Use of helper-free replication-defective simian immunodeficiency virus-based vectors to study macrophage and T tropism: evidence for distinct levels of restriction in primary macrophages and a T-cell line
Abstract
Cell tropism of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV, respectively) is governed in part by interactions between the viral envelope protein and the cellular receptors. However, there is evidence that envelope-host cell interactions also affect postentry steps in viral replication. We used a helper-free replication-defective SIV macaque (SIVmac)-based retroviral vector carrying the enhanced jellyfish green fluorescent protein inserted into the nef region (V1EGFP) to examine SIV tropism in a single cycle of infection. Vector stocks containing envelope proteins from three different SIVmac clones, namely, SIVmac239 (T-lymphocyte tropic [T-tropic]), SIVmac316 (macrophage tropic [M-tropic]), and SIVmac1A11 (dualtropic), were tested. SIVmac239 replicates efficiently in many human T-cell lines, but it does not efficiently infect primary rhesus macrophages. Conversely, SIVmac316 efficiently infects primary macrophages, but it does not replicate in Molt4-Clone8 (M4C8) T cells. SIVmac1A11 replicates efficiently in both cell types. When primary macrophages were infected with V1EGFP pseudotyped by SIVmac316 or SIVmac1A11 envelopes, the infection was substantially (ca. 200- to 300-fold) more efficient than for the SIVmac239 pseudotype. Thus, in primary macrophages, a major component of M versus T tropism involves relatively early events in the infection cycle. Quantitative PCR studies indicated that synthesis and transport of vector DNA into the nucleus were similar for macrophages infected with the clone 239 and 316 pseudotypes, suggesting that the restriction for SIVmac239 infection is after reverse transcription and nuclear import of viral DNA. When the same vector pseudotypes were used to infect M4C8 cells, they all showed approximately equivalent infectivities, even though replication-competent SIVmac316 does not continue to replicate in these cells. Therefore, in M4C8 cells, restriction involves a late step in the infection cycle (after proviral integration and expression). Thus, depending on the cell type infected, envelope-dependent cell interactions that govern SIV M and T tropism may involve different steps in infection.
