Pulsed Stable Isotope Labeling of Amino Acids in Cell Culture Uncovers the Dynamic Interactions between HIV-1 and the Monocyte-Derived Macrophage

Abstract

Dynamic interactions between human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and the macrophage govern the tempo of viral dissemination and replication in its human host. HIV-1 affects macrophage phenotype, and the macrophage, in turn, can modulate the viral life cycle. While these processes are linked to host–cell function and survival, the precise intracellular pathways involved are incompletely understood. To elucidate such dynamic virus–cell events, we employed pulsed stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture. Alterations in de novo protein synthesis of HIV-1 infected human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were examined after 3, 5, and 7 days of viral infection. Synthesis rates of cellular metabolic, regulatory, and DNA packaging activities were decreased, whereas, those affecting antigen presentation (major histocompatibility complex I and II) and interferon-induced antiviral activities were increased. Interestingly, enrichment of proteins linked to chromatin assembly or disassembly, DNA packaging, and nucleosome assembly were identified that paralleled virus-induced cytopathology and replication. We conclude that HIV-1 regulates a range of host MDM proteins that affect its survival and abilities to contain infection.

Plasma gelsolin accumulates in macrophage nodules in brains of simian immunodeficiency virus infected rhesus macaques

“…As pGSN production increases, we observe a slight decrease of cGSN expression as shown in Fig. 1a, and this was previously reported by our laboratory (Kraft-Terry et al 2011). This is an expected effect, since the same gene expresses both isoforms and more of the GSN transcript is unprocessed to produce pGSN; at the same time, less is available to be processed for expression of cGSN.…”

“…Cells were washed and subsequently infected with CCR5 (R5)-using virus HIV-1 BaL (Advanced Biotechnologies, Columbia, MD) at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.05 for 2 h washed 3 times with Hank's balanced salt solution (Invitrogen) before being returned to culture for 5 and 10 days (Gaskill et al 2009; Balkundi et al 2010; Ciborowski et al 2007; Kraft-Terry et al 2011). The culture supernatants were assayed for p24 antigen using a p24 ELISA kit (ZeptoMetrix Corporation, Buffalo, NY) on day 5 and 10.…”
