Abstract
- Monocytes play a vital role in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND), postulated to transport HIV into the brain and secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines. We analyzed cytokines released by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells enriched with the CD14+ marker isolated from HIV-infected individuals with HAND and normal cognition (NC) in combination antiretroviral therapy naive and after 1 year on treatment. Interleukin-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels were higher in HAND compared with NC at baseline (P = 0.002 and P < 0.0001). These cytokines remained higher in HAND patients 1 year after combination antiretroviral therapy and were significant when NC patients who were initially HAND were excluded (P = 0.012 and P = 0.002). Both correlated with baseline CD14+ peripheral blood mononuclear cell HIV DNA levels supporting the role of HIV DNA reservoir size and monocyte cytokines in HAND persistence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
