“…25 These observations agree with the reported data in which MIP-1␣, MIP-1␤, and, to a lesser extent, RANTES promote the secretion of pro-MMP-9 by T lymphocytes. 57 The presence of MMP-9 was recently reported in the cerebrospinal fluid in HIV-infected patients 31 and in the rapid progressors group of simian immunodeficiency virus-infected monkeys. High expression of MMP-9 was correlated to both motor and cognitive deficits.…”

“…29 In addition, in vitro studies reported evidence that HIV itself, or at least the HIV Tat or Nef proteins directly promote MMP-9 secretion. [30][31][32] The principal aim of this study was to assess the importance of coreceptors, in some pathogenic pathways induced by their respective chemokine or gp120 ligands, without the participation of the CD4 receptor. We examined signal transduction in different cell types on cell incubation with soluble gp120s (X4-or R5-tropic HIV strains) or chemokines (stromal cell-derived factor 1 ␣ [SDF-1␣] or macrophage inflammatory protein 1 ␤ [MIP-1␤]).…”

“…11,65,66 In vitro, Nef is lethal to neurons and glial cells in nanomolar concentrations and can increase the expression of MMPs, thus potentially modifying the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. 67,68 Nef has significant sequence homology with scorpion neurotoxins and like these venoms can cause the inactivation of a large-conductance potassium channels. [69][70][71] Based on these findings, it has been suggested that Nef contributes to the neuronal degeneration seen in HIV encephalitis.…”
