here we demonstrate that Drosophila melanogaster has the potential to give us significant insights into evolutionarily conserved responses to methamphetamine. We performed metabolome, proteome, and transciptome profiling with Drosophila treated with methamphetamine. The proteomic profiling revealed responses associated with known physiological problems that occur with methamphetamine usage in mammals. The metabolomic result showed that the metabolite trehalose was decreased significantly after methamphetamine exposure, suggesting an oxidative stress response to this drug. Many of the differential transcribed genes, including detoxification enzymes, had the potential transcription factor-binding motif YY1 associated with their upstream regulatory regions. YY1 is known to be responsive to amphetamines in mammals.

Project description:This study addresses the individual and combined effects of HIV-1 and methamphetamine (N-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine, METH) on cardiac dysfunction in a transgenic mouse model of HIV/AIDS. METH is abused epidemically and is frequently associated with acquisition of HIV-1 infection or AIDS. We employed microarrays to identify mRNA differences in cardiac left ventricle (LV) gene expression following METH administration (10d, 3mg/kg/d, subcutaneously) in C57Bl/6 wild-type littermates (WT) and Tat-expressing transgenic (TG) mice. Arrays identified 880 differentially expressed genes (expression fold change>1.5, p<0.05) following METH exposure, Tat expression, or both. Using pathway enrichment analysis, mRNAs encoding polypeptides for calcium signaling and contractility were altered in the LV samples. Correlative DNA methylation analysis revealed significant LV DNA methylation changes following METH exposure and Tat expression. By combining these data sets, 38 gene promoters (27 related to METH, 11 related to Tat) exhibited differences by both methods of analysis. Among those, only the promoter for CACNA1C that encodes L-type calcium channel Cav1.2 displayed DNA methylation changes concordant with its gene expression change. Quantitative PCR verified that Cav1.2 LV mRNA abundance doubled following METH. Correlative immunoblots specific for Cav1.2 revealed a 3.5-fold increase in protein abundance in METH LVs. Data implicate Cav1.2 in calcium dysregulation and hypercontractility in the murine LV exposed to METH. They suggest a pathogenetic role for METH exposure to promote LV dysfunction that outweighs Tat-induced effects. This study addresses how HIV-1 and methamphetamine comorbidities affect cardiac (left ventricle) gene expression and epigenetic nuclear DNA methylation.

Two treatments were produced (control VS 0.6% 24 h meth-fed).

Project description:In the 21st century, the effects of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) have been significantly reduced in individuals due to the development of antiretroviral therapies (ARTs). However, the growing epidemic of polysubstance use (PSU) has led to concern for the effects of PSU on HIV-seropositive individuals. To effectively treat individuals affected by HAND, it is critical to understand the biological mechanisms affected by PSU including identification of novel markers. To fill this important knowledge gap, we used an in vivo HIV-Transgenic (HIV-Tg) animal model, to investigate the effects of the combined use of chronic methamphetamine (METH) and oxycodone (oxy). RNA-Seq analysis on the striatum - a brain region that is primarily targeted by both HIV and drugs of abuse - identified key differentially expressed markers post-METH and oxy exposure. Furthermore, ClueGO analysis and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed crucial molecular and biological functions associated with ATP-activated adenosine receptor, neuropeptide hormone activity, and the oxytocin signaling pathway to be altered between the different treatment groups. The current study further reveals the harmful effects of chronic PSU and HIV infection that can subsequently impact neurological outcomes in polysubstance users with HAND.
