Extracellular HIV-1 Tat up-regulates expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 via a MAPK-NF-κB dependent pathway in human astrocytes

Abstract: The infiltration of monocytes into the CNS represents one of the early steps to inflammatory events in AIDS-related encephalitis and dementia. Increased activity of selected matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) such as MMP-9 impairs the integrity of blood-brain barrier leading to enhanced monocyte infiltration into the CNS. In this study, we examined the effect of HIV-1 Tat

“…Assay of MMP-9 activity by gelatin zymography MMP-9 activity was assessed by gelatin zymography as described previously (25). Briefly, cells were pretreated with control SOD (2 μM) or Tat-SOD (0.5, 1, and 2 μM) for 1 h, followed by exposure to TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for the indicated periods.…”

“…Tat is a regulatory protein which enhances viral transcription, RNA processing, and efficient viral replication (140, 219), with additional immune-modulatory effects on cytokine expression (e.g., IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α) and promotion of T cell apoptosis (3, 15, 39, 120, 274). Like Vpr, Tat is secreted by infected cells, can enter uninfected cells, and may exert local paracrine effects as well as circulating at detectable levels in the serum (36, 66, 270).…”
