摘要
目的探讨METH和HIV-1Tat蛋白协同诱导树鼩中脑神经元自噬的可能机制。方法本文以树鼩原代中脑神经元为模型,采用Western blot和Real-time PCR法测定METH和HIV-1Tat蛋白治疗细胞后,细胞中ATG5/7蛋白和基因的表达。结果 METH和HIV-1Tat蛋白能够诱导树鼩原代中脑神经元自噬,两者具有协同效应,且通过调节ATG5/7基因表达上调ATG5/7蛋白,进而调控自噬。结论 ATG5/7基因参与了METH和HIV-1Tat蛋白诱导的树鼩中脑神经元自噬,这一结论为研究艾滋病脑病和自噬之间的关系提供了新的理论依据。
Objective Although the clinical implementation of antiretroviral therapy( c ART) has significantly prolonged the lifetime of AIDS patients,HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders( HANDs) remain a critical concern in a considerable number of HIV-positive individuals. HIV-1 Tat protein is a viral protein released from HIV-infected cells,which may be one of the underlying mechanisms behind HANDs. Methamphetamine( METH) can penetrate the blood-brain barrier,damaging nerve cells and increasing the risk of HANDs. The combination of HIV-1 Tat and METH can induce autophagy and apoptosis in nerve cells,but the regulatory mechanism behind this has remained unclear. Methods In this study,the primary midbrain neurons of tree shrews were used to determine the expression of ATG5/7 proteins and genes induced by HIV-1 Tat and METH via Western blot and real-time PCR. Results HIV-1 Tat protein and METH induced autophagy in tree shrews’ primary midbrain neurons and had a synergistic effect. ATG5/7 genes were involved in this autophagy. Conclusions ATG5/7 genes are involved in HIV-1 Tat protein and METH-induced autophagy of nerve cells,which provides a new theoretical basis for studying the relationship between HANDs and autophagy.
