HIV viral transcription and immune perturbations in the CNS of people with HIV despite ART

Shelli F. Farhadian et al.

Summary: People with HIV on antiretroviral therapy experience neurological impairment, possibly due to viral or neuroimmune causes. Single-cell analysis of paired cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood revealed the production of HIV-1 RNA in central memory CD4+ T cells in the cerebrospinal fluid, as well as a higher frequency of infected cells in the cerebrospinal fluid compared to the blood. Additionally, rare microglia-like cells in the cerebrospinal fluid were identified using a reliable cell surface marker, CD204. Abnormal CD8+ T cell activation was found to be prevalent in the cerebrospinal fluid of people with HIV, suggesting ongoing CNS viral persistence and compartmentalized neuroimmune effects.

The Block-and-Lock Strategy for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Cure: Lessons Learned from Didehydro-Cortistatin A

Chuan Li et al.

Summary: Antiretroviral therapy effectively controls HIV infection, but a reservoir of latently infected cells remains a barrier to a cure. The block-and-lock approach aims at silencing proviruses to prevent viral reactivation in the absence of therapy, with potential benefits and limitations for an HIV cure.

T cell derived HIV-1 is present in the CSF in the face of suppressive antiretroviral therapy

Gila Lustig et al.

Summary: This study found that despite suppression of HIV in the blood under antiretroviral therapy, HIV can still be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), originating at least partly from CD4+ T cells. No significant differences were observed in ART concentrations between CSF escape and fully suppressed individuals, suggesting that CSF HIV may not necessarily be due to drug resistance.

HIV-1 viral blips are associated with repeated and increasingly high levels of cell-associated HIV-1 RNA transcriptional activity

Kazuo Suzuki et al.

Summary: A new sensitive assay was used to measure HIV-1 RNA in HIV+ patients, revealing significant transcriptional activity from the viral reservoir during 'blips'. The study suggests that the detection of viral 'blips' reflects higher transcriptional activity and contributes to the reservoir over time, providing valuable information for HIV-1 cure strategies.

Alterations of Brain Metabolites in Adults With HIV A Systematic Meta-analysis of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Studies

Sophia Dahmani et al.

Summary: The study revealed that alterations in brain metabolites in people with HIV are primarily affected in the basal ganglia. While combination antiretroviral therapy can partially control neuroinflammation, neuronal dysfunction and neuroinflammation persist, contributing to cognitive impairment in chronic HIV infection.

Central nervous system (CNS) transcriptomic correlates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) brain RNA load in HIV-infected individuals

Pietro Paolo Sanna et al.

Summary: The study revealed that brain HIV RNA load is associated with inflammation, neuronal injury, and mitochondrial dysfunction, all of which impact neuropsychological function. Potential therapeutic targets may include regulating inflammation, improving neuronal function, and restoring mitochondrial function.
