Abstract:

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of interferon-inducible protein-10(IP-10) for antiviral therapy in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) patients. Methods Totally,200 AIDS patients(AIDS group) receiving highly active antiroviral therapy(HAART) were enrolled and classified into HIV-1 inhibition group and HIV-1 non-inhibition group according to curative effect. The percentage of CD4+ T cells,the percentage of CD8+ T cells,the virus load of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-1 and the level of IP-10 were determined before treatment and at 2 weeks,1 month,2 months,3 months,6 months,12 months and 18 months after treatment. A total of 100 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between IP-10 and the other indicators. Results The level of HIV-1 RNA in AIDS group before treatment was(4.62±0.73) lg copies/mL. The percentage of CD4+ T cells in AIDS group was lower than that in healthy control group(P<0.01). The level of IP-10 and the percentage of CD8+ T cells were higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.01). Compared with those before treatment,with the extension of treatment time,the percentage of CD4+ T cells increased gradually(P<0.01),the percentage of CD8+ T cells and the levels of IP-10 and HIV-1 RNA decreased gradually(P<0.01),and the proportion of patients with inhibited HIV-1 replication increased gradually(P<0.01). At 3,6,12 and 18 months of treatment,the percentage of CD4+ T cells in HIV-1 inhibition group was higher than that in HIV-1 non-inhibition group(P<0.01),and the percentage of CD8+ T cells and IP-10 level were lower than those in HIV-1 non-inhibition group(P<0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the level of IP-10 in AIDS patients was negatively correlated with the percentage of CD4+ T cells(r=-0.763,P<0.05),and it was positively correlated with the percentage of CD8+ T cells and the level of HIV-1 RNA(r=0.801,P<0.05;r=0.823,P<0.05). Conclusions The level of IP-10 in AIDS patients is related to the levels of CD4+ T cells,CD8+ T cells and HIV-1 RNA. It is an indicator of potential AIDS and efficacy evaluation.
