Expression and Identification of Immunological Activities of the HIV‐gp120N‐Human Interferon Gamma Fusion Protein

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) envelope glycoprotein gp120 is a vaccine immunogen that has been studied extensively. To enhance the immune response of cells against HIV‐1 gp120, we tested the coexpression of gp120N with interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) as an immune adjuvant. Two recombinant prokaryotic plasmids were constructed: the pET44b‐HIV‐1‐gp120N plasmid construct carried the HIV‐1 gp120N gene (pET44‐gp120N), whereas the pET44b‐HIV‐1‐gp120N‐IFN‐γ plasmid construct carried a fusion gp120N‐IFN‐γ gene (pET44b‐gp120N‐IFN‐γ). Target protein expression was achieved in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells by chemical induction. To test the immunological activity of the proteins, mice were injected with a control, gp120N, or the fusion gp120N‐IFN‐γ protein. The serum and spleen cells of the mice were collected for immunological detection. Results showed that specific T lymphocyte proliferation and the expression of the Th1‐type cytokines (IL‐2 and IFN‐γ) were higher in the gp120N‐IFN‐γ group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). No difference was observed in the expression levels of the Th2‐type cytokines (IL‐4 and IL‐10; P > 0.05). These results suggest that IFN‐γ plays a prominent role as an immune adjuvant when coexpressed with HIV‐1 gp120N. IFN‐γ enhances the specific cell immune response of mice against HIV‐1 gp120.

HIV-1 DNA vaccine efficacy is enhanced by coadministration with plasmid encoding IFN-alpha

Numerous strategies have been employed in an attempt to improve the immunogenicity and efficacy of nucleic acid vaccines. In the present study, the immunogenicity in the induction of humoral and cellular immune responses to HIV-1 DNA vaccine expressing a chimeric gene of gag and gp120 and the adjuvant effect of IFN-alpha on HIV-1 DNA vaccine were studied in a murine model. The DNA vaccine plasmid pVAX1-gag-gp120 and eukaryotic expression plasmid pVAX1-IFN were constructed by inserting the chimeric gene of gag and gp120 of HIV-1 and IFN-alpha into the downstream of CMV promoter of eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1, respectively. In vitro expression detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting showed that the genes of interest could be expressed in transfected HeLa cells. After BALB/c mice were immunized by three intramuscular inoculations of the HIV-1 DNA vaccine plasmids alone or in combination with IFN-alpha expression plasmids, the different levels of anti-HIV-1 humoral and cellular responses were measured comparable to the control groups immunized with pVAX1-IFN, parent plasmid pVAX1 or PBS. The percentage of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ subgroups of spleen T lymphocytes and the specific cytotoxicity activities of splenic CTLs in the coinoculation group were significantly higher than those in the separate inoculation group, and an enhancement of antibody response was also observed in the coinoculation group compared with the separate inoculation group. Take together, coadministration of HIV-1 DNA vaccine plasmids and IFN-alpha expression plasmids can elicit stronger humoral and cellular immune responses in mice than HIV-1 DNA vaccine plasmids alone, and IFN-alpha can be an effective immunological adjuvant in DNA vaccination against HIV-1.     

Induction of CD4+ T cell depletion in mice doubly transgenic for HIV gp120 and human CD4

It has been suggested that loss of uninfected T cells in HIV infection occurs because of lymphocyte activation resulting in cell death by apoptosis. To address the question of whether cross-linking of CD4/HIV gp120 complexes by antibodies were sufficient to induce T cell depletion in vivo, we developed an animal model of continuous interaction between human CD4 (hCD4), gp120 and anti-gp120 antibodies in the absence of other viral factors. Double-transgenic mice have been generated in which T cells express on their membrane hCD4 and secrete HIV gp120. Although these mice have hCD4/gp120 complexes present on the surface of T cells, they do not show gross immunological abnormalities, and they are able to produce anti-gp120 antibodies following immunization with denaturated gp120. However, double-transgenic mice with antibodies to gp120, when immunized with tetanus toxoid, mount an IgG response that is significantly lower than that of double-transgenic mice without antibodies to gp120. Furthermore, the presence of anti-gp120 antibodies leads to CD4⁺ T cell depletion and immunodeficiency in the absence of HIV infection. Thus, the antibody response to gp120 can lead to CD4⁺ T cell attrition in vivo.
