Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Protease inhibitor treatment strongly diminishes mortality in HIV-infected patients. This treatment has also been associated with lipodystrophy and has been shown to alter adipocyte differentiation. The protease inhibitor nelfinavir has been indirectly implicated in the appearance and development of lipodystrophic syndrome, as well as in adipocyte cell death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nelfinavir on the 3T3-F442A adipocyte cell line. Nelfinavir (30 microM) induced cell death of 3T3-F442A adipocytes by a necrotic process that was not mediated by TNF-alpha. Treatment of cells with this protease inhibitor led to a significant increase in expression of the heme oxygenase-1 gene that could be reduced by 100 microM of the antioxidant ascorbate. Moreover, ascorbate had a protective effect on nelfinavir-induced necrosis, decreasing the percentage of necrotic cells by 70%. Our results show that nelfinavir induces necrosis of adipocytes mediated by a cellular increase of reactive oxygen species. This deleterious effect could be counterbalanced by ascorbate.
