Objective To investigate the HIV-1 drug resistance in Guangxi during 2009 to 2012 and to analyze the correlations between drug resistance and HIV-1 subtypes.Methods Patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection or acquired immune deficiency syndrome ( HIV/AIDS) were randomly re-cruited from different areas in Guangxi.HIV-1 RNA was extracted from blood samples of the subjects and converted into complementary DNA ( cDNA) by using reverse transcription.The pol gene was amplified and sequenced.Subtyping analysis was performed by using the online analysis tool of Genotyping in combination with the MEGA 5.03 software.The HIV resistance mutations were determined and scored with the use of Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database.Results A total of 196 pol gene sequences were obtained from 103 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated subjects (52.55%) and 93 ART-na?ve subjects (47.45%).The 196 pol gene sequences were classified into four subtypes including CRF01_AE, CRF08_BC, CRF07_BC and B, accounting for 48.47%, 44.90%, 6.12%and 0.51%, respectively.The HIV drug resistance rates in sub-jects with and without ART were 10.68% and 7.53%, respectively.Among the 196 subjects, 14 cases showed low level of drug resistance, 3 cases showed moderate level of drug resistance and 4 cases showed high level of resistance.Only one case was resistant to both nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors ( NR-TIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors ( NNRTIs) .The resistance rates of the 196 cases to protease inhibitor (PIs), NRTIs, NNRTIs, and integrase inhibitors (INs) were 6.63%, 3.06%, 11.22%and 8.67%, respectively.The frequencies of PIs-related mutations in subtypes CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC were 6.32%, 41.67% and 2.27%, respectively.Most of the PI-related A71V/T mutations were identified in strains belonging to subtype CRF07_BC, accounting for 75% of all A71V/T mutations found in the 196 strains.The NNRTI-related E138A mutations only appeared in strains belonging to subtype CRF08_BC.Conclusion The drug resistance rate among patients with HIV-1/AIDS in Guangxi was higher than the average level in China.The drug resistance rates varied with the subtypes of HIV-1 strains.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the impact of heroin for antiviral treatment, drug resistance, mutation types and frequency in HIV/AIDS patients in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HIV/AIDS patients were recruited in Methadone Maintenance Treatment Clinics, HIV/AIDS Clinic and HIV Voluntary Counseling and Testing Center Liuzhou and Baise city from April 2008 to October 2009. The patients were grouped by the situation of antiviral treatment and use of heroin. A total of 435 HIV/AIDS patients were recruited, among which 108 cases in antiviral treatment and heroin group, 93 cases in antiviral treatment and never using drug group, 105 cases in no antiviral treatment and using heroin group, 129 cases in no antiviral treatment and never using drug group. The effect of antiviral treatment was evaluated by questionnaire survey, viral load measurement and CD4(+) T lymphocyte count. HIV-1 RNA from plasma was extracted, and then the pol genes were amplified and sequenced. The sequences were analyzed for HIV-1 genotype drug-resistance.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>For the patients who received antiviral treatment, the viral load in heroin group was higher than that in never using drug group (lg (2.61 ± 1.24) vs lg (2.08 ± 0.80), t = 3.54, P < 0.05) , and the percentage of viral load lower than 1 000 copies/ml in heroin group was significantly less than that in never using drug group (63.9% vs 86.0%,χ(2) = 12.76, P < 0.05). For the patients who received antiviral treatment, the difference has no significance in CD4(+) T lymphocyte count between heroin group and never using drug group ((337.92 ± 181.66) vs (326.14 ± 254.98), t = 0.38, P = 0.703). For the patients who didn't receive antiviral treatment, the difference also has no significance in CD4(+) T lymphocyte count between heroin group and never using drug group ((373.73 ± 155.97) vs (337.53 ± 209.26), t = 1.47, P = 0.143). For the patients who received antiviral treatment, there was no difference in the percentage of the CD4(+) T lymphocyte count more than 350/ml between heroin group and never using drug group (48.1% vs 43.0%, χ(2) = 0.53, P = 0.466). 