S1 |
0-203 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Triggering of complement receptors CR1 (CD35) and CR3 (CD11b/CD18) induces nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B (p50/p65) in human monocytes and enhances viral replication in HIV-infected monocytic cells. |
S2 |
204-297 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Monocyte/macrophages may harbor HIV in a nonproductive fashion for prolonged periods of time. |
S3 |
298-416 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Viral gene expression may be reactivated by stimulation of the cells with LPS or cytokines such as TNF-alpha in vitro. |
S4 |
417-630 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The effect of LPS and TNF-alpha is mediated by their ability to induce nuclear translocation of the DNA-binding heterodimer NF-kappa B (p50/p65), which binds to a specific sequence in the HIV-long terminal repeat. |
S5 |
631-799 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The present study demonstrates that triggering of complement receptors CR1 (CD35) and CR3 (CD11b/CD18) enhances viral replication in HIV-infected human monocytic cells. |
S6 |
800-1014 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Monocytic cell lines and normal peripheral blood monocytes were infected with HIV-1 in vitro and cultured in the presence or absence of F(ab')2 fragments of monoclonal anti-CR1 or anti-CR3 Abs or with C3 fragments. |
S7 |
1015-1223 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Stimulation of CR1 or CR3 induces a two- to fourfold increase in the amount of cell-associated and released p24 Ag in cell cultures that was equivalent to that observed in control cultures triggered with LPS. |
S8 |
1224-1349 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We further observed that stimulation of CR1 or CR3 induces the nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B p50/p65 in infected cells. |
S9 |
1350-1510 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Translocation of NF-kappa B p50/p65 was also observed following stimulation of CR1 or CR3 of uninfected peripheral blood monocytes from HIV-seronegative donors. |
S10 |
1511-1619 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The amount of protein translocated was similar to that observed when cells were stimulated with rhTNF-alpha. |
S11 |
1620-1732 |
Sentence |
denotes |
TNF-alpha did not mediate the translocation of NF-kappa B p50/p65 induced by triggering of complement receptors. |
S12 |
1733-2033 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Taken together, these observations suggest that HIV gene expression may be activated in infected monocytes through interaction of the cells with complement-opsonized particles and that enhanced viral replication is associated with C3 receptor-mediated nuclear translocation of the NF-kappa B complex. |
