Popis: |
METH and HIV Tat treatment results in increased oxidative stress which affects cellular metabolism and causes DNA damage in the treated microglia. Both, METH ± HIV Tat impair mitochondrial respiration, leading to dysfunction in bioenergetics and increased ROS in microglial cells. Our data indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction may be key to the METH and/or HIV Tat-induced neuropathology. METH and/or HIV Tat induced changes in the protein, lipid and nucleotide concentration in microglial cells were measured by Raman Spectroscopy, and we speculate that these fundamental molecular-cellular changes in microglial cells contribute to the neuropathology that is associated with METH abuse in HIV patients. |
