Abstract:
:HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) continue to persist despite effective control of viral replication. Although the mechanisms underlying HAND are poorly understood, recent attention has focused on altered neuronal population activity as a correlate of impaired cognition. However, while alterations in neuronal population activity in the gamma frequency range are noted in the setting of HAND, the underlying mechanisms for these changes is unclear. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a specialized extracellular matrix that surrounds a subset of inhibitory neurons important to the expression of neuronal oscillatory activity. In the present study, we observe that levels of PNN-degrading matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are elevated in HIV-infected post-mortem human brain tissue. Furthermore, analysis of two PNN components, aggrecan and brevican, reveals increased proteolysis in HIV-infected brains. In addition, local field potential recordings from ex vivo mouse hippocampal slices demonstrate that the power of carbachol-induced gamma activity is increased following PNN degradation. Together, these results provide a possible mechanism whereby increased MMP proteolysis of PNNs may stimulate altered neuronal oscillatory activity and contribute to HAND symptoms.
