Description | Zidovudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), widely used to treat HIV infection. Zidovudine increases CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing frequency. |

In Vitro | Zidovudine inhibits SVG, Primary human fetal astrocytes (PFA), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) with EC50 of 17, 1311, 8, and 5 nM, respectively. Zidovudine inhibits SVG, PFA, PBMC, and MDM with EC90 of 0.205 μM, 44.157 μM, 0.481 μM, and 0.219 μM, respectively[1]. Genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 has become an efficient and reliable way to make precise, targeted changes to the genome of living cells. CXCR4 is a co-receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and has been considered as an important therapeutic target for AIDS. CXCR4 mediates viral entry into human CD4+ cells by binding to envelope protein, gp120. Human CXCR4 gene is efficiently disrupted by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, leading to HIV-1 resistance of human primary CD4+ T cells. The Cas9-mediated ablation of CXCR4 demonstrated high specificity and negligible off-target effects without affecting cell division and propagation[2]. |
In Vivo | Intravitrous injection of the NRTIs Lamivudine (3TC), Zidovudine (AZT), or Abacavir (ABC) suppresses the laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in wild-type mice compared to PBS vehicle. The mean level of VEGF-A in the RPE/choroid, which peaks on day 3 after laser injury, is significantly reduced in 3TC-, AZT- and ABC-treated eyes compared with control eyes in wild-type mice, but not inP2rx7-/- mice[3]. |
Cell Assay | Assays are performed in all cell types in the presence of titrating concentrations of ARV. 5,000 SVG, 2,500 PFA, 200,000 PBMC, or 50,000 MDM cells/well are seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates. Twenty-four hours later, the culture medium is removed and replaced with medium containing the ARV or DMSO (0.5% vol/vol), and equivalent TCID50 infectious units of luciferase reporter virus are added to the cells. After a 16 h incubation at 37°C, the initial viral inoculum is removed and replaced with culture medium containing the same antiretroviral drug (ARV) or DMSO (0.5% vol/vol) concentrations. At 72 h post infection, the medium is aspirated, the cells are lysed and HIV-1 infection measured using the Luciferase Assay System. Luminescence is measured using a FLUOStar Optima microplate reader. Inhibition curves and the 50% (EC50) and 90% (EC90) effective concentrations are determined by nonlinear regression analysis, using GraphPad Prism software[1]. |
Animal Admin | Mice[3] C57BL/6J (wild-type) and P2rx7-/- mice are used. The Nlrp3-/- mice are used. The NRTIs 3TC, AZT, and ABC or the P2X7 antagonist A438079 hydrochloride are dissolved in PBS. For CNV, each group of mice is injected once with 1 μL of NRTIs (3TC, 125 ng/μL; ABC, 183 ng/μL; AZT, 146 ng/μL), 1 μL of A438079 hydrochloride (3, 30, or 300 ng/μL), or the same volume of vehicle (PBS) into the vitreous humor using a 33-gauge needle immediately after laser injury. Another group of mice is injected with 3TC (125 ng) in combination with an anti-mouse VEGF polyclonal antibody (10 ng). Goat whole IgG (10 ng) is used as a biological control for the anti-mouse VEGF antibody. |
