Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral β-amyloid deposition predicts HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders in APOE ε4 carriers.
Virawudh Soontornniyomkij,David J. Moore,Ben Gouaux,Benchawanna Soontornniyomkij,Erick T. Tatro,Anya Umlauf,Eliezer Masliah,Andrew J. Levine,Elyse J. Singer,Harry V. Vinters,Benjamin B. Gelman,Susan Morgello,Mariana Cherner,Igor Grant,Cristian L. Achim +14 more
TL;DR: The detection of APOE &egr;4 genotype and cerebral A&bgr; deposition biomarkers may be useful in identifying living HAND patients who could benefit from A& bgr;-targeted therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV protease inhibitor exposure predicts cerebral small vessel disease.
Virawudh Soontornniyomkij,Anya Umlauf,Sandra A. Chung,Megan L. Cochran,Benchawanna Soontornniyomkij,Ben Gouaux,Will Toperoff,David Moore,Eliezer Masliah,Ronald J. Ellis,Igor Grant,Cristian L. Achim +11 more
TL;DR: Protease inhibitor-based HAART exposure may increase the risk of CSVD and thereby neurocognitive impairment in HIV-infected adults and apart from the possible direct toxicity to cerebral small vessels, protease inhibitors may contribute indirectly to CSVD by inducing metabolic abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities in chemokine levels in schizophrenia and their clinical correlates.
Suzi Hong,Ellen E. Lee,Averria Sirkin Martin,Benchawanna Soontornniyomkij,Virawudh Soontornniyomkij,Cristian L. Achim,Chase Reuter,Michael R. Irwin,Lisa T. Eyler,Lisa T. Eyler,Dilip V. Jeste +10 more
TL;DR: Levels of chemokines with neuroimmune regulatory effects were higher in individuals with schizophrenia, particularly in older and chronic patients, and Treatments aimed at normalizing chemokine levels might improve mental and physical health among schizophrenia patients as they age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term recognition memory correlates with regional CNS expression of microRNA-138 in mice.
Erick T. Tatro,Victoria B. Risbrough,Benchawanna Soontornniyomkij,Jared W. Young,Stephanie Shumaker-Armstrong,Dilip V. Jeste,Cristian L. Achim +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that higher miR-138 expression in the mouse hippocampus is correlated with better memory performance and increased APT1 gene transcription occurs with aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampal calbindin-1 immunoreactivity correlate of recognition memory performance in aged mice
Virawudh Soontornniyomkij,Victoria B. Risbrough,Jared W. Young,Benchawanna Soontornniyomkij,Dilip V. Jeste,Cristian L. Achim +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that hippocampal Calb1 expression affects memory performance in aged mice probably via its role in maintaining neuronal calcium homeostasis, due to aging-related dysregulation of neuronal calcium fluxes.
