7 DOMAIN STRUCTURE OF HIV TRANSACTIVATING (TAT) PROTEIN NEUROTOXIC REGION N CORE 86 C CYSTEINE RICH DOMAIN TAR BINDING DOMAIN TRANSACTIVATION CO-FACTOR BINDING From Dr. U Ranga, JNCSAR

8 The Question HIV-1 B or Viral Protein Tat B HIV-1 C or Viral Protein Tat C? Neuronal Cell Death Differences in HAD in HIV-1 B and C Endemic areas

9 Challenges in NeuroAIDS Field Understanding how HIV-1 infection of CNS causes neurological complications remains a challenging task, mainly due to - lack of good animal models for HIV-1 limited access to brain tissue with different stages of HIV infection or AIDS For improved understanding of neuropathogenesis in HAD, use of an in vitro system is mandatory

10 Human Fetal Brain cells : Culture Procedure Brain dissected Aseptically (8-16 weeks Gs) (Dr. S. Sharma & Dr. N. Thapar, Civil Hospital Gurgaon) Cultured in PDL Coated culture flasks for 5-7 days in appropriate media (Without serum) Cells Passaged Identified by Morphology and Immunostaining with cell specific markers For purity of cell population

11 Human Fetal Brain Derived Cells: Differentiated Human Fetal Brain Derived Neurosphere: Neuronal Lineage Tuj-1 Nestin Nestin / Tuj-1 Merge

25 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Depolarization of Human Primary Neurons Following Exposure to Astrocyte Supernatants: JC-1 Green Aggregates Tat C Mutant CC

26 Active Caspase 3 Expression in Human Neurons Exposed to Tat Transfected Astrocyte Supernatants

27 CCL2/MCP-1 Production from Human Astrocytes Exposed to Tat Protein or Tat Expressing Vectors

28 Conclusions Functional differences in HIV-1 Tat B and Tat C, in terms of damage to human neurons, oxidative stress, depolarization of mitochondrial membrane and production of CCL2 / MCP-1 chemokine. The natural variation of C to S at the amino acid at position number 31 in Tat protein is responsible for the changes seen in Tat C. Our findings correlate with clinical observations made in AIDS patients in India where there is a low prevalence of HIV-1 associated dementia.
