Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Infection of certain cell types by HIV results in formation of syncytia. This process can be blocked by antibodies or compounds that prevent interaction of viral envelope protein with host cell receptors. Here the authors describe an automated imaging-based assay for inhibitors of cell-cell fusion mediated by interaction of HIV gp120 with CXCR4 coreceptor. The assay quantifies syncytia formation between U87MG astrocytoma cells constitutively expressing CD4/CXCR4 and morphologically distinct Jurkat T lymphoma cells inducibly expressing HIV env. Each cell type was differentially labeled with vital dyes. Fusion was quantified by measuring size, shape, and color of Jurkat cells and Jurkat-harboring cell syncytia. Dose-response experiments with reference inhibitors AMD 3100 and KRH-1636 yielded potencies consistent with those obtained using standard antiviral assays. This assay complements virus-based infectivity assays for identification of inhibitors of membrane fusion events triggered by interaction of HIV gp120 with host CXCR4. |
