Potent and specific inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication by RNA interference 总被引:55,自引:0,他引:55 下载免费PDF全文
Synthetic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have been shown to induce the degradation of specific mRNA targets in human cells by inducing RNA interference (RNAi). Here, we demonstrate that siRNA duplexes targeted against the essential Tat and Rev regulatory proteins encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can specifically block Tat and Rev expression and function. More importantly, we show that these same siRNAs can effectively inhibit HIV-1 gene expression and replication in cell cultures, including those of human T-cell lines and primary lymphocytes. These observations demonstrate that RNAi can effectively block virus replication in human cells and raise the possibility that RNAi could provide an important innate protective response, particularly against viruses that express double-stranded RNAs as part of their replication cycle. 相似文献

RNA interference (RNAi) is now widely used for gene silencing in mammalian cells. The mechanism uses the RNA-induced silencing complex, in which Dicer, Ago2, and the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) TAR RNA binding protein (TRBP) are the main components. TRBP is a protein that increases HIV-1 expression and replication by inhibition of the interferon-induced protein kinase PKR and by increasing translation of viral mRNA. After HIV infection, TRBP could restrict the viral RNA through its activity in RNAi or could contribute more to the enhancement of viral replication. To determine which function will be predominant in the virological context, we analyzed whether the inhibition of its expression could enhance or decrease HIV replication. We have generated small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against TRBP and found that they decrease HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) basal expression 2-fold, and the LTR Tat transactivated level up to 10-fold. In the context of HIV replication, siRNAs against TRBP decrease the expression of viral genes and inhibit viral production up to fivefold. The moderate increase in PKR expression and activation indicates that it contributes partially to viral gene inhibition. The moderate decrease in micro-RNA (miRNA) biogenesis by TRBP siRNAs suggests that in the context of HIV replication, TRBP functions other than RNAi are predominant. In addition, siRNAs against Dicer decrease viral production twofold and impede miRNA biogenesis. These results suggest that, in the context of HIV replication, TRBP contributes mainly to the enhancement of virus production and that Dicer does not mediate HIV restriction by RNAi. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gene expression and replication is highly dependent on and modulated by interactions between viral and host cellular factors. Tat protein, encoded by one of the HIV-1 regulatory genes, tat, is essential for HIV-1 gene expression. A number of host cellular factors have been shown to interact with Tat in this process. During our attempts to determine the molecular mechanisms of Tat interaction with brain cells, we isolated a cDNA clone that encodes a novel Tat-interacting protein of 110 kDa or Tip110 from a human fetal brain cDNA library. GenBank BLAST search revealed that Tip110 was almost identical to a previously cloned KIAA0156 gene with unknown functions. In vivo binding of Tip110 with Tat was confirmed by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting, in combination with mutagenesis. The yeast three-hybrid RNA-protein interaction assay indicated no direct interaction of Tip110 with Tat transactivating response element RNA. Nevertheless, Tip110 strongly synergized with Tat on Tat-mediated chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene expression and HIV-1 virus production, whereas down-modulation of constitutive Tip110 expression inhibited HIV-1 virus production. Northern blot analysis showed that Tip110 mRNA was expressed in a variety of human tissues and cells. Moreover, digital fluorescence microscopic imaging revealed that Tip110 was expressed exclusively in the nucleus, and within a nuclear speckle structure that has recently been described for human cyclin T and CDK9, two critical components for Tat transactivation function on HIV-1 long terminal repeat promoter. Taken together, these data demonstrate that Tip110 regulates Tat transactivation activity through direct interaction, and suggest that Tip110 is an important cellular factor for HIV-1 gene expression and viral replication. 相似文献

Small virus-derived interfering RNAs (viRNAs) play an important role in antiviral defence in plants, insects and nematodes by triggering the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The role of RNAi as an antiviral defence mechanism in mammalian cells has been obscure due to the lack of viRNA detection. Although viRNAs from different mammalian viruses have recently been identified, their functions and possible impact on viral replication remain unknown. To identify viRNAs derived from HIV-1, we used the extremely sensitive SOLiD(TM) 3 Plus System to analyse viRNA accumulation in HIV-1-infected T lymphocytes. We detected numerous small RNAs that correspond to the HIV-1 RNA genome. The majority of these sequences have a positive polarity (98.1%) and could be derived from miRNAs encoded by structured segments of the HIV-1 RNA genome (vmiRNAs). A small portion of the viRNAs is of negative polarity and most of them are encoded within the 3'-UTR, which may represent viral siRNAs (vsiRNAs). The identified vsiRNAs can potently repress HIV-1 production, whereas suppression of the vsiRNAs by antagomirs stimulate virus production. These results suggest that HIV-1 triggers the production of vsiRNAs and vmiRNAs to modulate cellular and/or viral gene expression. 相似文献

siRNA-directed inhibition of HIV-1 infection 总被引:133,自引:0,他引:133

RNA interference silences gene expression through short interfering 21 23-mer double-strand RNA segments that guide mRNA degradation in a sequence-specific fashion. Here we report that siRNAs inhibit virus production by targeting the mRNAs for either the HIV-1 cellular receptor CD4, the viral structural Gag protein or green fluorescence protein substituted for the Nef regulatory protein. siRNAs effectively inhibit pre- and/or post-integration infection events in the HIV-1 life cycle. Thus, siRNAs may have potential for therapeutic intervention in HIV-1 and other viral infections. 相似文献
