HIV-1 Nef is the regulatory protein expressed earliest and most abundantly in the infection cycle. Its expression has been correlated with a plethora of effects detectable either in producer, target, and bystander cells, as well as in the viral particles. Even if the relationship between Nef expression and apoptosis has been already matter of investigation in infected lymphocytes, whose resistance to HIV infection is however limited to few days, this remains to be investigated in cells that in vivo well resist the HIV cytopathic effect. In such an instance, we were interested in establishing whether Nef influences the apoptotic processes in primary human-monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). High efficiency HIV-1 infection of MDM allowed us to establish that virus-expressed Nef strongly counteracts the HIV-1-induced apoptosis. The Nef mutant analysis suggested that this effect relies on the interaction with different protein partners and cell compartments. We also observed that the Nef protection to the HIV-1-induced apoptosis correlated with the hyper-phosphorylation and consequent inactivation of the pro-apoptotic Bad protein. On the basis of these results, we propose the Nef anti-apoptotic effect as a relevant part of the mechanism of the in vivo establishment of the HIV macrophage reservoirs. 相似文献

艾滋病已在世界范围内给人类健康和社会发展带来了严重影响.抑制HIV-1与细胞膜融合的多肽抑制剂由于其分子量小、结构简单、生物毒性低和作用效果明显等优点而受到研究者的重视.针对HIV-1与细胞的融合过程中涉及gp160的分裂、gp120与CD4受体及辅助受体的结合、gp41自身的折叠及与细胞膜的并列与融合等步骤,可以设计一些新的多肽药物靶点,以达到阻止HIV-1侵入的目的.目前针对上述三步骤已分别设计出了相应的多肽抑制剂,如M3、HRPs、CD4M、S肽、DAPTA及C22等,这些多肽抑制剂在体外实验、动物实验或临床实验中均表现出较好的抑制HIV-1与细胞融合的能力,具有十分巨大的潜在应用前景. 相似文献

Lentiviral vectors have drawn considerable attention recently and show great promise to become important delivery vehicles
for future gene transfer manipulation. In the present study we have optimized a protocol for preparation of human immunodeficiency
virus type-1 (HIV-1)-based defective lentiviral vectors (DLV) and characterized these vectors in terms of their transduction
of different cells. Transient co-transfection of 293T packaging cells with DNA plasmids encoding lentiviral vector constituents
resulted in production of high-titer DLV (0.5–1.2 × 107IU/mL), which can be further concentrated over 100-fold through a single step ultracentrifugation. These vectors were capable
of transducing a variety of cells from both primate and non-primate sources and high transduction efficiency was achieved
using concentrated vectors. Assessment of potential generation of RCV revealed no detection of infection by infectious particles
in DLV-transduced CEM, SupT-1 and MT-2 cells. Long-term culture of transduced cells showed a stable expression of transgenes
without apparent alteration in cellular morphology and growth kinetics. Vector mobilization to untransduced cells mediated
by wild-type HIV-1 infection was confirmed in this test. Challenge of transduced human T-lymphocytes with wild-type HIV-1
showed these cells are totally resistant to the viral infection. Considering the effective gene transfer and stable gene expression,
safety and anti-HIV activity, these DLV vectors warrant further exploration for their potential use as a gene transfer vehicle
in the development of gene therapy protocols.

HIV—1基质蛋(matrix protein,MA)在HIV-1生命周期中的侵入融合、核运输及组装等环节中起着十分重要的调节作用。其结构中的N末端的核定位信号N(nuclear localization signal,NLS)是介导整合前复合体(preintegration complex,PIC)的核运输所必需的。MA在HIV—1复制中所起的关键作用以及核定位信号区的高度保守性,使它成为寻找新的作用机制和不易产生耐药性的抗艾滋病药物的新靶点。目前已报道了多种靶向MA核定位信号区的抑制剂。该文介绍HIV-1MA的结构、主要功能及靶向该蛋白质的抑制剂研究。 相似文献

