High level of HIV prevalence was found in some specific areas or populations in China. Shijingshan district was one of the areas with rapid increase of newly reported HIV cases in Beijing, China. Comprehensive investigation on HIV genetic characteristics is necessary in the district. In this study, we enrolled 223 newly identified HIV-1 sero-positive drug-naive patients from Shijingshan district. The full-length , , and partial gene sequences were amplified and sequenced. Genetic characterization and transmission of drug resistance of HIV-1 were further investigated. Many stains, including CRF01_AE (48.25%), CRF07_BC (31.47%), subtype B (4.9%), 55_01B (1.40%), 59_01B (0.70%), 65_cpx (2.10%), 79_0107 (0.70%), and A (0.70%) and unique recombinant forms (URF) of 0107 (6.29%), 01B (1.40%), and 01BC (2.10%), were identified. Among 106 strains that harbor full-length PR gene, 10 (9.43%) strains contain mutations associated with drug resistance to protease inhibitors. Among 59 strains that harbor full-length reverse transcriptase (RT) gene, no strains contained mutations conferred to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors resistance and 4 strains (6.78%) contained drug-resistant mutations to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Among 58 sequences harboring full-length IN gene, 1 stain (1.72%) contained a mutation causing drug resistance to integrase strand transfer inhibitors. Our results provided detailed genetic data on HIV prevalent in Shijingshan district of Beijing, which would be helpful for understanding HIV-1 transmission among local populations.
在中国的一些特定地区或人群中发现了较高的艾滋病毒流行率。石景山区是中国北京新报告艾滋病毒病例快速增加的地区之一。对该地区艾滋病毒基因特征进行全面调查很有必要。在本研究中,我们招募了223名来自石景山区新确诊的HIV-1血清阳性初治患者。对全长gag、pol和部分env基因序列进行扩增和测序。进一步研究了HIV-1的基因特征和耐药性传播情况。鉴定出许多毒株,包括CRF01_AE(48.25%)、CRF07_BC(31.47%)、B亚型(4.9%)、55_01B(1.40%)、59_01B(0.70%)、65_cpx(2.10%)、79_0107(0.70%)、A(0.70%)以及0107(6.29%)、01B(1.40%)和01BC(2.10%)的独特重组形式(URF)。在106株携带全长蛋白酶(PR)基因的毒株中,10株(9.43%)含有与蛋白酶抑制剂耐药相关的突变。在59株携带全长逆转录酶(RT)基因的毒株中,没有毒株含有对核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂耐药的突变,4株(6.78%)含有对非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂的耐药突变。在58条携带全长整合酶(IN)基因的序列中,1株(1.72%)含有导致对整合酶链转移抑制剂耐药的突变。我们的结果提供了北京石景山区艾滋病毒流行的详细基因数据,这将有助于了解当地人群中HIV-1的传播情况。
