Synthesis of human immunodeficiency virus DNA in a cell-to-cell transmission model
Abstract
Cell-to-cell transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was modelled by coculturing virus-infected cells with uninfected target cells at a ratio of 1:4. While H9 cells persistently infected with HTLV-IIIB did not contain unintegrated viral DNA detectable by Southern blotting, when cocultured with uninfected HUT-78 cells the mixed culture effectively underwent a new round one-step virus replication which began de novo synthesis of free viral DNA within 4 hours. Linear DNA was synthesized before the accumulation of circular DNA, and two seemingly distinct phases of viral DNA synthesis were involved. When both virus donor cells and recipient cells were arrested in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, accumulation of circular viral DNA was inhibited. In contrast to cell-free virus infection of resting human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), where no free viral DNA of discrete sizes could be detected by Southern blot, cell-to-cell transmission infection of resting PBMC resulted in the synthesis of full-length linear as well as circular viral DNA. The efficiency with which cell-to-cell transmission of HIV initiates virus replication underlines the importance of this mode of transmission in virus dissemination in vivo.
