We sought to identify neurotoxin(s) secreted by HIV-1-infected mononuclear phagocytes that could contribute to the pathophysiology of HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD). Neurotoxic factors were characterized in batches of conditioned media (CM) from human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) infected with HIV-1(ADA) and/or activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). All of the neurotoxicity was: present in the < 3000-Da fraction; blocked by 5 M MK801; and not trypsin sensitive or extractable into polar organic solvents. Glutamate measured in CM accounted for all neurotoxic effects observed from HIV/LPS CM in astrocyte-poor neuronal cultures and may contribute to the pathophysiology of HIV-1-associated dementia.
