Document 0269 DOCN M9460269 TI Salmonella typhimurium induces expression of P glycoprotein (multidrug resistance 1 gene product) in a promonocytic cell line chronically infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1. DT 9404 AU Andreana A; Gollapudi S; Gupta S; Division of Basic and Clinical Immunology, University of; California, Irvine. SO J Infect Dis. 1994 Apr;169(4):760-5. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/94179884 AB This investigation showed that phagocytosis of virulent Salmonella typhimurium by promonocytic leukemia cell line U1, which contains human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) provirus but produces minimal or no virus, and not by uninfected U937 cell line resulted in expression of a functional P glycoprotein. Anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) monoclonal antibody failed to inhibit S. typhimurium-induced P glycoprotein expression. Furthermore, recombinant TNF alpha had no effect on the induction of P glycoprotein expression in U1 cells. These data demonstrate that phagocytosis of virulent S. typhimurium results in an induction of P glycoprotein in association with HIV-1 infection; however, TNF alpha does not appear to play a significant role. Thus, secondary microbial infection in HIV-1-positive persons may play a role in multidrug resistance against antiviral and other antimicrobial agents by an induction of P glycoprotein.
