چکیده انگلیسی
Our laboratories previously demonstrated that expression of a single chain variable antibody fragment (SFv), anti-CXCR4 SFv, in human lymphoid cells suppresses surface display of the chemokine co-receptor CXCR4 and inhibits infectious entry of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1). We now sought to extend these results to two types of central nervous system (CNS) cells, primary isolated human brain microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs), and post-mitotic differentiated human neurons, both of which normally express significant levels of CXCR4. The anti-CXCR4 SFv expression construct was delivered using an HIV-1-based vector, and control cells received LacZ-expressing viral particles. Upon intracellular expression of the anti-CXCR4 SFv, immunostaining revealed a marked reduction in surface display of CXCR4 on both cell types. Consequently, post-mitotic neurons expressing the anti-CXCR4 SFv were significantly protected from HIV-1 infection, as measured by HIV-1 p24 antigen production, and partial protection was observed in human brain MVECs. The ability to selectively down-modulate the surface expression of CXCR4 in CNS cells may allow for the development of clinical molecular therapy strategies against HIV-1-related neurodegenerative disorders and neuroinvasion.
