DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a great public health need in finding an efficacious therapy for pain management for HIV- infected individuals. We have shown that both opioid and chemokine receptors can influence each other's functions by heterologous desensitization. Particularly, we have demonstrated that the activation of CXCR4 in the PAG diminishes the analgesic efficacy of morphine (Adler et al., 2006). Based on the fact that gp120 (T- tropic) and a CXCR4 antagonist (e.g. AMD 3100, T40) share the same receptor for their mechanism of action [the gp120 effect (T-tropic) is mediated by its binding to and activation of CXCR4 receptor, and AMD 3100 is an antagonist for this receptor], and the activation of CXCR4 diminishes morphine-induced analgesia (Adler et al., 2006], we propose to investigate whether the blockade of gp120 action on CXCR4 by CXCR4 antagonists will impact the analgesic efficacy of opioid medication. Our hypothesis is that, in addition to its ability to decrease HIV entry into cells, CXCR4 antagonists, by blocking the gp120 utilization of the CXCR4 receptor, can prevent or diminish gp120-induced pain. This occurs via an interaction between CXCR4 and mu-opioid receptors, thus preventing the blocking action that results from the heterologous desensitization of the mu opioid receptor, thereby increasing the analgesic efficacy of opioid medications. In this proposal we will investigate the in vivo consequences of the combined effect CXCR4 antagonists and morphine on gp120-induced pain (AIM#1). Combinations of drugs are frequently used therapeutically to achieve an enhanced effect without using an excess quantity of either drug. Given the recent approval of small chemokine antagonists for treatment of HIV and their ability to prevent HIV from entering cells, the determination of whether the combinations of chemokine antagonists and opioid medication will achieve superior efficacy in managing HIV-related pain is crucial, timely and completely novel. The opportunities for effectively addressing the functional interaction between chemokine antagonists and opioid medications in the presence of HIV-gp120 in the brain is relevant for public health, particularly the field of HIV- related pain and opioids. Ultimately, these studies may provide a rational basis for a therapeutic strategy that targets simultaneously the HIV infection and related pain. ! !

描述(由申请人提供)：为艾滋病毒感染者寻找有效的疼痛治疗方法是公共卫生的重大需求。我们已经证明，阿片受体和趋化因子受体都可以通过异源脱敏作用影响彼此的功能。特别是，我们已经证明了PAG中CXCR4的激活降低了吗啡的止痛效果(Adler等人，2006年)。鉴于gp120(T趋性)和CXCR4拮抗剂(如AMD 3100、T40)具有相同受体的作用机制[gp120效应(T趋性)是通过其与CXCR4受体的结合和激活而介导的，而AMD 3100是该受体的拮抗剂]，并且CXCR4的激活减弱了吗啡的镇痛作用(Adler等人，2006)，我们建议研究CXCR4拮抗剂阻断gp120对CXCR4的作用是否会影响阿片类药物的镇痛效果。我们的假设是，除了减少HIV进入细胞的能力外，CXCR4拮抗剂通过阻断CXCR4受体的gp120利用，还可以防止或减轻gp120诱导的疼痛。这是通过CXCR4和u-阿片受体之间的相互作用而发生的，从而阻止了由于u阿片受体的异源脱敏而导致的阻断作用，从而增加了阿片类药物的镇痛效果。在这项提案中，我们将研究CXCR4拮抗剂和吗啡对gp120诱导的疼痛的联合作用在体内的后果(AIM#1)。在治疗上经常使用药物的组合，以达到增强效果，而不使用过量的任何一种药物。鉴于最近小的趋化因子拮抗剂被批准用于治疗艾滋病毒，以及它们能够防止艾滋病毒进入细胞，确定趋化因子拮抗剂和阿片类药物的组合在控制艾滋病毒相关疼痛方面是否会取得更好的效果是至关重要的、及时的和完全新颖的。在大脑中存在艾滋病毒-gp120的情况下，有效处理趋化因子拮抗剂和阿片类药物之间的功能相互作用的机会与公共健康有关，特别是与艾滋病毒相关的疼痛和阿片类药物领域。最终，这些研究可能为同时针对艾滋病毒感染和相关疼痛的治疗策略提供合理的基础。！！
