[Abstract]  While able to suppress HIV replication in HIV infected individuals, combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) fails to eliminate viral latent reservoir, which consists in integrated transcriptional silenced HIV provirus. So far, identification of latently-infected cells has relied on activating cells to induce expression of HIV proteins which can then be detected. Unfortunately, this activation significantly changed the cell phenotype. We developed a novel HIV reporter, named HIVGKO, that allows the purification of latently-infected cells in absence of reactivation. Indeed, latent cells can be identified by expression of the EF1a-driven mKO2 and lack of expression of the LTR-driven csGFP. This protocol can be used to study the effectiveness of LRAs (Latency Reversal Agents) in ... [摘要]  虽然能够抑制HIV感染个体中的HIV复制,但联合抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)无法消除病毒潜伏性储库,其包含整合的转录沉默的HIV原病毒。 到目前为止,潜伏感染细胞的鉴定依赖于激活细胞以诱导HIV蛋白的表达,然后可以检测到这些蛋白的表达。 不幸的是,这种激活显着改变了细胞表型。 我们开发了一种名为HIV GKO 的新型HIV报告基因,可以在没有再激活的情况下纯化潜伏感染的细胞。 实际上,可以通过EF1a驱动的mKO2的表达和LTR驱动的csGFP的缺乏表达来鉴定潜伏细胞。 该方案可用于研究LCA(潜伏期逆转剂)在原代细胞中重新激活潜伏HIV的有效性。

【背景】新版双标记病毒(HIV GKO )含有5'LTR中HIV-1启动子控制下的密码子转换eGFP(csGFP)和一种独特的无关荧光蛋白 mKO2在细胞延伸因子αα启动子(EF1α)的控制下。 当使用与遗传相关的荧光蛋白时,由于重组问题,在这些报道分子中使用不相关的荧光蛋白是很重要的。 因此,生产性感染的细胞主要是csGFP + mKO2 + (有些可能只是GFP + ),而潜伏感染的细胞是csGFP - mKO2 + 。 流式细胞仪如分拣机AriaII允许纯化纯感染人群(生产性,潜伏性和/或未感染),而分析仪LSRII允许评估HIV GKO LTR的转录激活。 感染后的时间很短。

[Abstract]  The main obstacle to eradicating HIV-1 from patients is post-integration latency (Finzi et al., 1999). Antiretroviral treatments target only actively replicating virus, while latent infections that have low or no transcriptional activity remain untreated (Sedaghat et al., 2007). To eliminate viral reservoirs, one strategy focuses on reversing HIV-1 latency via ‘shock and kill’ (Deeks, 2012). The basis of this strategy is to overcome the molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 latency by therapeutically inducing viral gene and protein expression under antiretroviral therapy and to cause selective cell death via the lytic properties of the virus, or the immune system now recognizing the infected cells. Recently, a number of studies have described the therapeutic potential of ... [摘要]  消除HIV-1患者的主要障碍是后整合延迟(Finzi等人,1999)。抗逆转录病毒治疗仅针对主动复制病毒,而具有低转录活性或无转录活性的潜伏感染仍未得到治疗(Sedaghat等人,2007)。为了消除病毒性水库,一项战略重点是通过“休克和杀死”来逆转HIV-1潜伏期(Deeks,2012)。该策略的基础是通过在抗逆转录病毒治疗下通过治疗性诱导病毒基因和蛋白质表达来克服HIV-1潜伏期的分子机制,并通过病毒的溶解性质或现在识别感染细胞的免疫系统引起选择性细胞死亡。最近,许多研究已经描述了药物抑制人类溴结构域蛋白质的溴结构域和末端(BET)家族的成员的治疗潜力(Filippakopoulos等人,2010; Dawson等人& / em>,2011; Delmore等人,2011),其包括BRD2,BRB3,BRD4和BRDT。小分子BET抑制剂,例如JQ1(Filippakopoulos et al。,2010; Delmore等人,2011),I-BET(Nicodeme等人< / ...

[Abstract]  The main obstacle to eradicating HIV-1 from patients is post-integration latency (Finzi et al., 1999). Antiretroviral treatments target only actively replicating virus, while latent infections that have low or no transcriptional activity remain untreated (Sedaghat et al., 2007). A combination of antiretroviral treatments with latency-purging strategies may accelerate the depletion of latent reservoirs and lead to a cure (Geeraert et al., 2008). Current strategies to reactivate HIV-1 from latency include use of prostratin, a non-tumor-promoting phorbol ester (Williams et al., 2004), BET inhibitors (Filippakopoulos et al., 2010; Delmore et al., 2011), and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, such as suberoylanilidehydroxamic acid (i.e. ... [摘要]  消除HIV-1患者的主要障碍是后整合延迟(Finzi等,1999)。抗逆转录病毒治疗仅针对主动复制病毒,而具有低转录活性或无转录活性的潜伏性感染仍未得到治疗(Sedaghat et al。,2007)。抗逆转录病毒治疗与潜伏期清除策略的组合可以加速潜伏性储层的消耗并导致治愈(Geeraert等人,2008)。从潜伏期重新激活HIV-1的当前策略包括使用前列腺素,非促肿瘤佛波酯(Williams等人,2004),BET抑制剂(Filippakopoulos等人, (HDM)抑制剂,例如辛苯甲酰苯胺异羟肟酸(SAHA或Vorinostat))(Kelly ,2010; Delmore等人,2011)和组蛋白脱乙酰酶et al。,2003; Archin等人,2009; Contreras等人,2009; Edelstein等人。 ,2009)。由于HIV-1潜伏期的机制是多样的,有效的再激活可能需要组合策略(Quivy等人,2002)。以下方案描述了基于流式细胞仪的方法,用于量化药物治疗后HIV-1长末端重复(LTR)的转录激活。该协议被优化用于研究含有GFP盒的潜伏的HIV-1感染的Jurkat(J-Lat)细胞系。含有不同报道物的J-Lats,例如萤光素酶,可以用所述的药物进行治疗,但必须进行不同的分析。
