Immune activation and inflammation in HIV-1 infection: causes and consequences.
Thorough research on HIV is progressively enabling us to understand the intricate mechanisms that link HIV-1 infection to the onset of immunodeficiency. The infection and depletion of CD4(+) T cells represent the most fundamental events in HIV-1 infection. However, in recent years, the role played by chronic immune activation and inflammation in HIV pathogenesis has become increasingly apparent...
متن کاملThe Impact of Inflammation and Immune Activation on B Cell Differentiation during HIV-1 Infection
One important pathogenic feature of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection is chronic immune activation and impaired survival of T and B cells. A decline of resting memory B cells was reported to occur in both children and adults infected with HIV-1; these cells are responsible for maintaining an adequate serological response to antigens previously encountered in life through natural in...
متن کاملInnate immune activation in primary HIV-1 infection.
There is growing evidence that highlights the role of the immune response during acute human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in the control or development of disease. The adaptive immune responses do not appear until after HIV-1 infection is already well established, so the role of earlier and faster-responding innate immunity needs to be more closely scrutinized. In particular,...
متن کاملInflammation, immune activation, and cardiovascular disease in HIV.
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV. Several epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke compared to uninfected controls. Although traditional risk factors contribute to this increased risk of cardiovascular disease, HIV-specific mechanisms likely also play a role. Systemic inflamma...
متن کاملInflammation in Parkinson’s Disease: Causes and Consequences
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with a prevalence of 0.5-1% among persons older than 65 years of age (Toulouse & Sullivan, 2008). The incidence increases to 2.6% in persons aged 85 and older, and has a mean age of onset of 55 years. Statistics released in 1990 from a unique global study carried out by the W...
