简介
The infection of human colonic epithelial cells HT-29 by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) occurs independently of CD4, the main HIV-1 receptor expressed on lymphocytes and macrophages. Recent studies from our group have shown that HT-29 cells express the glycosphingolipid galactosylceramide (GalCer), a potential alternative receptor for the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120. The binding of recombinant gp120 to GalCer was blocked by monoclonal antibodies directed against the third variable region (V3) of gp120, suggesting that the V3 domain was implicated in GalCer recognition. In the present report, we show that suramin, a polysulfonyl naphtylurea known to inhibit retroviral reverse transcriptases in vitro, blocks HIV-1 infection in HT-29 cells. The effect is dose dependent, with a half-maximal inhibition (IC50) achieved for a suramin concentration of 54 micrograms/ml. Since [3H]suramin …
