摘要

GB virus type C (GBV-C) is an apparently nonpathogenic virus that replicates in T and B lymphocytes and is a common cause of persistent human infection. Among HIV-1-infected individuals, persistent coinfection with GBV-C is associated with prolonged survival, and infection of blood mononuclear cells or CD4(+) T cells with GBV-C and HIV in vitro results in significantly reduced HIV-1 replication. To date, the viral protein(s) that lead to HIV inhibition have not been identified. The GBV-C nonstructural phosphoprotein (NS5A) is predicted to have pleotropic effects on cells, including interactions with the IFN-induced dsRNA-activated protein kinase (PKR). We studied GBV-C NS5A to determine whether it is involved in inhibition of HIV replication. GBV-C NS5A protein from an isolate that was cleared by IFN therapy did not inhibit PKR, whereas NS5A from an isolate that was not cleared by IFN-inhibited PKR function in a yeast genetic system. Both of these GBV-C NS5A proteins were expressed in a CD4+ T cell line (Jurkat), and both induced a potent, dose-dependent inhibition of HIV-1 replication, thus the effect was independent of PKR inhibition. NS5A induced the release of the chemokine SDF-1 and decreased surface expression of the HIV coreceptor CXCR4, potentially explaining the HIV inhibition. Deletion mapping of the NS5A protein found that an 85-aa region between amino acids 152 and 237 inhibits HIV-1 replication. Thus, GBV-C NS5A protein alters the cellular milieu necessary for HIV-1 replication and may provide a previously undescribed therapeutic approach for anti-HIV therapy.
