In the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) the prevalence of HIV-associated CNS disease has increased despite suppression of plasma viremia. Using an SIV model system where all animals develop AIDS and 90% develop CNS disease by three months postinoculation (p.i.), pigtailed macaques were treated with a regimen of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, saquinavir, atazanavir, and an integrase inhibitor starting at 12 days and euthanized at ∼175 days p.i. Plasma and CSF viral loads declined rapidly after initiating HAART. Brain viral RNA was undetectable at necropsy but viral DNA levels were not different from untreated SIV-infected macaques. CNS inflammation was significantly reduced, with decreased brain expression of MHC Class II and GFAP and reduced CSF CCL2 and IL-6. Brain from treated macaques had significantly lower levels of IFNβ, the Type I IFN-inducible gene myxovirus (influenza) resistance A (MxA), and indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA suggesting suppressed immune hyperactivation, and fewer CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, suggesting reduced trafficking of T cells from peripheral blood. Brain levels of CD68 protein and TNFα and IFNγ RNA, while reduced, were not significantly lower, indicating continued CNS inflammation. These data, generated in a rigorous, high viral load, SIV/macaque model showed benefits of HAART therapy on CNS virus replication and inflammation but no change in the levels of viral DNA and continued CNS inflammation in some individuals.
