目的研究HIV-1感染者不同时期分离的R5毒株的生物学特性。方法采用传统的共培养方法分离并培养HIV-1,用表达CD4和CC趋化因子受体5(CCR5)或CXC趋化因子受体4(CXCR4)的GHOST细胞系,通过流式细胞仪测定病毒辅助受体的利用和感染性,从而判断所分离毒株的CCR5嗜型(R5型毒株);使用2ng P24病毒量感染正常人分离的外周血单个核细胞(PBMC).ELISA法检测第1、3、5、7、10、15天的HIV-1 P24抗原.反映病毒复制能力;采用HIV-1核酸荧光定量检测试剂盒测定血浆病毒载量。数据分析采用t检验。结果HIV-1B’亚型感染者22例,其中CD4^+细胞〉0.2×10^9/I。和CD4^+细胞≤0.2×10^9/L各11例;昕分离的病毒仅利用CCR5辅助受体,均为R5型毒株.感染性的结果显示.来自CD4^+细胞≤0.2×10^9/L的11株R5毒株的感染性为(7.3927±d.5842)%,而CD4^+细胞〉0.2×10^9/L的为(2.6136±1.6105)%,差异有统计学意义(t=3.262,P〈0.05);两组病毒复制滴度在第7天开始明显上升,培养第7、10、15天,两组病毒复制动力学差异有统计学意义(t值分别为3.771、2.509和2.260;P〈0.05),CD4^+细胞≤0.2×10^9/L的R5毒株的复制能力较CD4^+细胞〉0.2×10^9/L的明显增强;CD4^+细胞≤0.2×10^9/L R5型毒株的病毒载量的对数值为(5.6068±0.8151)拷贝/mL,CD4^+细胞〉0.2×10^9/L的为(4.7298±0.4316)拷贝/mL,两组差异有统计学意义(t=3.771,P〈0.05)。结论疾病进展过程中。即使病毒的辅助受体利用未从CCR5转变为CXCR4,但病毒的感染性和复制能力已有明显改变。
Objective To study biological characteristics of R5 tropic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 strains in different disease stage. Methods Primary clinical viruses were isolated from fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using co-culture methods; meanwhile, viral co receptor usage and infectivity were tested using flow cytometry on GHOST (3) cell lines, which expressed CD4 receptor and CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCRS) or CXCR4 coreceptor; to identified CCR5 tropic viruses(R5 tropic strains), Viral replication kinetics was detected in PBMCs. Plasma viral load was measured using an HIV-1 nucleotidc fluorescence quantifieation assay kit. Results There were 22 individuals with HIV-1 subtype B' infection, in which 11 were CD4 〉 0.2 × 10^9/L and 11 were CD4 ≤ 0. 2 × 10^9 / L. All isolated viruses used CCR5 coreceptor and therefore were HIV-1 R5 tropic strains. The infectivity of R5 tropic strains isolated from patients with CD4≤0.2 × 10^9/L was (7. strain from patients with CD4〉0. 2 × 10^9/1. was 392 7±4. 584 2) % ; while the infectivity of R5 tropic (2. 613 6±1. 610 5)%. There were significant statistical difference(t=3. 262, P〈0.05). The possibility of viral replication became strong after the day 7 post-infection. There was a significant difference of viral replication between two groups in the day 7,10,15 post-infection(t value was 3. 771, 2. 509 and 2. 260 respectively, P〈 0. 05). The possibility of viral replication was higher in CD4≤0.2 × 10^9/L group than that of CD4〉0.2 × 10^9/L group. The logarithm of viral load was (5. 606 8±0. 815 1) copies/mL in CD4≤0.2 × 10^9/L group and (4. 729 8±0. 431 6) copies/mL in CD4 〉 0. 2 × 10^9/L group. There was a significant difference between two groups(t= 3. 771 ; P〈 0.05). Conclusion Viral infection and replicatioh are enhanced during progression of disease, even if viral coreceptor usage do not switch from CCR5 to CXCR4.
