HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND) are estimated to affect almost 60% of HIV infected individuals. HIV-encephalitis (HIVE), the pathological correlate of the most severe form of HAND is often characterized by glial activation, cytokine/chemokine dysregulation, and neuronal damage and loss. However, the severity of HIVE correlates better with glial activation rather than viral load. Using the macaque model, it has been demonstrated that simian immunodeficiency virus encephalitis (SIVE) correlates with increased expression of the mitogen platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) chain in the brain. The present study was aimed at exploring the role of PDGF-B chain in HIV-associated activation and proliferation of astrocytes. Specifically, the data herein demonstrate that exposure of rat and human astrocytes to the HIV-1 protein, Tat resulted in the induction of PDGF at both the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, PDGF-BB induction was regulated by activation of ERK1/2 and JNK signaling pathways and the downstream transcription factor, early growth response 1(Egr-1). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrated binding of Egr-1 to the PDGF-B promoter. Exposure of astrocytes to PDGF-BB, in turn, led to both increased proliferation and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines MCP-1 and IL-1β. Since astrogliosis is linked to disease severity, understanding its regulation by PDGF-BB could aid in the development of therapeutic intervention strategies for HAND.
