Inflammasome Activation Via Circulating Metabolites (InflammoVIH)

Residual Immune Activation in HIV-infected Patients on Successful cART: Association Between Inflammasome Activation in Monocytes by Circulating Metabolites and Non AIDS Defining Comorbidities

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Characterization of NLR (s) implicated in IL-18 up-regulation (inflammasome activation) in HIV
Time Frame: At baseline (D0)
  • The metabolic profile in purified monocytes from HIV patients through label-free proteomics and assignment of metabolic targets
  • The expression of NLR genes by quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) in purified monocytes from HIV patients.
At baseline (D0)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Characterization of circulating metabolites that active the inflammasome machinery
Time Frame: At baseline (D0)
  • analysis of the ability of sera from HIV patients to activate inflammasome in HIV negative monocytes, and to induce IL-1, IL-18, or both secretion.
  • metabolomic profile
  • analysis of the ability of predominant metabolites in HIV patients to activate inflammasome.
At baseline (D0)
Non-AIDS related comorbidities
Time Frame: At baseline (D0)
metabolites of interest, inflammasome activation measured by IL-1b and IL-18
