RESUMO
The ACH-2 cell clone derived from a human T-cell line and chronically infected with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) and the U1 cell clone derived from a human promonocyte cell line and also chronically infected with HIV-1 produce HIV-1 in a response to stimulation with monokine-enriched supernatants prepared from highly purified populations of peripheral blood-derived human monocytes. Monokine-mediated expression of HIV-1 in these cell lines resulted in augmented virus production reflected by increases in reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, production of p24 antigen, and synthesis of major viral proteins. Examination of the cells by electron microscopy revealed numerous HIV-1 virions in the cells treated with the supernatants. This stimulation of virus production by monokine-enriched supernatants resulted in approximately 100-fold increases in RT activity and p24 antigen expression in comparison with those in untreated U1 and ACH-2 cells. Absorption of monokine-enriched supernatants with rabbit anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha antibody removed most, but not all, of the induced HIV-1 RT activity and p24 antigen expression in U1 and ACH-2 cell lines, suggesting that tumor necrosis factor alpha in the monokine-enriched supernatants is a major factor in the induction of HIV-1 expression in these cells.
