HIV-1 Vpr-Induced Proinflammatory Response and Apoptosis Are Mediated through the Sur1-Trpm4 Channel in Astrocytes
ABSTRACT Successful treatment of HIV-infected patients with combinational antiretroviral therapies (cART) can now prolong patients’ lives to nearly normal life spans. However, the new challenge faced by many of those HIV-infected patients is chronic neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity that often lea...

However, the severity of HAND does not always correlate with HIV-1 viral load but, rather, with the extent of glial activation, suggesting that other HIV-associated factors might contribute to HAND. HIV-1 viral protein R (Vpr) could be one of those viral factors because of its association with neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity. The objective of this study was to delineate the specific roles of HIV-1 infection and Vpr in the activation of neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity, and the possible relationships with the Sur1-Trpm4 channel that contributes to neuroinflammation and neuronal death. Here, we show that HIV-1 expression correlates with activation of proinflammatory markers (TLR4, TNF-α, and NF-κB) and the Sur1-Trpm4 channel in astrocytes of HIV-infected postmortem human and transgenic Tg26 mouse brain tissues. We further show that Vpr alone activates the same set of proinflammatory markers and Sur1 in a glioblastoma SNB19 cell line that is accompanied by apoptosis. The Sur1 inhibitor glibenclamide significantly reduced Vpr-induced apoptosis. Together, our data suggest that HIV-1 Vpr-induced proinflammatory response and apoptosis are mediated at least in part through the Sur1-Trpm4 channel in astrocytes.