Background: HIV-1 and HIV-2 are two related viruses with distinct clinical outcomes, where HIV-1 is more pathogenic and transmissible than HIV-2. The pathogenesis of both infections is influenced by the dysregulation and deterioration of the adaptive immune system. However, their effects on the responsiveness of innate immunity are less well known. Here, we report on toll-like receptor (TLR) stimuli responsiveness in HIV-1 or HIV-2 infections. Methods: Whole blood from 235 individuals living in Guinea-Bissau who were uninfected, infected with HIV-1, infected with HIV-2, and/or infected with HTLV-I, was stimulated with TLR7/8 and TLR9 agonists, R-848 and unmethylated CpG DNA. After TLR7/8 and TLR9 stimuli, the expression levels of IL-12 and IFN-α were related to gender, age, infection status, CD4+ T cell counts, and plasma viral load. Results: Defective TLR9 responsiveness was observed in the advanced disease stage, along with CD4+ T cell loss in both HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections. Moreover, TLR7/8 responsiveness was reduced in HIV-1 infected individuals compared with uninfected controls. Conclusions: Innate immunity responsiveness can be monitored by whole blood stimulation. Both advanced HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections may cause innate immunity dysregulation. 相似文献

Amyloid fibrils play important roles in HIV-1 infection. We found peptides derived from the HIV-1 gp120 co-receptor binding region, which are defined as enhancing peptides (EPs), could form amyloid fibrils and remarkably enhance HIV-1 infection. EPs bound to the virus and promoted the interaction between HIV-1 and target cells. The antiviral efficacy of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) was substantially impaired in the presence of EPs. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) could both inhibit the formation of fibrils composed of EPs and counteract the EP-mediated enhancement of HIV-1 infection. Our findings identify viral derived amyloid fibrils that hold potential for biochemical applications.Structured summary of protein interactionsEP1 and EP1 bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)EP2 and EP2 bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)EP3 and EP3 bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)SEVI and SEVI bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)EP1 and EP1 bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)EP2 and EP2 bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)EP3 and EP3 bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)SEVI and SEVI bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction) 相似文献

HIV encephalitis is the common pathologic correlate of HIV-dementia (HAD). HIV-infected brain mononuclear phagocytes (MP) (macrophages and microglia) are reservoirs for persistent viral infection. When activated, MP contribute to neuronal damage. Such activated and virus-infected macrophages secrete cellular and viral factors, triggering neural destructive immune responses. Our Center's laboratories have begun to decipher the molecular and biochemical pathways for MP-mediated neuronal damage in HAD. This review will discuss the salient clinical and pathological features of HAD and highlight the recent advances made, by our scientists and elsewhere, in unraveling disease mechanisms, including the role of chemokines and their receptors in the neuropathogenesis of HIV-1 encephalitis. 相似文献

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique T cell population that have important immunoregulatory functions and have been shown to be involved in host immunity against a range of microorganisms. It also emerges that they might play a role in HIV-1 infection, and therefore be selectively depleted during the early stages of infection. Recent studies are reviewed regarding the dynamics of NKT depletion during HIV-1 infection and their recovery under highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART). Possible mechanisms for these changes are proposed based on the recent developments in HIV pathogenesis. Further discussions are focused on HIV's disruption of NKT activation by downregulating CDld expression on antigen presentation cells (APC). HIV-1 protein Nefis found to play the major role by interrupting the intracellular trafficking of nascent and recycling CDld molecules. 相似文献

Since identification of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), numerous studies suggest a link between neurological impairments,
in particular dementia, with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with alarming occurrence worldwide. Approximately,
60% of HIV-infected people show some form of neurological impairment, and neuropathological changes are found in 90% of autopsied
cases. Approximately 30% of untreated HIV-infected persons may develop dementia. The mechanisms behind these pathological
changes are still not understood. Mounting data obtained byin vivo andin vitro experiments suggest that neuronal apoptosis is a major feature of HIV associated dementia (HAD), which can occur in the absence
of direct infection of neurons. The major pathway of neuronal apoptosis occurs indirectly through release of neurotoxins by
activated cells in the central nervous system (CNS) involving the induction of excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. In addition
a direct mechanism induced by viral proteins in the pathogenesis of HAD may also play a role. This review focuses on the molecular
mechanisms of HIV-associated dementia and possible therapeutic strategies. 相似文献
