Inflammasome Activation Via Circulating Metabolites

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The clinical challenges confronting patients with HIV has shifted over the past 10 years from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome to chronic diseases including atherosclerosis, neurocognitive disorders, and osteoporosis. Chronic low grade inflammation and monocyte activation have been consistently associated with comorbidities in HIV patients. Indeed, recent studies indicate that inflammatory mediators including IL-6, IL-1, sCD14 and s CD163 produced by monocytes, but not T-cell activation, predict Non-AIDS-related events in virologically suppressed HIV-infected persons treated with combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), highlighting the important role of monocyte activation in the occurrence of comorbidities in cART-treated HIV infected patients. Yet, the underlying molecular pathways of persistent monocyte activation in cART treated HIV-infected patients remains incompletely characterized. Our preliminary results: 1/ establish a link between the activation of the inflammasome, the increased of pyrimidine-derived metabolites and the cardiovascular risk in a cohort of elderly patients; 2/ show that treated HIV-patients are characterized by increased soluble IL-1b or IL-18 in their blood suggesting that the inflammasome pathway is activated.

Objectives: In this study we will characterize the molecular pathways underlying persistent monocyte activation in treated HIV patients, through the implication of the activation of the inflammasome machinery: 1. Characterization of NOD like Receptor (NLR) expression in monocytes for IL-1b and IL-18 secretion (inflammasome activation); 2. Characterization of circulating metabolites that active the inflammasome machinery; 3. Evaluation of the link between the activation of the inflammasome, the increased of circulating metabolites and the non-AIDS related comorbidities.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
