Desc	DR. HAMMOND - DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THERAPEUTIC GENES FOR CHF.THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM, "DISCOVERY & DEVELOPMENT OF THERAPEUTIC GENES FOR CHF" IS TO ENABLE A NUMBER OF SCIENTISTS AT VMRF AND UCSD TO MAINTAIN AN EFFICIENT, INTERACTIVE AND MUTUALLY REINFORCING PROGRAM OF BASIC AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH TO PROMOTE THE DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THERAPEUTIC GENES FOR CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE (CHF) AND OTHER CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES. THE PROGRAM WILL FACILITATE THE TRANSITION FROM DISCOVERY TO CLINICAL APPLICATION OF NEW THERAPEUTIC GENES. THIS MODEL COMBINES DISCOVERY RESEARCH WITH PRACTICAL "STREET-SMART" PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT. SUCCESSFULLY ATTAINING OUR GOALS WILL REQUIRE SEPARATE BUT HIGHLY INTEGRATED PROJECTS THAT CONTAIN THE PROPER PROPORTIONS OF DISCOVERY RESEARCH AND FOCUSED PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT, AN ACCOMPLISHED TRANSLATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY CORE, AND AN INTERACTIVE GROUP OF VMRF AND UCSD PHYSICIAN-SCIENTISTS IN AN IDEAL ENVIRONMENT.

Desc	DR. MORLAND - IN-HOME EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR VETERANS WITH PTSD.EXPOSURE TO COMBAT AND OTHER TRAUMATIC EVENTS RESULTS IN A VARIETY OF NEGATIVE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES, INCLUDING POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD). PTSD IMPACTS VETERANS, VETERANS' FAMILIES, AND SOCIETY MORE GLOBALLY. EFFICACIOUS EXPOSURE THERAPIES, SUCH AS PROLONGED EXPOSURE THERAPY (PE), HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO REDUCE THE SEVERITY OF PTSD SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER, RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THESE INTERVENTIONS ARE UNDERUTILIZED DUE TO ISSUES SUCH AS STIGMA AND TRANSPORTATION DIFFICULTIES. EVEN WHEN TREATMENT IS INITIATED, THE RATES OF PREMATURE DROPOUT ARE HIGH. TELEHEALTH (USING ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE CARE FROM A DISTANCE) AND HOME-BASED CARE OFFER COMPELLING ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL OFFICE-BASED CARE. HOME-BASED CARE, IN PARTICULAR, OFFERS THE ADVANTAGE OF TREATING VETERANS WITHIN THEIR TYPICAL ENVIRONMENT. THIS ALLOWS THERAPISTS TO OBSERVE FACTORS THAT MAY BE CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF EXPOSURE THERAPIES (E.G., HOW BEST TO APPROACH FEARED SITUATIONS IN OR NEAR THE HOME) WHILE HELPING VETERANS GENERALIZE THE SKILLS HE OR SHE HAS LEARNED IN TREATMENT.

GUATELLI - HIV-1 VPU AND BST-2/CD317.THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HIV-1 PROTEIN VPU AND THE CELLULAR PROTEIN BST2 TYPIFIES HOW THE STUDY OF VIRAL ACCESSORY PROTEINS HAS REVEALED UNRECOGNIZED ASPECTS OF THE HOST IMMUNE DEFENSE. BST2 IS A HOST PROTEIN THAT RESTRICTS THE RELEASE OF NEWLY FORMED HIV-1 VIRUS PARTICLES FROM INFECTED CELLS; IT SERVES AS A SENSOR OF VIRUS-INFECTION THROUGH ITS ABILITY TO INDUCE THE CELLULAR TRANSCRIPTIONAL RESPONSE; AND IT MAY WELL FACILITATE ASPECTS OF THE ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSE. BY ELUCIDATING THE MECHANISMS OF BST2'S ACTIVITIES AND THEIR ANTAGONISM BY VPU, AND BY DETERMINING WHETHER THE ACTIVITY OF VPU AS AN ANTAGONIST OF BST2 IS OPTIMIZED DURING HIV TRANSMISSION.WE EXPECT TO SUPPORT OR REJECT THE NOTION THAT ANTAGONISM OF BST2 IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF HIV-1'S ABILITY TO ESCAPE IMMUNE DEFENSES AND ESTABLISH PERSISTENT INFECTION.
