摘要
The H9 and CEM CD4+ T cell lines were infected with HIV-1 (NY5/LAV-1 isolate) and monitored for losses in cell viability, syncytium formation, and internucleosomal DNA cleavage (a marker for apoptosis). H9 cells were found to undergo cell death via apoptosis as a result of HIV(NY5) infection, but this effect was not apparent in CEM cell cultures. The differential effects of HIV-1 NY5 in terms of its apoptosis-inducing properties correlated with the relative abilities of H9 and CEM cells in supporting replication of this HIV-1 isolate, since infected CEM cell cultures produced 10-fold lower levels of HIV-1 p24 protein, and very few of these cells stained positive for cell-associated p24 by comparison with H9 cell cultures infected at the same multiplicity of infection. Furthermore, a different HIV-1 isolate (RF), which replicated equally efficiently in both H9 and CEM cells, produced similar levels of apoptosis in these cultures. HIV-1 NY5 was also found to be capable of inducing apoptosis in purified peripheral blood CD4+ T cells as well as inhibiting anti-CD3-driven proliferation of these cells. In contrast, incubation of purified CD8+ T cells with HIV-1 NY5 under similar conditions produced no cytopathic effects. Substantial levels of apoptosis were also recorded in HIV-1 NY5-infected PHA blasts cell cultures. Soluble rHIV-1IIIB type CHO-derived gp120 was found to mimic the effects of HIV in terms of inhibition of anti-CD3/TCR mAb-induced proliferation of T cells, but apoptosis was not detected in gp120-treated T cell cultures whether cross-linked or used in conjunction with anti-CD3 mAb or not. We conclude therefore that both HIV-1 NY5 and HIV-1RF isolates have the capacity to directly trigger apoptotic cell death in CD4+ T cells and that this appears to be at least partly associated with the efficiency of virus replication in these cells. 330.
