3). HIV-1 induces IL-6 in BMVEC Beginning about 16 hr after HIV-1 exposure of BMVEC, HIV-1 exposure stimulates release of a high concentration of IL-6, as determined by ELISA (unpublished data). IL-6 was induced by HIV-1 in a prolonged fashion (up to 96 hr post-infection) despite absence of virus replication. Hofman et al (10) previously demonstrated that Tat may induce release of biologically active IL-6 in brain endothelia. Cytokine, such as IL-6, and other mediators induced by the virus or viral peptides could lead to structural remodeling of endothelia, which may underlie the decreased barrier function of endothelia for HIV-1 and possibly for monocyte/macrophages.
The respective primer sequences were: GAPDH, 5’ TGGTATCGTGGAAGGACTCATGAC, 3’ ATGCCAGTGAGCTTCCCGTTCAGC; CD4, 5’ GCTAGGCATCTTCTTCTGTG, 3’ CTGCTACATTCATCTGGTCC; CCR5, 5’ CCTGTTTTTCCTTCTTACTG, 3’ GTGGCTCTTCTTCTCATTTC; CXCR4, 5’ AAATGGGCTCAGGGGACTAT, 3’ GGAACACAACCACCCACAAG; HIV-1, SK38 ATAATCCACCTATCCCAGTAGGAGAAAT, SK39 TTTGGTCCTTGTCTTATGTCCAGAATGC. RT-PCR analyses of glyceraldehyde-3phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA were used for normalization. The amount of radiolabel incorporated during amplification of the target gene was calculated and used to directly compare the levels of RNA expression.
