Abstract:
Purpose: To investigate the effects of HAART on the oral health of HIV-infected individuals in Hong Kong.Key issues: Before the introduction of HAART in the management of HIV-infected individuals, opportunistic infections were common in this patient group. With the increasing use of HAART, which usually includes a protease inhibitor, the incidence of opportunistic infection has markedly decreased. Though a number of hypotheses had been proposed to explain this phenomenon, the actual mechanism is still unknown. Evidence is there that HAART exerts its effect by increasing the circulating CD4+ T cells, cellular and/or humoral responses. However, some surmise that protease inhibitors may have a direct anti-candidal effect, targeting the secreted aspartyl proteinases (Saps), an essential virulence attribute for mucosal infestation by C. albicans. The major aims of the study are;1. To obtain data on the incidence and prevalence of oral manifestations of HIV infection by a prospective screening programme of 60 patients under HAART with regards to their oral health. Once these parameters are noted they would be correlated with immunological indices such as CD4+ T cells count and viral load.(Hypothesis: there is a decrease in the prevalence and incidence of oral manifestations of HIV-infected individual under HAART) 2. To study the oral yeast using ‘concentrated oral rinse cultures’ to determine how the use of HAART with and without protease inhibitors can affect the oral carriage rates of Candida species in HIV-infected individuals.(Hypothesis: the oral carriage rate of C. albicans in HIV-infected individuals is decreased by the use of protease inhibitors)3. To determine C. albicans SAP1 SAP8 gene expression during oral infection and colonization in vivo and the effects of different protease inhibitors on the C. albicans SAP1 SAP8 gene expression. Results thus obtained may assist in the choice and dosage of protease inhibitors when treating these patients.(Hypothesis: SAP gene family are temporally regulated and expressed during candidal infection)4. To determine the effects of different protease inhibitors on the adherence of C.albicans to buccal epithelial cells, which allow us to have a better understanding in the pathogenesis of oral candidal infection in HIV infection.(Hypothesis: Adherence of C. albicans to buccal epithelial cells is decreased by the presence of protease inhibitors)5. Finally, the above data is to be collated to produce recommendations, which will improve the maintenance of oral health and hence the general health of HIV-infected individuals in Hong Kong.We are confident that the proposed studies could be successfully completed due to the expertise of the investigators. As far as we are aware, the proposed studies are pioneering investigations on HIV-infections in the South-East Asian region. Hence the data from the study should be of value not only for Hong Kong but also for the South East Asia for investigators in this field. Pending the outcome of the proposed studies, it is our intention to initiate collaborative studies with oral microbiologists and pathologists in neighbouring Asian countries.
