Take Action:Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:HIV-Weakened Blood-Brain Barrier Could Help Explain Cognitive Problems
June 29, 2011 - AIDSmeds
An expert team of neuroscientists has discovered that HIV weakens the blood-brain barrier that keeps infectious diseases and harmful chemicals from entering and damaging the brain. The study, to be published in the June 29 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, could help explain why some people experience cognitive problems despite having undetectable viral loads from antiretroviral (ARV) therapy.
Since HIV's discovery in the early 1980s, people with HIV have been contending with the virus's harmful effects on the brain. In those early days, and for more than a decade thereafter, people frequently came down with serious brain problems such as severe dementia and meningitis. Since the introduction of potent combination ARV therapy in the late 1990s, the incidence of more severe brain disease has diminished considerably; however, challenges remain--even in people with high CD4s who have their virus in check.
In the past couple of years, several research teams have confirmed that rates of mild cognitive decline and peripheral nerve damage are still occurring at much higher rates in HIV-positive people than in the general public. In fact, one study found that perhaps half of all people with HIV have at least some cognitive defects, although the symptoms are generally so mild that most people aren't even aware of them. What's more, the brain damage and inflammation that HIV brings apparently occur even in people whose virus levels in the blood are undetectable.
To better explain why this occurs, Eliseo Eugenin, PhD, from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, and his colleagues have been studying a type of brain cell known as an astrocyte for several years. Astrocytes, which are neural cells that can live inside blood vessels near the brain, help the blood-brain barrier function properly. In a 2007 paper, Eugenin's team documented the fact that up to 5 percent of astrocytes in this region are infected with HIV, though it is not yet clear how many are infected in people taking ARVs; however, even this finding couldn't totally explain the ongoing brain damage that other studies have found in these people.
Eugenin and his colleagues next looked at the signaling molecules that astrocytes use to communicate with other astrocytes. These chemicals, called gap junctions, help the astrocytes work with epithelial cells lining blood vessels to let in molecules that are helpful to the brain, while filtering out those that are harmful. Specifically, Eugenin's team created an artificial model of the blood-brain barrier and then recorded the astrocytes' health and ability to function.
The team found that the HIV in those 5 percent of infected cells caused considerable damage to neighboring astrocytes--likely through releasing toxic chemicals--and that the neighboring astrocytes eventually died off. To confirm whether this die-off, and the resulting damage to the blood-brain barrier, could happen in the real world, Eugenin's team looked at a similar process in macaque monkeys infected with the monkey version of HIV. It turned out that the infected astrocytes in the monkeys' brains caused similar damage to surrounding astrocytes.
"Researchers have been stymied to explain why HIV-associated neurological complications persist, despite potent combination antiviral therapies that have dramatically improved health and survival," said Igor Grant, MD, an expert at the University of California at San Diego who studies HIV-related brain damage, in a release published by Eurekalart. "This study provides a possible explanation indicating that minute numbers of infected astrocytes can trigger a cascade of signals that could open the brain to various toxic influences."
Now that researchers are aware of the toxic effects of infected astrocytes, it is hoped that new drugs could be found to block the harmful chemical transmissions from those infected cells and help keep the blood-brain barrier intact.
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck's radio show and his quest spots on Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights. Update: Boycott Successful: Update 4/7/2011: Beck has been fired by FOX NEWS! Radio stations dropping Beck as well in several locations. Now, tell FOX to stop having Beck as a Guest.
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!
- "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Again, Dump NBC because they air/re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! Now the Donald Claims the Long Form Birth certificate is a fraud. And NBC keeps this guy?
This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the guy that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!
