Dopamine stimulates expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 via NF- B in cells of the immune system

Abstract: Recent studies have reported that lymphocytes produce, transport and bind dopamine present in plasma. However, the action of dopamine on HIV-1 gene expression in cells of the immune system has not yet been examined. Here, we have investigated the regulation of HIV-1 expression by dopamine in Jurkat T cells and in primary blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). HIV-1 replication was increased by dopamine, which correlated with the increased levels of HIV-1 transactivation. Our transient expression data revealed that do… Show more

“…DA treatment was found to increase HIV replication in both peripheral blood mononuclear cells and Jurkat T cells transfected with a proviral HIV genome through activation of NF-B sites in the HIV-1 long terminal repeat. 69 Exposure to DA was also shown to enhance HIV replication in chronically infected ACH-2 T lymphoblasts, although this effect was abrogated in the presence of the antioxidant glutathione, suggesting that the enhancement was a product of oxidative stress. 70 Recent studies also demonstrated that treatment of MDMs with cocaine 23 or methamphetamine increased HIV replication and that D1R antagonists were able to abrogate the effects of methamphetamine treatment.…”

“…However, caution is necessary due to reported effects of an enhanced CNS viral replication, induced CNS vacuolization, and encephalitic lesions with increased DA availability (i.e., administration of selegiline, an agent with DA and neuroprotective properties) (Czub et al, 2004). DA stimulated transcription through the NF-B element, specifically in the long terminal repeat, plays an important role in mediating DA responsiveness (Rohr et al, 1999). Thus, the possible implication of these findings for the use of D 1 supplements in the gp120 treatment of HIV-1-infected patients needs to be further investigated.…”

“…Previous studies indicated that stimulation of dopamine receptors results in NF-B activation (Rohr et al, 1999;Lee et al, 2001), but the role of individual dopamine receptors in this activation was not clear. We expressed human D2R (long) in HeLa cells, which lack an endogenous receptor for dopamine.…”

“…Purified D2R couples to the heterotrimeric G proteins G i 1, G i 2, and G i 3, and preferably activates G i 2 (Senogles et al, 1990), whereas in the brain, D2R preferentially couples to G o (Jiang et al, 2001). Several investigators recently reported that dopamine could induce NF-B activation in PC12, Jurkat, and Chinese hamster ovary cells, and contributes to regulation of apoptosis (Luo et al, 1999;Lee et al, 2001;Panet et al, 2001;Weingarten et al, 2001) and expression of HIV-1 genes (Rohr et al, 1999). However, the specific receptors and the underlying signaling mechanisms for this activity have not been characterized.…”
