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., SAHA or Vorinostat) (Kelly et al., 2003; Archin et al., 2009; Contreras et al., 2009; Edelstein et al., 2009). As the mechanisms of HIV-1 latency are diverse, effective reactivation may require combinatorial strategies (Quivy et al., 2002). The following protocol describes a flow cytometry-based method to quantify transcriptional activation of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) upon drug treatment. This protocol is optimized for studying latently HIV-1-infected Jurkat (J-Lat) cell lines that contain a GFP cassette. J-Lats that contain a different reporter, for example Luciferase, can be treated with drugs as described but have to be analyzed differently.
Keywords: Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (人体免疫缺陷病毒-1)Background
Studies that assess transcriptional activation or repression of the HIV-1 LTR generally use CD4+ T cells containing latent full-length HIV-1, such as NL4-3/E-/GFP-IRES–nef (Kutsch et al., 2002) or R7/E-/GFP (Jordan et al., 2003), which contains a frameshift mutation in the viral Env gene to prevent viral spread and expresses GFP in the Nef open reading frame allowing separation of actively infected GFP+ from GFP− cells (uninfected or latently infected) by cell sorting (Jordan et al., 2003). To specifically investigate transcriptional activation of the HIV-1 LTR, we utilize the J-Lat cell line A72 containing only a latent LTR-GFP construct (Jordan et al., 2003). To determine if drug treatment specifically activates Tat, we utilize a J-Lat cell line harboring a latent lentiviral construct expressing Tat with GFP from the HIV-1 LTR (clone A2; LTR-Tat-IRES-GFP) (Jordan et al., 2003).