319 HIV-1 pol gene sequences were obtained. Among the patients who received antiviral treatment, the mutation frequency of M184V/I, T215Y/F, L210W and T69N/S in heroin abuser group were significantly higher than that in never using drug group (14.9% (11/74) vs 4.4% (3/68), 12.2% (9/74) vs 1.5% (1/68), 12.2% (9/74) vs 1.5% (1/68) and 10.8% (8/74) vs 1.5% (1/68) respectively) (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Using heroin may promote HIV replication, reducing the virological response to antiviral treatment and increasing the frequencies of drug resistance loci among HIV/AIDS patients.Heroin rehabilitation may benefit from the antiviral treatment and obtain better antiviral effect.</p>

Objective To investigate the effects of alcohol on hepatitis C virus( HCV) replication and type I interferon signaling pathway in human hepatocytes .Methods Primary hepatocytes were treated with different concentrations of alcohol , and then infected with HCV .The infected cells were collected to measure the level of HCV RNA .The alcohol-treated hepatocytes were also collected to detect the expression of HCV Core, IFN-α, IFN-β, IRF-7, suppressor of cytokine signaling SOCS-2 and SOCS-3 at mRNA and protein levels by real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA or Western blot , respectively .Results Alcohol treatment enhanced HCV infection and replication in primary hepatocytes at concentrations higher than 10 mmol/L in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).Treatment with 40 mmol/L of alcohol significantly reduced the expression of IFN-α, IFN-βand IRF-7 at mRNA and protein levels , and increased the expression of SOCS-2 and SOCS-3 at mRNA and protein levels .Conclusion Alcohol treatment could damage the host in-nate immunity in human hepatocytes and promote HCV replication by reducing the expression of type Ⅰinter-feron ( IFN-αand IFN-β) and IRF-7 and increasing the expression of negative regulators including SOCS-2 and SOCS-3.These results demonstrated that the impairment of innate immunity in liver of alcohol abusers might contribute to the enhancement of HCV infection and result in poor therapeutic effect of IFN -α.
RESUMO
To screen the siRNAs (small interference RNA sequences ) which specifically inhibit the gene expression of TLR2 in human monocyte-derived macrophage , and discuss their prospects on the treatment of HIV at the level of molecular immunology.Methods:We obtained the mRNA sequences of human TLR 2 gene from NCBI gene bank ,then designed three siRNAs by siDESIGNTM software.The siRNA targeting human housekeeping gene GAPDH was used as positive control.The fluorescent labeling missense siRNA sequences (NC-FAM ) was used as negative control.We collected fresh peripheral blood from healthy volunteers and isolated mononuclear cells from the blood samples.The human mononuclear macrophages were then purified from mononuclear cells by utilizing adherence method.Cationic liposome reagent Lipofectamine 2000 was used to mediate siRNAs into the human mononuclear macrophages.The levels of TLR2 mRNA expression of siRNA-transfected monocyte-derived macrophage were determined by q-PCR.Expression of TLR2 protein was determined by Western blot.Results: At 72 h after transfection ,we found that the expression of GAPDH mRNA and protein in positive control group decreased significantly.Also found there existed significant differences between each siRNA group (F=41.957,P<0.001).Compared with negative control ,the relative expression of TLR2 mRNA in all siRNAs groups decreased significantly (P<0.05 ) , and the inhibition rates were 46%, 43%, 43% by three miRNAs respectively.Western blot showed that the expression of TLR 2 protein in siRNAs groups decreased significantly compared with that of control (P<0.05 ).Conclusion: The designed siRNAs in this study could inhibit the expression of TLR 2 gene in human monocyte-derived macrophage ,indicating that mediation of TLR-2 expression by siRNA might be a novel strategy for HIV treatment from the per-spective of molecular immunology.
