From the Human immunodeficiency virus infection is
associated with inflammation and endothelial cell activation that
cannot be ascribed to direct infection by the virus or to the presence
of opportunistic infections. Factors related to the virus itself, to
the host and/or to environmental exposures probably account for these
observations. The HIV protein Tat, a viral regulator required for
efficient transcription of the viral genome in host cells is secreted
from infected cells and taken up by uninfected by-stander cells. Tat can also act as a general transcriptional activator of key inflammatory molecules. We have examined whether Tat contributes to this endothelial cell activation by activating NF-

B. Human endothelial cells exposed to Tat in the culture medium activated E-selectin expression with delayed kinetics compared with tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
Tat-mediated E-selectin up-regulation required the basic domain of Tat
and was inhibited by a Tat antibody. Transfection of human E-selectin promoter-luciferase reporter constructs into Tat-bearing cells or into
endothelial cells co-transfected with a Tat expression vector resulted
in induction of luciferase expression. Either Tat or TNF activated p65
translocation and binding to an oligonucleotide containing the
E-selectin
B site 3 sequence. Tat-mediated p65 translocation was
also delayed compared with TNF. Neither agent induced new synthesis of
p65. A super-repressor adenovirus (AdI
B
SR) that constitutively
sequesters I
B in the cytoplasm as well as cycloheximide or
actinomycin D inhibited Tat- or TNF-mediated
B translocation and
E-selectin up-regulation.
