Viral protein R (Vpr) is an accessory protein of HIV and SIV involved in the pathogenesis of viral infection. In this study, we monitored SIV evolution in the central nervous system and other organs from morphine-dependent and control animals by sequencing vpr in an attempt to understand the relationship between drug abuse, disease progression, and compartmentalization of viral evolution. Animals...
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) have been shown to compartmentalize within various tissues, including the brain. However, the evolution of viral quasispecies in the setting of drug abuse has not been characterized. The goal of this study was to examine viral evolution in the cerebral compartment of morphine-dependent and control macaques to determine...
Three of six morphine-dependent monkeys progressed rapidly to AIDS and died by 20 weeks in our SIV/SHIV non-human primate model of drug addiction and AIDS. We studied the evolution of the SIV vpr gene in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in these rapid progressors, in their normal progressor counterparts and in infected, drug-free controls at 12 and 20 weeks post infection. Viral RNA was amplified,...
We analyzed the association between the evolution of the V3–V5 regions of env and disease progression in our SIV/SHIV macaque model of morphine dependence and AIDS. Previous studies revealed two distinct disease patterns—fast progression and normal progression. To determine the effect of the two distinct patterns of disease in the evolution of SIV/17E-Fr envelope, we analyzed env sequences from three...
Six morphine-exposed and 3 control male Indian rhesus macaques were intravenously inoculated with mixture of SHIV KU , SHIV 89.6 P and SIV/17E-Fr. These animals were followed for a period of 56 weeks in order to determine CD4 and CD8 profile, viral loads in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), relative distribution of 3 pathogenic viruses in blood and brain, binding as well neutralizing...
Morphine abuse has been associated with higher virus replication and accelerated disease progression in a non-human primate model of AIDS. In our previous report, we have shown that 50% of morphine-addicted macaques progress rapidly and that 2/3 of the rapid progressors exhibit severe neuropathogenesis. In this report, we examined the sequence evolution of the SIV Tat protein, known to participate...
