1 HIV VPR alters fat metabolism Dorothy E Lewis PhD/Ashok Balasubramanyam MD

2 Old Dogma for HIV associated lipodystrophy Differentiation Block (PI) Lipoatrophy Apoptosis (NRTI) Stem cell Preadipocyte Adipocyte C/EBPβ/δ SREBP1 PPAR-γ Induction LPL, HSL, ap2, of lipogenic perilipin genes BUT, happens without ART and in Elite suppressors COULD HIV CAUSE????

3 Metabolic features of HIV (218) Less lipoatrophy Less severe dyslipidemia More generalized obesity Dysglycemia, CVD, osteoporosis, NAFLD

4 Could there be a direct viral cause? VPR in virally suppressed people VPR is systemic and circulates VPR acts without whole virus

5 Vpr in virally suppressed patients (Immunoaffinity Capillary Electrophoresis) no ART NRTI HAART HAART with undetectable VL N (2) (25) (61) (7) (25) Agarwal et al, Science Transl Med 213

6 Mouse Models to study VPR effects A. Vpr-Transgenic Model Inducible expression of Vpr in liver and fat PEPCK SV4 3 UT Tissue-specific promoter Tetracycline transactivator Tet repressor and DNA binding domain VP16 activation domain (teto) 7 Transgene coding region Vpr SV4 3 UT B. Circulating Vpr Model (svpr treatment) Alzet pump filled with vehicle or svpr Incision made to implant Alzet pump Mouse before and after Alzet implant
