چکیده انگلیسی
Acute infection of human CD4+ cells with cytopathic strains of HIV-1 causes rapid cell death. The role played by HIV-1 protease (PR) in virus-induced cell killing was investigated by subjecting C8166 cells to a single round of infection. The presence of HIV-1 PR inhibitor saquinavir from 24Â h post-infection prevented virus-induced cell lysis. This inhibitor caused only a small reduction in the number of infected cells and in the expression of HIV-1-specific proteins. Moreover, treatments that block HIV-1 reinfection, such as AZT or the anti-CD4 antibody leu3.a, exerted little effect on virus-induced cell death. Thus, the specific inhibition of HIV-1 protease reduced the extent of both necrosis and apoptosis in C8166 cells such that most cells survived HIV-1 infection. Continued treatment of the infected cells with saquinavir led to the progressive suppression of HIV-1 expression; no viral proteins being detected 10 days after primary infection. Notably, reactivation of HIV-1 protease in these cells by removing the saquinavir triggered virus replication and cell lysis. These findings may contribute towards a better understanding of HIV-1 pathogenesis, and emphasise the potential of the virus protease as a key therapeutic target in AIDS treatment.
