Construction and identification of recombinant lentiviral vector containing HIV-1 Tat gene and its expression in 293T cells

Objective

To construct a lentiviral vector expressing HIV-1 Tat and identify its expression in 293T cells.

Methods

The gene fragment of HIV-1 Tat₁₀₁ was subcloned to lentiviral transfer vector pHAGE-CMV-MCS-IZsGreen, which was named pHAGE-Tat. Then the constructed pHAGE-Tat was used to co-transfect the packing 293T cells, together with the packaging plasmids pMD2.G and psPAX2. The packaged viral particles designated LV-Tat were used to infect the 293T cells and the viral titer was calculated. The expression of HIV-1 Tat in 293T cells was confirmed using RT-PCR and western blot.

Results

The recombinant lentiviral vector was successfully constructed and could express HIV-1 Tat in 293T cells. The virus titer was 5.73×10⁶ ifu/ml.

Conclusion

The successfully constructed recombinant lentiviral vector makes a strong foundation for further exploring the possible role of HIV-1 Tat in the development of prostate cancer.

Murine retroviral vector that induces long-term expression of HIV-1 envelope protein

A retroviral vector was constructed that induces long-term expression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) rev, vpu and env genes. The vector contains the neo gene and a cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter followed by HIV-1 sequence. When HeLa cells were infected with viral stocks derived from this vector, about 25% of the resulting G418-resistant clones expressed HIV-1 envelope protein (Env), easily detectable by Western blot analysis, metabolic labelling, and syncytium formation after co-cultivation with HeLa-CD4 cells. In most cases the level of Env expression was higher than in a T cell line (H9) chronically infected with HIV-1. Env-expressing HeLa cell lines also expressed Rev, detected by transfection with a Rev-dependent CAT gene construct, and Vpu, detected by immunoprecipitation with a Vpu-specific antiserum. The 75% of G418-resistant HeLa cell lines that did not express Env were found to contain proviruses that had undergone deletion of env sequences corresponding to a known intron; presumably these cell lines arose as a result of infection with virions derived from spliced RNAs. This vector should be useful for studying non-transient effects of HIV Env, Rev and Vpu in tissue culture, and for the production of Env- and/or Rev-expressing cell lines.     

Immunogenicity of the recombinant adenovirus type 5 vector with type 35 fiber containing HIV-1 gag gene

The immune efficiency of a recombinant adenovirus type 5 with type 35 fiber containing HIV-1 gag gene (rAd5/F35-mod.gag) was investigated in BALB/c mice, in which the rAd5/F35-mod.gag was firstly identified with PCR, then transfected to 293 cells and the in vitro expression level of Gag protein was determined by Western blotting and indirect immuno-fluorescent assay. Mice were immunized with intramuscular injections of rAd5/F35-mod.gag, rAd5-mod.gag or DNA and were boosted after 3 weeks. To test the effect of pre-existing anti-viral immunity on immunization, mice were also injected with Ad5-GFP vector and then immunized 4 and 7 weeks later with Ad5/F35-mod. gag vector. The P24-specific IgG antibody in sera of immunized mice was determined by ELISA and the specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response was assayed by intracellular cytokine staining. It was demonstrated that the rAd5/F35-mod. gag vector could express efficiently the HIV Gag protein in 293 cells in vitro and induce strong HIV-specific immune responses in vivo. The strongest CTL and serum IgG response occurred when mice were immunized twice with injection of rAd5/F35 alone, but the anti-Ad5 antibody after primary infection with adenovirus could inhibit the specific immune responses induced by rAd5/F35 vector. It is concluded that single immunization with recombinant adenovirus rAd5/F35-mod. gag can induce specific CTL and serum IgG antibody responses in mice, but the immunogenicity of rAd5/F35 is comparably weaker than that of rAd5.     

HIV-1 Tat induces biochemical changes in the serum of mice

The HIV-1 Tat protein is released by infected cells and has numerous biological activities which might contribute either to the impairment of the immune response or to viral dissemination and pathogenesis. To date, the effects of Tat protein on metabolites remain unclear. In this study, a metabolomic study on serum of HIV-1 Tat-induced ICR mice was performed to research the pathologic mechanism of Tat protein by using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Clear separations among the HIV-1 Tat-induced mice and the inaTat-induced or control mice were observed by principal component analysis and partial least-squares discriminant analysis based on the GC/MS spectral data. Additionally, 16 significantly changed metabolites in HIV-1 Tat-induced mice were identified that are involved in multiple perturbed metabolic pathways, which contributed to the elucidation of the complex pathogenic mechanism of Tat protein and may shed new lights on future improvement of HIV-1 therapy.
