RESUMO
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) primarily infects CD4+ lymphocytes and macrophages and causes AIDS in humans. Retroviral vectors allowing neomycin phosphotransferase (npt) gene expression were engineered to express 5' sequences of HIV-1 RNA in the antisense or sense orientation and used to transform the human CD4+ lymphocyte-derived MT4 cell line. Cells expressing antisense or sense RNA to the HIV-1 tat mRNA leader sequence, as part of the 3' untranslated region of the npt mRNA, remained sensitive to HIV-1 infection. In contrast, resistance to HIV-1 infection was observed in cells expressing antisense RNA to the HIV-1 primer-binding site or to the region 5' to the primer-binding site as part of the 3' region of the npt mRNA. Cells expressing the tat mRNA leader sequence in the sense orientation as a precise replacement of the 5' untranslated region of npt mRNA were also resistant to HIV-1. These results indicate that sense and antisense approaches can be used to interfere with HIV-1 multiplication.
