Programmed cell death in brains of HIV-1-positive AIDS and pre-AIDS patients.

Abstract:

:Neuropathological studies have revealed that the brains of HIV-1-infected AIDS patients show the typical encephalitis and, in addition, neuronal loss. More recently, this neuronal cell loss has been thought to take place via programmed cell death (apoptosis) which has been demonstrated by an in situ end labelling (ISEL) technique. In this study 54 brains of HIV-1-positive patients were investigated by the ISEL technique to investigate whether apoptosis is also present in the brains of patients at the asymptomatic stage. Of these, 10 patients suffered from HIV encephalitis (HIVE), 8 had AIDS without neuropathological disorders and 36 were HIV-1-positive pre-AIDS patients. Apoptotic cells were detected in 6 of the 10 HIVE, 1 of the 8 AIDS without central nervous system (CNS) disease and 4 of the 36 asymptomatic individuals. A difference seen between the AIDS and pre-AIDS cases was that, in the latter, apoptotic cells were found in the white matter in all 4 cases, while only 2 of these 4 showed apoptotic neurons. The presence of apoptotic cells in a number, albeit small, of brains of HIV-1-positive pre-AIDS individuals, combined with abnormalities described previously in the same group of patients gives further support to the opinion that brain damage already occurs during the early stages of HIV infection.
