摘要

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease (PR) plays an essential role in processing viral polyproteins into mature proteins. As a result, it is a major target for the development of drugs against AIDS. However, due to the rapid emergence of drug-resistant HIV, the development of novel HIV PR inhibitors is urgently needed. We recently established a new cell line E-PR293 which can be used as a safe, convenient and highly efficient assay system to screen HIV-1 PR inhibitors. In the cells, the HIV-1 PR is expressed in a chimeric protein with the green fluorescence protein (GFP). This assay measures the PR activity as a function of either the fluorescence of GFP or the cytotoxic activity of HIV-1 PR which is expressed in the cell. E-PR293 cells were maintained in the presence of doxycycline, which suppresses the expression of HIV-1 PR. The removal of doxycycline induces the expression of HIV-1 PR, which is used to screen HIV-1 PR inhibitors. In E-PR293 cells, the 50% inhibitory concentration of the cytotoxic effects by nelfinavir and saquinavir were as low as nanomolar levels, almost equal to those found in the HIV-infection assay.
