Summary Cryostat-sections of biopsies from HIV-infected patients or HIV/SIV-infected experimental animals pose a biohazard risk to laboratory workers. The objective of this study was to select a procedure that appropriately fixes cryo-sections and reduces the risk of HIV-1 infectivity. This inactivation procedure should preserve antigen binding capacity of host-produced antibodies and the antigenic structure of epitopes present in these tissues, while retaining sufficient morphologic detail. We tested the effect of seven different established fixation-inactivation procedures for HIV-1 on the detection of specific antibodies and membrane markers, compared to acetone fixation as a reference. Frozen sections of spleens from mice immunized with trinitrophenyl (TNP)-Ficoll were incubated with TNP-alkaline phosphatase to detect specific antibody-forming cells and follicular immune complexes containing TNP-specific antibodies. In addition, sections were stained with monoclonal antibodies directed against IgM (187-1), T-cells (anti Thy-1), and marginal metallophilic macrophages (MOMA-1). Five procedures proved useful as they gave results similar to regular acetone fixation. In contrast, two procedures with a methanol-containing fixative obscured both antigen binding sites and membrane antigens. Subsequently, these five selected procedures were tested on glass slide preparations of HIV-1 infected cell lines, expressing HIV-1 determinants defined by monoclonal antibodies. Finally, the procedures were tested on sections of an HIV-1 infected human lymph node. for detection of HIV-specific B-cells. We show that fixation-inactivation in 0.37% (v/v) formaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at room temperature and 0.5% paraformaldehyde (w/v) in PBS for 10 min at room temperature are the methods of choice, combining preservation of antigen binding sites (Fab), membrane antigens, and HIV-1 determinants with good tissue morphology.Abbreviations AFC

We have found that chronically HIV-1(IIIB)-infected H9 cells showed 21-fold resistance to 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ARA-C) compared with uninfected H9 cells. In the infected H9 cells, a 37% increase of dCTP pool and a 34% increase of dATP were observed, and no alteration of dTTP and dGTP was observed, compared with the uninfected H9 cells. A marked decrease of ARA-CTP generation was observed in the infected H9 cells after 3-h incubation with 0.1-10 microM ARA-C. The level of deoxycytidine kinase activity with ARA-C as substrate was similar in both the infected and the uninfected cells; however, a 37-fold increase of cytidine deaminase activity was observed in the infected H9 cells. These results indicate that the induction of cytidine deaminase activity by HIV-1(IIIB) infection conferred ARA-C resistance to H9 cells. This conclusion was supported by the observation that a marked reversal of ARA-C resistance in the infected H9 cells occurred after treatment with the inhibitor of cytidine deaminase, 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrouridine. The understanding of these cellular alterations in drug sensitivity may facilitate the development of effective therapeutic strategies against HIV-1-infected cells. 相似文献

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, infects humans and chimpanzees. To determine the efficacy of immunization for preventing infection, chimpanzees were immunized with gp120 purified from human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type IIIB (HTLV-IIIB)-infected cell membranes and challenged with the homologous virus, HTLV-IIIB. A challenge stock of HTLV-IIIB was prepared by using unconcentrated HTLV-IIIB produced in H9 cells. The titer of the virus from this stock on human and chimpanzee peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in human lymphoid cell lines was determined; a cell culture infectivity of 10(4) was assigned. All chimpanzees inoculated intravenously with 40 cell culture infectious units or more became infected, as demonstrated by virus isolation and seroconversion. One of two chimpanzees inoculated with 4 cell culture infectious units became infected. Chimpanzees immunized with gp120 formulated in alum developed antibodies which precipitated gp120 and neutralized HTLV-IIIB. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from gp120-vaccinated and HIV-infected animals showed a significantly greater response in proliferation assays with HIV proteins than did peripheral blood mononuclear cells from nonvaccinated and non-HIV-infected chimpanzees. Two of the gp120-alum-immunized chimpanzees were challenged with virus from the HTLV-IIIB stock. One animal received 400 cell culture infectious units, and one received 40 infectious units. Both animals became infected with HIV, indicating that the immune response elicited by immunization with gp120 formulated in alum was not effective in preventing infection with HIV-1. 相似文献

