A promising direction in the treatment of HIV infection is a gene therapy approach based on the insertion of antiviral genes aimed at inhibiting HIV replication into the genome of host cells. We obtained six constructs of lentiviral vectors with different arrangements of three antiviral genes: microRNAs against the CCR5 gene, the gene encoding the C-peptide, and the gene encoding the modified human TRIM5a protein. We found that despite containing the same genes, these vectors were produced at different titers and had different effects on cell viability, transduction efficiency, and expression stability. Comparative evaluation of the antiviral activity of three of the six developed vectors that showed stable expression was carried out using the continuous SupT1 lymphocytic cell line. All of the vectors protected cells from HIV infection: the viral load was several orders of magnitude lower than in control cells, and with one vector, complete cessation of virus growth in modified cells was achieved. |
