In this study we investigated differences in the gene expression profiling of the brains of rhesus macaques that were uninfected or infected with SIV in the asymptomatic stage or AIDS. The main aim was to use biostatistical methods to classify brain gene expression following SIV infection, without consideration of the biological significance of the individual genes. We also used data from animals treated with different pharmacological substances such as dopaminergic drugs, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists or antioxidants during the early stage of infection as these animals exhibited an accelerated or attenuated neuropsychiatric disease progression. We found macaque subspecies to be a more important factor for disease classification based on gene expression profiling than clinical symptoms or neuropathological findings. It is noteworthy that SIV-infected pharmacologically-treated. Chinese animals clustered near uninfected animals independent on the outcome of the treatment, whereas untreated SIV infected animals were clustered in a separate subtree. It is clear from this study that NeuroAIDS is a diverse disease entity and that SIV brain genes can be differentially regulated, depending on the disease type as well as changed dependent on the monkey subspecies.