To investigate whether transferrin receptor (CD71) expression is affected by acute HIV-1 infection, three different lymphoid cell lines (MT-4, SUPT-1, H9) were infected with HIV-1 and tested for surface CD71 expression after different incubation periods depending on cell survival after infection. We found that expression of surface CD71 was lower in cells infected with HIV-1 than in uninfected controls: the timing and extent of this down-modulation depended apparently on the different susceptibility of the cell lines to HIV-1 infection and cytopathogenicity. Citrate, a molecule capable of chelating iron, dose-dependently prevented down-modulation of surface CD71 in HIV-1 infected cells as well as viral cytopathic effects. We conclude that (i) expression of surface transferrin receptors is down-modulated by acute HIV-1 infection in T lymphoid cells, that (ii) this cell phenotypic modulation is associated with the cytopathic effects of the virus, and that (iii) these phenomena are modulated by iron chelation. These results support the view that iron metabolism may be an important area for interaction between HIV-1 and human cells. 相似文献

Enhanced apoptotic action of trichosanthin in HIV-1 infected cells 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Trichosanthin (TCS) is a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) effective against HIV-1 replication. The mechanism is not clear. Present results suggested that the antiviral action may be partly mediated through enhanced apoptosis on infected cells. TCS induced apoptosis in normal H9 cells and this action was more potent in those infected with HIV-1. In flow cytometry study, TCS induced larger population of apoptotic H9 cells chronically infected with HIV-1 in a dose-dependent manner. At TCS concentration of 25 microg/ml, 8.4% of normal H9 cells were found to be apoptotic whereas the same concentration induced 24.5% in HIV-1 chronically infected cells. Such difference was not found in the control experiments without TCS treatment. Two other studies supported this action. Cytotoxic study showed that cell viability was always lower in HIV-1 infected cells after TCS treatment, and DNA fragmentation study confirmed more laddering in infected cells. The mechanism of TCS induced apoptosis in normal or infected H9 cells is not clear. Results in this study demonstrated that TCS is more effective in inducing apoptosis in HIV-1 infected cells. This may explain in part the antiviral action of TCS. 相似文献

The infectivity of retroviruses such as HIV-1 in plasma or cultured media is less than 0.1% in general, the mechanisms of which are not yet fully understood. One possible explanation among others is the potential presence of large numbers of defective virions in a virus pool, which limits the apparent infectivity of HIV virions. To test this hypothesis, we have varied the culture conditions used to generate single-cycle HIV-1 virions. Among these culture variables, virion harvest time, media change after transfection, and envelope plasmid input can all improve HIV-1 infectivity by reducing the number of defective virions. A harvest time of 18–24 hours post transfection as opposed to 48 hours, and a media change six hours post transfection both improve viral infectivity. An optimal quantity of envelope plasmid input during transfection was also found. Collectively, these conditions increased the infectivity of HIV-1 virions by sevenfold compared to normally reported values in TZM-bl indicator cell lines. These conditions also increased the infectivity of HIV-1 in CD4+ T cells, suggesting that these conditions work by increasing the intrinsic infectivity of a virus pool. Nevertheless, these improvements on virion infectivity were marginal compared to the impact of host cells on HIV infection, which can decrease the apparent infectivity by 19-fold even for the most optimized viruses. These results suggest that the infectivity of HIV-1 virions can be optimized by reducing the number of defective virions; however, viral-cell interactions may pose a major barrier for HIV-1 infectivity. 相似文献

We have identified three types of cytoskeletal proteins inside human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virions by analyzing subtilisin-digested particles. HIV-1 virions were digested with protease, and the treated particles were isolated by sucrose density centrifugation. This method removes both exterior viral proteins and proteins associated with microvesicles that contaminate virion preparations. Since the proteins inside the virion are protected from digestion by the viral lipid envelope, they can be isolated and analyzed after treatment. Experiments presented here demonstrated that this procedure removed more than 95% of the protein associated with microvesicles. Proteins in digested HIV-1(MN) particles from infected H9 and CEM(ss) cell lines were analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography, protein sequencing, and immunoblotting. The data revealed that three types of cytoskeletal proteins are present in virions at different concentrations relative to the molar level of Gag: actin (approximately 10 to 15%), ezrin and moesin (approximately 2%), and cofilin (approximately 2 to 10%). Our analysis of proteins within virus particles detected proteolytic fragments of alpha-smooth muscle actin and moesin that were cleaved at sites which might be recognized by HIV-1 protease. These cleavage products are not present in microvesicles from uninfected cells. Therefore, these processed proteins are most probably produced by HIV-1 protease digestion. The presence of these fragments, as well as the incorporation of a few specific cytoskeletal proteins into virions, suggests an active interaction between cytoskeletal and viral proteins. 相似文献

