Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) associated comorbidities account for the majority of poor health outcomes in people living with HIV (PLWH) in the era of antiretroviral therapy. Lung-related comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bacterial pneumonia are primarily responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in PLWH, even when compensated for smoking. Smokers and COPD patients demonstrate cilia shortening, attenuated ciliary beat frequency (CBF), dysfunctional ciliated cells along with goblet cell hyperplasia, and mucus hypersecretion. This is exacerbated by the fact that almost 60% of PLWH smoke tobacco, which can exacerbate inflammation and mucociliary clearance (MCC) dysfunction. This study shows that HIV Tat alters the microRNAome in airway epithelial cells and upregulates miR-34a-5p with consequent suppression of its target, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). SIRT1 is known to suppress Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17), a protease activating Notch signaling. HIV and cigarette smoke (CS) upregulate ADAM17. ADAM17 upregulation followed by SIRT1 suppression can lead to decreased ciliation, mucus hypersecretion, and attenuated MCC, a hallmark of chronic bronchitis in smokers and COPD. It is, therefore, essential to understand the pathophysiological mechanism resulting in acquired Notch dysregulation and its downstream impact on HIV-infected smokers.
