Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has decreased HIV-1 associated morbidity. However, despite ART, immune cells remain latently infected and slowly release viral proteins, leading to chronic inflammation and HIV-1 associated comorbidities. New strategies are needed to target viral proteins and inflammation.

HIV-1-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is a severe complication of HIV-1 infection. To gain insight into the pathogenesis of kidney disease in the setting of HIV, a transgenic (Tg) mouse model [CD4C/HIV-negative regulator factor (Nef)] was used in which HIV-1 nef expression is under control of regulatory sequences (CD4C) of the human CD4 gene, thus allowing expression in target cells of the virus. These Tg mice develop a collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with microcystic dilatation, similar to human HIVAN.

The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated anogenital and oropharyngeal cancer in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is substantially higher than in HIV-uninfected individuals. HIV may also be a risk factor for the development of HPV-negative head and neck, liver, lung, and kidney cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HIV-1-associated increase of epithelial malignancies are not fully understood.

Background: To gain insight into the pathogenesis of collapsing glomerulopathy, a rare form of FSGS that often arises in the setting of viral infections, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) among inbred mouse strains using a murine model of HIV-1 associated nephropathy (HIVAN).
Methods: We first generated F1 hybrids between HIV-1 transgenic mice on the FVB/NJ background and 20 inbred laboratory strains. Analysis of histology, BUN, and urinary NGAL demonstrated marked phenotypic variation among the transgenic F1 hybrids, providing strong evidence for host genetic factors in the predisposition to nephropathy.