Viral infectivity factor (Vif) is one of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) accessory proteins and is conserved in the primate lentivirus group. This protein is essential for viral replication in vivo and for productive infection of nonpermissive cells, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Vif counteracts an antiretroviral cellular factor in nonpermissive cells named CEM15/APOBEC3G. Although HIV type 1 (HIV-1) Vif protein (Vif1) can be functionally replaced by HIV-2 Vif protein (Vif2), its identity is very small. Most of the functional studies have been carried out with Vif1. Characterization of functional domains of Vif2 may elucidate its function, as well as differences between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infectivity. Our aim was to identify the permissivity of different cell lines for HIV-2 vif-minus viruses. By mutagenesis specific conserved motifs of HIV-2 Vif protein were analyzed, as well as in conserved motifs between Vif1 and Vif2 proteins. Vif2 mutants were examined for their stability, expression, and cellular localization in order to characterize essential domains of Vif2 proteins. Viral replication in various target cells (PBMC and H9, A3.01, U38, and Jurkat cells) and infectivity in single cycle assays in the presence of APOBEC3G were also analyzed. Our results of viral replication show that only PBMC have a nonpermissive phenotype in the absence of Vif2. Moreover, the HIV-1 vif-minus nonpermissive cell line H9 does not show a similar phenotype for vif-negative HIV-2. We also report a limited effect of APOBEC3G in a single-cycle infectivity assay, where only conserved domains between HIV-1 and HIV-2 Vif proteins influence viral infectivity. Taken together, these results allow us to speculate that viral inhibition by APOBEC3G is not the sole and most important determinant of antiviral activity against HIV-2. 相似文献

Growth kinetics in lymphocytic H9 and M8166 cells of two mutants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with deleted gp41 cytoplasmic tails were examined. While the mutant viruses designated CTdel-44 and CTdel-144 were able to grow in M8166 cells, they were unable to grow in H9 cells. Transfection and single-round infectivity assays demonstrated that they are defective in the early phase of viral replication in H9 cells. Analysis of the mutant virions revealed drastically reduced incorporation of Env gp120 (compared with the incorporation of wild-type virions) in H9 cells but normal incorporation in M8166 cells. These results indicate that the HIV-1 cytoplasmic tail of gp41 determines virus infectivity in a cell-dependent manner by affecting incorporation of Env into virions and suggest the involvement of a host cell factor(s) in the Env incorporation. 相似文献

Following immunization with HIV-1 infected cells, a hybridoma cell line termed 9F11 was established from the P3U-1 myeloma line fused with lymphocytes from a trans-chromosome (TC) mouse, that harbors human chromosomes containing immunoglobulin genes. The 9F11 human IgM monoclonal antibody (9F11 Ab) reacts with HIV-1 infected MOLT4 cells but not with uninfected MOLT4 cells, and causes immune cytolysis with homologous human complement at a concentration as low as 0.4 microg/ml. This Ab was used to perform immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library derived from HIV-1 infected cells. All positive cDNA clones contained SWAP-70 cDNA. SWAP-70 RNA and protein expression are much stronger in HIV-1 infected cells. SWAP-70 was also detected on the surface of HIV-1 infected cells by flow cytometric analysis. The monocyte cell line U937 cells expresses SWAP-70 on its cell surface regardless of whether it was infected with HIV-1. Furthermore, among PBMCs surface expression of SWAP-70 was detected on CD21+, CD56+ and CD14+ cells. Although CD3+ cells scarcely express SWAP-70 on their surface, once activated, they become positive. SWAP-70 may therefore serve as a marker for T cell differentiation as well as for HIV-1 infection. 相似文献

The vif gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) greatly enhances the infectivity of HIV-1 virions that are released from cells classified as nonpermissive (e.g., lymphocytes, macrophages, and H9 leukemic T cells) but is irrelevant in permissive cells (e.g., HeLa or COS cells). Recently, it was reported that vif expression in nonpermissive cells dramatically increases infectivity not only of HIV-1 but also of other enveloped viruses, including murine leukemia viruses (MLVs). This was surprising in part because MLVs and other murine retroviruses lack vif genes yet replicate efficiently in T lymphocytes. To investigate these issues, we first developed improved methods for producing substantial quantities of HIV-1 virions with vif deletions from healthy H9 cells. These virions had approximately the same amounts of major core proteins and envelope glycoproteins as the control wild-type virions but were only approximately 1% as infectious. We then produced H9 cells that contained wild-type or vif deletion HIV-gpt proviruses, which lack a functional env gene. After superinfection with either xenotropic or amphotropic MLVs, these cells released HIV-gpt virions pseudotyped with an MLV envelope plus replication-competent MLV. Interestingly, the pseudotyped HIV-gpt (vif deletion) virions were noninfectious, whereas the MLV virions simultaneously released from the same H9 cells were fully infectious. These results strongly suggest that the Vif protein functions in a manner that is both cell specific and at least substantially specific for HIV-1 and related lentiviruses. In addition, these results confirm that vif deletion HIV-1 virions from nonpermissive cells are blocked at a postpenetration stage of the infection pathway. 相似文献

