[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 bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assay can be used as an indicator of molecular approximation and/or interaction. A significant resonance energy transfer signal is generated when the acceptor, having the appropriate spectral overlap with the donor emission, is approximated with the donor. In the example provided, proteins tagged with bioluminescent Renilla luciferase (Rlu) as donor and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) as acceptor were co-expressed in cells. This pair of donor and acceptor have an approximate Förster distance of 4.4 nm, providing the optimal working distance (Dacres et al., 2010). This technique can be used to explore the time-course of specific molecular interactions that occur in living cells. [摘要]  生物发光共振能量转移(BRET)测定可以用作分子近似和/或相互作用的指标。 当具有与供体发射的适当光谱重叠的受体与供体近似时,产生显着的共振能量转移信号。 在所提供的例子中,用生物发光的海肾荧光素酶(Rlu)作为供体和作为受体的黄色荧光蛋白(YFP)标记的蛋白在细胞中共表达。 这对供体和受体具有4.4nm的近似Forster距离,提供了最佳的工作距离(Dacres et。,2010)。 这种技术可以用来探索在活细胞中发生的特定分子相互作用的时间过程。
【背景】使用生物发光供体和荧光受体的生物发光共振能量转移(BRET)研究可以监测在活细胞中实时发生的分子相互作用(例如标记的蛋白质,肽或小分子之间)。这种方法取决于供体和受体之间的空间近似,以及适当的光谱重叠以产生有意义的信号(图1)。目前提供的实例使用Rlu-标记的蛋白质作为供体和YFP-标记的蛋白质作为受体(Harikumar等人,2007)。这已被非常成功地应用于建立活细胞质膜中生理相关的蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用的存在。然而,重要的是包括可能导致非特异性蛋白质 - 蛋白质近似和能量转移(旁观者效应)的表达水平的对照,例如使用相似水平的已知非相关蛋白质的表达。此外,与未标记蛋白质的竞争可以帮助建立信号的相互作用的可饱和性和特异性。

Flow Cytometric Analysis of HIV-1 Transcriptional Activity in Response to shRNA Knockdown in A2 and A72 J-Lat Cell Lines

[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< / ...
