Neurotoxicity caused by viral proteins, particularly the HIV-1 transactivator of transcription (Tat), contributes significantly to HAND. Although N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in astrocytes are known to regulate aquaporin-4 (AQP4) the mechanisms by which Tat influences NMDAR signaling and AQP4 expression remain unclear. This study investigated how HIV-1 Tat regulates AQP4 expression in astrocytes through the NMDAR/CaMKII/AC/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway and how secondary Ca2+ dynamics modulate this process. Astrocytic Ca2+ influx was measured using the Fluo-3 AM probe. Western blotting quantified AQP4, NR1, NR2A/B, CaMKII, p-CaMKII, PKA, and PKG expression. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assessed mRNA levels of AQP4 and NMDAR-related genes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) evaluated nitric oxide synthase activity, adenylate cyclase activity, and intracellular cAMP levels. Pharmacologic inhibitors-MK-801 (NMDAR blocker), H89 (PKA inhibitor), and KT5823 (protein kinase G [PKG] inhibitor)-were applied to investigate pathway interactions. HIV-1 Tat induced robust activation of NMDAR, resulting in increased Ca2+ influx and sequential activation of the CaMKII/AC/cAMP/PKA pathway, ultimately elevating AQP4. After prolonged Tat exposure (approximately 36 hours), a secondary surge in Ca2+ activated PKG, which acts as a protective negative feedback mechanism to inhibit excessive NMDAR activity, thereby stabilizing Ca2+ influx and preventing abnormal overexpression of AQP4. Cotreatment with MK-801, H89, or KT5823 suppressed Tat-induced Ca2+ influx and attenuated AQP4 upregulation, although persistent Tat exposure gradually restored Ca2+ elevations through compensatory mechanisms. HIV-1 Tat dynamically regulates AQP4 expression in astrocytes via the NMDAR/CaMKII/AC/cAMP/PKA pathway, with PKG-mediated feedback contributing to later stabilization. These findings highlight AQP4 as a potential therapeutic target for HAND.</p>","PeriodicalId":14560,"journal":{"name":"Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology","volume":"25 4","pages":"602-616"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148420926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical analyses, including multivariate logistic regression, were performed to compare infected and non-infected cohorts and identify independent predictors of infection. Of the 300 patients, 96 (32%) developed POIs. The infected group exhibited significantly higher SII (1142 ± 618 vs 792 ± 450) and lower PNI (40.1 ± 5.8 vs 46.4 ± 5.9) than the non-infected group.

The pilot was conducted from November 2019 through April 2020 in seven areas-Kerman, Maragheh, Ahvaz, Kashan, Urmia, Karun, and Qazvin-covering both urban and rural locations and a population of approximately one million people. Our objective was to report indicators related to the integration of asthma identification, referral, and management within the existing primary health care system. In total, 350,894 individuals were screened for asthma by PHCPs. The observed proportion of positive (probable) cases among those screened was 2.48%. Key process indicators included screening uptake (34%), attendance of referred cases at physician visits (83%), and follow-up adherence (49% of confirmed cases). We conclude that improving screening uptake and the accuracy of asthma case detection by PHCPs are the most effective strategies for enhancing care provision efficiency.