Haemophilus ducreyi causes the sexually transmitted disease chancroid, which facilitates HIV-1 transmission. Skin biopsies were obtained from subjects experimentally infected with H. ducreyi to study the evolution of the immune response and immunophenotypes relevant to transmission of HIV-1. Compared with peripheral blood, there was an enrichment of T cells and macrophages after 48 h of infection in the skin. Neutrophils became the predominant cell type by 7-9 days. By immunohistochemistry, macrophage-inflammatory protein-1alpha was not present early in infection, but was abundant at later stages. RANTES was present throughout the papular and pustular stages of experimental infection, but not present in uninfected control skin. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 was present at low levels in all samples examined. Macrophages in lesions had significantly increased expression of CCR5 and CXCR4 compared with peripheral blood cells, and CD4 T cells had significant up-regulation of CCR5. The magnitude of increased expression of these receptors was not replicated when PBMCs were incubated with H. ducreyi or H. ducreyi lipooligosaccharide in vitro. Together with the disruption of mucosal and skin barriers, the presence of cells with up-regulated HIV-1 coreceptors in H. ducreyi-infected lesions may provide an environment that facilitates the acquisition of R5 (CCR5), X4 (CXCR4), and dual-tropic HIV-1 strains. 相似文献

Altered T cell surface glycosylation in HIV-1 infection results in increased susceptibility to galectin-1-induced cell death 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The massive T cell death that occurs in HIV type 1 (HIV-1) infection contributes profoundly to the pathophysiology associated with AIDS. The mechanisms controlling cell death of both infected and uninfected T cells ("bystander" death) are not completely understood. We have shown that HIV-1 infection of T cells results in altered glycosylation of cell surface glycoproteins; specifically, it decreased sialylation and increased expression of core 2 O-glycans. Galectin-1 is an endogenous human lectin that recognizes these types of glycosylation changes and induces cell death of activated lymphocytes. Therefore we studied the possible contribution of galectin-1 in the pathophysiology of AIDS. O-glycan modifications were investigated on peripheral lymphocytes from AIDS patients. Oligosaccharides from CD43 and CD45 of CEM cells latently infected with HIV-1 were chemically analyzed. Consistent with our previous results, we show that HIV-1 infection results in accumulation of exposed lactosamine residues, oligosaccharides recognized by galectin-1 on cell surface glycoproteins. Both latently HIV-1-infected T cell lines and peripheral CD4 and CD8 T cells from AIDS patients exhibited exposed lactosamine residues and demonstrated marked susceptibility to galectin-1-induced cell death, in contrast to control cultures or cells from uninfected donors. The fraction of cells that died in response to galectin-1 exceeded the fraction of infected cells, indicating that death of uninfected cells occurred. Altered cell surface glycosylation of T cells during HIV-1 infection increases the susceptibility to galectin-1-induced cell death, and this death pathway can contribute to loss of both infected and uninfected T cells in AIDS. 相似文献

An IgG human monoclonal antibody that reacts with HIV-1/GP120, inhibits virus binding to cells, and neutralizes infection. 总被引:54,自引:0,他引:54

A human mAb (HmAb) termed F105 was obtained by fusion of antibody-producing EBV-transformed cells with the HMMA2.11TG/O cell line. F105 is an IgG1 kappa antibody that binds to the surfaces of cells infected with all HIV-1 strains tested: MN, RF, IIIB, and SF2, but not uninfected cells. The HmAb immunoprecipitates GP120 from all four strains. F105 does not react with denatured GP120 on Western blots, but does react with viral lysates and purified GP120 dotted onto nitrocellulose filter paper under nondenaturing conditions. rGP120 from SF2 and soluble rCD4 inhibit antibody binding to infected cells in a dose-dependent manner. F105 inhibits the binding of free, infectious virions to uninfected HT-H9 cells with 50% of maximal (100%) inhibition at approximately 1 microgram/ml. F105 inhibits infection of HT-H9 cells by 100 tissue culture infective dose 50% units of MN and IIIB strains with 50% inhibition at concentrations of HmAb readily achievable in man. It appears that the F105 HmAb reacts with a conformationally defined epitope on HIV-1/GP120 that is exposed on the free virion and is important for binding to the cell surface by the virion. The epitope, which is immunogenic in humans, appears to be within, or topographically near, the CD4-binding site. F105 and the F105 epitope are potentially useful in therapy and in the design of peptide or anti-Id based vaccines; monitoring of the expression of the Id may prove useful in evaluating immune responses in infected individuals or vaccinated volunteers. 相似文献
