Abstract:
:We found that orphan opioid receptor (OR) mRNA was constitutively expressed in human fetal microglia, astrocytes, and cerebral cortical neurons. An OR antisense oligonucleotide markedly inhibited HIV-1 expression in enriched microglial cell and the mixed glial/neuronal cell cultures but not in the chronically infected promonocytic U1 cells. The sense oligonucleotide also inhibited HIV-1 expression in brain cell cultures. These findings indicate that while human brain cells constitutively express mRNA for OR, antisense oligonucleotides to OR non-specifically inhibit acute HIV-1 infection.
