项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Illicit drugs such as methamphetamine (METH) alter immune functions and decreases host resistance. There is an association between METH abuse and enhanced susceptibility to infections; however, underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. High incidence of HIV-1 infection in METH abusers and potential effects of METH on immune system underscore clinical significance of METH-HIV-1 co-morbidity. Defective immune responses could lead to the accelerated HIV-1 infection in the peripheral organs and central nervous system (CNS). Preliminary data point to the oxidative stress as one of possible causes of METH induced immune dysfunction. Indeed, our preliminary studies indicate that METH exposure elicits oxidative stress in T cells and upon T-cell receptor stimulation show T cell proliferation and decreases cytokine production. T cells exposed to METH demonstrate modulation of genes controlling in immune cell activation and T cell surface markers. Therefore, we hypothesize that the oxidative stress caused by METH in T lymphocytes dampens immune responses, impairs T cell activation and proliferation leading to enhanced progression of HIV-1 infection. Using a combination of in vitro systems and animal model for HIV-1 encephalitis chronically exposed to METH, we will address the following questions: (1) What are the potential implications of METH- induced oxidative stress on T cell functions? (2) What are the mechanisms underlying impaired T cell immune responses mediated by oxidative stress associated with METH? (3) How does T cell dysfunction affect the adaptive immune system responses to HIV-1 infection in and outside of CNS? Antioxidants and specific signaling inhibitors will be utilized to delineate pathways involved in these effects. We believe that the proposed works are highly significant as they will uncover novel mechanisms mediating combined effects of HIV-1 and METH abuse on immunity and propose therapeutic approaches based on these investigations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant abused by millions of Americans and is known to alter immune function and increase susceptibility to infection. Epidemiological studies indicate growing evidence of the association between METH abuse and an increased incidence of HIV-1 infections. However, the apparent causal interrelationship between METH abuse and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection or its progression are largely unknown. This proposal aims to understand putative mechanisms of immune dysfunctions in the setting of METH abuse and HIV-1 infection.

描述（由申请人提供）：甲基苯丙胺（METH）等非法药物会改变免疫功能并降低宿主的耐药性。甲基苯丙胺滥用与增强感染的敏感性之间存在关联；但是，潜在的机制在很大程度上是未知的。 HIV-1感染的高发病率发生率，甲基甲基甲基免疫系统的潜在影响强调了MECH-HIV-1合并症的临床意义。免疫反应有缺陷会导致周围器官和中枢神经系统（CNS）中的HIV-1感染加速。初步数据将氧化应激视为甲基甲基免疫功能障碍的可能原因之一。实际上，我们的初步研究表明，甲基暴露会引起T细胞中的氧化应激，而在T细胞受体刺激下会显示T细胞增殖并降低细胞因子的产生。暴露于甲基的T细胞表明在免疫细胞活化和T细胞表面标记中控制基因的调节。因此，我们假设由T淋巴细胞中的甲基甲基产生的氧化应激会抑制免疫反应，从而损害T细胞的激活和增殖，从而增强HIV-1感染的进展。使用长期暴露于甲基甲基的HIV-1脑炎的体外系统和动物模型的结合，我们将解决以下问题：（1）甲基毒性氧化应激对T细胞功能的潜在影响是什么？（2）与甲基相关的氧化应激介导的T细胞免疫反应受损的基础机制是什么？（3）T细胞功能障碍如何影响CNS内外的适应性免疫系统对HIV-1感染的反应？将利用抗氧化剂和特定的信号抑制剂来描述与这些作用有关的途径。我们认为，所提出的作品非常重要，因为它们将发现介导HIV-1和METH滥用对免疫的组合作用的新型机制，并根据这些研究提出治疗方法。公共卫生相关性甲基苯丙胺是数百万美国人滥用的一种高度上瘾的兴奋剂，众所周知会改变免疫功能并增加感染的易感性。流行病学研究表明，越来越多的证据证明了甲基苯丙胺滥用与HIV-1感染发生率增加之间的关联。但是，在很大程度上未知，甲基苯丙胺滥用与易感性感染或其进展之间的明显因果关系。该建议旨在了解甲基滥用和HIV-1感染的免疫功能障碍的假定机制。
