Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94369419 AB OBJECTIVE: Using CD14-positive HIV-1 infected cell line, J22HL60, we try to find out the mechanism of HIV expression induced by LPS in macrophage. METHODS: Induction of J22HL60 cells was proceeded for HIV expression with or without inhibitors. HIV expression was detected by indirect immunofluorescent staining and P24 assay. Concentration of diacylglycerol (DAG) was measured with production of radiorabeled compound by DAG kinase. RESULTS: Not only LPS but olso DAG was a potent HIV inducer. Staurosporine as well as anti-CD14 antibody supressed HIV induction. LPS stimulation increased DAG concentration in cell membrane. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Protein kinase C and phospholipase C (PLC) are involved in HIV expression in macrophage. CD-14 could transduce a signal toward PLC.
