Popis: We performed the screening to find the novel host factors affecting human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) replication using the siRNA mini-library consisted with 257 siRNAs directed against cellular genes. J111 cells, a human acute monocytic leukemia cell line, were transfected with individual siRNA, followed by either infected or transfected with the HIV-1 molecular clone with luciferase reporter gene in 96-well plate format. The results showed that six siRNAs significantly enhanced the HIV-1 replication in J111 cells, indicating that the target cellular genes of those siRNAs may negatively regulate HIV-1 replication in normal cell culture condition. We also discuss the possible mechanisms by which those cellular proteins regulate viral replication.
