We describe the generation of stable human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-packaging lines that constitutively express high levels of HIV-1 structural proteins in either a Rev-dependent or a Rev-independent fashion. These cell lines were used to assess gene transfer by using an HIV-1 vector expressing the hygromycin B resistance gene and to study the effects of Rev, Tat, and Nef on the vector titer. The Rev-independent cell lines were created by using gag-pol and env expression vectors that contain the Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) constitutive transport element (CTE). Vector titers approaching 10(4) CFU/ml were routinely obtained with these cell lines, as well as with the Rev-dependent cell lines, with HeLa-CD4 cells as targets. The presence of Nef and Tat in the producer cell each increased the vector titer 5- to 10-fold. Rev, on the other hand, was absolutely essential for gene transfer, unless the MPMV CTE was present in the vector. In that case, by using the Rev-independent cell lines for packaging, Rev could be completely eliminated from the system without a reduction in vector titer.  相似文献

HIV-1 proteins, including Tat, gp120, and Nef, activate macrophages (MΦ), which is consistent with the fact that HIV-1 infection is characterized by sustained immune activation. Meanwhile, MΦ are functionally classified into two types: proinflammatory M1-MΦ and anti-inflammatory M2-MΦ. We show that HIV-1 proteins, particularly Nef, preferentially activate M2-MΦ. Extracellular Tat, gp120, and Nef activated MAPK and NF-κB pathways in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived MΦ. However, the activation was marked in M-CSF-derived M2-MΦ but not GM-CSF-derived M1-MΦ. Nef was the most potent activator, and its signaling activation was comparable to that by TNF-α. Indeed, Nef was internalized more rapidly by M2-MΦ than by M1-MΦ. The myristoylation and proline-rich motif of Nef were responsible for the observed signaling activation. Consistent with the activation of MAPK/NF-κB pathways, Nef stimulated the production of a number of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines by M2-MΦ. However, Nef reduced the expression of CD163 and phagocytosis, the characteristic markers of M2-MΦ, indicating that Nef drives an M2-like to M1-like phenotypic shift. Because the differentiation of most tissue MΦ depends on M-CSF and its receptor, which is the essential axis for the anti-inflammatory M2-MΦ phenotype, the current study reveals an efficient mechanism by which HIV-1 proteins, such as Nef, induce the proinflammatory MΦ.  相似文献
