摘要
目的:探讨HIV-1感染是否影响细胞中UNG2的表达。方法:采用四步法SYBR greenⅠ实时定量RT-PCR,对HIV-1感染者的T和B淋巴细胞,以及HIV-1感染的C8166细胞核内UNG2 mRNA的表达进行测定。结果:UNG2 mRNA的表达在HIV-1感染者的T细胞和HIV-1感染的C8166细胞中被明显上调,分别是对照的8.76倍和8.14倍,而在HIV-1感染者的B细胞中却没有被上调。结论:HIV-1感染导致的UNG2表达上调,可能通过减少TCR的多样性削弱Th的功能,另一方面可能有利于病毒对UNG2的包装。
Objective: To investigate whether HIV-1 infection may activate the expression of nuclear UNG2 mRNA of T and B cells, which may inhibit antibody gene hypermutation and decrease antibody di- versity. Methods: The 4-step program in SYBR green I real-time RT-PCR was used to quantify the expression of UNG2 mRNA in T and B cells of HIV-l-infeeted individuals, and in HIV-1-infeeted C8166 cells. Results: The expression of UNG2 mRNA in T cells from HIV-1 infected patients and in C8166 cells infected with HIV-1 was found to be obviously up-regulated. Their relative expression indices were 8.76 and 8.14 in comparison with those of uninfected controls, respectively. Conclusion: The increased UNG2 in HIV-1 infected cells may lead to weakening Th cell function by decreasing TCR diversity, and may benefit incorporation of this enzyme into HIV-1 particles.
