RESUMO
CCR5-using (R5) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a major viral population that is transmitted by sexual intercourse and that replicates in infected individuals during the asymptomatic stage of HIV-1 infection, suggesting that agents effective against R5 HIV-1 can be expected to prevent viral transmission and delay disease progression. However, R5 HIV-1 is unable to replicate in human T-cell lines, which is an apparent obstacle to efficient and reliable susceptibility tests of compounds for their activities against R5 HIV-1. To establish a simple and rapid assay system for the monitoring of R5 HIV-1 replication and drug susceptibility, we have established a novel reporter T-cell line, MOCHA (which represents MOLT-4 cells stably expressing CCR5 and carrying the HIV-1 long terminal repeat-driven secretory alkaline phosphatase). Cells of this cell line express CD4, CXCR4, and CCR5 on their surfaces and secrete human placental alkaline phosphatase into the culture supernatants during HIV-1 infection. MOCHA cells proved to be highly permissive for the replication of R5 HIV-1 as well as CXCR4-using (X4) HIV-1, and the alkaline phosphatase activity increased in parallel with increasing HIV-1 p24 antigen levels in the culture supernatants. When HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, and entry inhibitors, including the CCR5 antagonist TAK-779 and the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100, were examined for their inhibitory effects on R5 and X4 HIV-1 replication in MOCHA cells, the antiviral activities of these compounds were found to be almost identical to those previously reported in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Thus, MOCHA cells are an extremely useful tool for detection of R5 and X4 HIV-1 replication and drug susceptibility tests.
