Genotypic diversity among HIV-1 subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRF) may lead to distinct pathways to drug resistance. This study evaluated subtype-related differences in the development of resistance in culture to tenofovir.
Genotyping determined nucleotide diversity among subtypes. Representative subtype B, C, CRF1_AE, CRF2_AG, G, and HIV-2 isolates were selected for resistance to tenofovir, lamivudine and didanosine in cell culture. Phenotypic assays determined the effects of the K65R substitution in reverse transcriptase (RT) on drug susceptibility.
Subtype C isolates show unique polymorphisms in RT codons 64 (AAG-->AAA), 65 (AAA-->AAG), and 66 (AAA-->AAG), absent in other subtypes. The K65R mutation (AAG-->AGG) arose with tenofovir by week 12 in four subtype C selections. In contrast, no tenofovir resistance arose in four subtype B (> 34-74 weeks), one each of CRF2_AG and G (> 30-33 weeks), and three HIV-2 (> 27-28 weeks) selections. K65R appeared after 55 and 73 weeks in two CRF1_AE selections with tenofovir. In contrast, times to the appearance of M184V with lamivudine pressure (weeks 8-14) did not vary among subtypes. Selective didanosine pressure resulted in the appearance of M184V and L74V after 38 weeks in two of four subtype C selections. The K65R transitions in subtype C and other subtypes (AGG and AGA) conferred similar 6.5-10-fold resistance to tenofovir and five to 25-fold cross-resistance to each of abacavir, lamivudine, and didanosine, while not affecting zidovudine susceptibility.
Tenofovir -based regimens will need to be carefully monitored in subtype C infections for the possible selection of K65R.
HIV-1亚型和循环重组型(CRF)之间的基因多样性可能导致不同的耐药途径。本研究评估了在细胞培养中对替诺福韦耐药性发展的亚型相关差异。
基因分型确定亚型间的核苷酸多样性。选择代表性的B亚型、C亚型、CRF1_AE、CRF2_AG、G亚型和HIV-2分离株,在细胞培养中检测其对替诺福韦、拉米夫定和去羟肌苷的耐药性。表型分析确定逆转录酶(RT)中K65R替换对药物敏感性的影响。
C亚型分离株在RT密码子64(AAG→AAA)、65(AAA→AAG)和66(AAA→AAG)处显示独特的多态性,其他亚型不存在。在四个C亚型选择中,到第12周时,K65R突变(AAG→AGG)与替诺福韦一起出现。相比之下,在四个B亚型(>34 - 74周)、CRF2_AG和G亚型各一个(>30 - 33周)以及三个HIV-2(>27 - 28周)选择中,未出现替诺福韦耐药。在两个接受替诺福韦的CRF1_AE选择中,K65R分别在55周和73周后出现。相比之下,在拉米夫定压力下M184V出现的时间(8 - 14周)在各亚型间没有差异。在四个C亚型选择中的两个中,选择性的去羟肌苷压力导致38周后出现M184V和L74V。C亚型和其他亚型中的K65R转换(AGG和AGA)对替诺福韦产生相似的6.5 - 10倍耐药,对阿巴卡韦、拉米夫定和去羟肌苷各产生5至25倍的交叉耐药,同时不影响齐多夫定的敏感性。
在C亚型感染中,基于替诺福韦的治疗方案需要仔细监测是否可能选择出K65R。
