The role of blood cell membrane lipids on the mode of action of HIV-1 fusion inhibitor sifuvirtide.

Abstract:

:Sifuvirtide is a gp41 based peptide that inhibits HIV-1 fusion with the host cells and is currently under clinical trials. Previous studies showed that sifuvirtide partitions preferably to saturated phosphatidylcholine lipid membranes, instead of fluid-phase lipid vesicles. We extended the study to the interaction of the peptide with circulating blood cells, by using the dipole potential sensitive probe di-8-ANEPPS. Sifuvirtide decreased the dipole potential of erythrocyte and lymphocyte membranes in a concentration dependent manner, demonstrating its interaction. Also, the lipid selectivity of the peptide towards more rigid phosphatidylcholines was confirmed based on the dipole potential variations. Overall, the interaction of the peptide with the cell membranes is a contribution of different lipid preferences that presumably directs the peptide towards raft-like domains where the receptors are located, facilitating the reach of the peptide to its molecular target, the gp41 in its pre-fusion conformation.

  • Activated p53 induces NF-kappaB DNA binding but suppresses its transcriptional activation.

    abstract::NF-kappaB plays an important role in oncogenesis. Recently, we have demonstrated that loss of p53 function enhances DNA binding and transcriptional activities of NF-kappaB via IKKalpha and IKKbeta, and that glycolysis, activated by NF-kappaB, has an integral role in oncogene-induced cell transformation. Here, we show ...
