These cells secrete viral and cell encoded neurotoxins that lead to neuronal injury, glial proliferation and myelin pallor during advancing disease (Genis <em>et al.</em>, 1992; Giulian <em>et al.</em>, 1990, 1993; Pulliam <em>et al.</em>, 1991). The apparent paradox between the distribution and numbers of virus infected cells and brain tissue pathology support indirect mechanisms for CNS damage (Epstein, 1993; Geleziunas <em>et al.</em>, 1992; Merrill and Chen, 1992; Michaels <em>et al.</em>, 1988; Price <em>et al.</em>, 1988). First, brain macrophages and microglia can produce neurotoxins by secretion of viral proteins (for example, gp120) (Dawson <em>et al.</em>, 1991; Merrill <em>et al.</em>, 1989; Lipton <em>et al.</em>, 1990; Lipton, 1993). Second, HIV primes macrophages for immune activation to produce neurotoxins including: cytokines (TNF(α and IL-1β), eicosanoids, quinolinate and nitric oxide (NO). Chronic immune stimulation mediated by opportunistic infections and chronic interferon gamma (IFNγ) production (in and outside the CNS) continues the process of macrophage activation leading to progressive neural injury. The hyperresponsiveness of HIV-infected macrophages to activation results in production of cellular factors that activate uninfected macrophages. This suggests that HIV-infected macrophages are both perpetrators and amplifiers for neurotoxic activities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79314,"journal":{"name":"Advances in neuroimmunology","volume":"4 3","pages":"Pages 189-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0960-5428(06)80256-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18873488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The toxicity associated with gp120 was examined as a model and predictor of the neuropathological and neuropsychiatric manifestations of AIDS. Studies of the neurotoxic effects of purified gp120 on neurons from the rodent CNS cell cultures indicated the following: potent and selective killing of subpopulations of hippocampal neurons; varying potency of gp120s obtained from various HIV isolates; complete and potent protection from gp120 killing action after treatment with peptides related to vasoactive intestinal peptide; and obligatory presence of glia for gp120-related toxicity. Investigations of gp120 treatment of rodents revealed: cortical neurodystrophy with reduced arborizations and swollen processes; delays in developmental behaviors involving motor skills; peptide T prevention or attenuation of the morphological and behavioral deficits/delays produced by administration of gp120; and impairment of learning in the Morris swim maze. In addition, studies of subcutaneously administered, radiolabeled gp120 in neonatal animals demonstrated the presence of toxic fragments of gp120 in the developing brain. With the use of model test systems of non-human derived cell cultures and neonatal rats, we have captured and predicted a number of the morphological and behavioral deficits associated with AIDS.
