occasionally ineffective, even when acute blockade reverses morphine effects. This may be due to blocking the cellular effects of the multiple opioids normally released by glia HIV and Morphine-Mediated Interactive Effects on Neurons . The presence of glia significantly enhanced HIV+sup 6 morphine-mediated neuron death over the entire 72 h experimental period. In the subpopulation of neurons that survived, HIV+sup induced significant neurite pruning or growth arrest. The presence of glia did not significantly affect HIV+sup-induced neurite pruning, even when neurons were co-exposed to morphine. In fact, in the 6 HIV and Morphine-Mediated Interactive Effects on Neurons presence of glia, Controlsup-treated groups had significantly longer neurites. HIV- and morphine-mediated effects on secretion of growth factors and cytokines by glia Our results show that glial effects on neuron injury and recovery are dependent on the context of HIV and morphine. Glia enhanced HIV-driven neuronal death, but accelerated neurite recovery after removal of HIV. To determine how glia might direct these outcomes, we examined whether HIV and morphine affect glial production of secreted factors known to influence neuronal survival and outgrowth. ELISA was used to assay levels of the neurotrophic factors, as well as cytokines that indicate glial inflammatory activation; they showed multiple response patterns. BDNF levels were significantly MedChemExpress Odanacatib reduced by HIV+sup 6 morphine treatments. BDNF recovered to control levels after removal of HIV+sup, even though morphine remained present. GDNF levels were unaffected by any treatment. IL-6 levels were increased by HIV+sup or morphine treatment alone, 
and in addition, morphine significantly augmented the effect of HIV+sup. Although IL-6 levels returned to control after removal of HIV+sup, the elevated levels were maintained in the continued presence of morphine. TNFa release was significantly increased by HIV+sup alone, but not by morphine alone, although morphine cotreatment augmented the effect of HIV+sup. TNFa levels returned to control after removal of HIV+sup, even 16177223 in the continuous presence of morphine. Thus, among the 14642775 secreted factors whose levels were influenced by HIV and morphine, BDNF, TNFa and IL-6 responded to HIV+sup alone, while only IL-6 was affected by morphine itself. Both TNFa and IL-6 showed HIV-morphine interactive effects. Only IL-6 continued to respond to morphine exposure after HIV removal. Reversibility of HIV 6 morphine-mediated neurite damage Neurons appear to recover from certain types of sublethal damage caused by HIV-related insults. Therefore, the reversibility of HIV- and morphine-mediated neurite damage was tested. HIV+sup 6 morphine treatments caused significant neurite growth arrest over the period of 24 h in cultures without glia. With continuous exposure to HIV+sup 6 morphine for 72 h, neurite length remained significantly reduced. When HIV+sup was removed at 24 h, neurites resumed their growth. Interestingly, sustained exposure to morphine by itself was sufficient to reduce and/or delay neurite recovery/outgrowth despite the removal of HIV+sup. This effect of morphine was blocked by naloxone. Since glia support neurite outgrowth and synapse remodeling through multiple mechanisms we tested whether glia play a role in the reversibility of HIV- and morphine-mediated neurite pruning/growth arrest. As in the neuron-only cultures, HIV+sup 6 morphine treatments caused significant neurite growth a
