摘要:
Background: Increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein type 1 (MCP-1) is associated with HIV CNS disease. This Study evaluated the temporal relationships between MCP-1 expression and HIV replication in the CNS. Methods: MCP-1 and HIV viral load (VL) were measured in serially obtained samples of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in subjects either interrupting (TI) or starting (TS) antiretroviral therapy. Results: Following Tl, plasma VL rebounded first, followed by increases in CSF MCP-1, which immediately preceded or coincided with a rebound of CSF VL. Conclusion: The close temporal relationship of the increase of MCP-1 and CSF VL suggests that they are co-regulated, or that one is a stimulus for the other. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
