Silencing the NMT1 gene blocked the infection of human MDM by HIV-1 CRF02_AG isolates, but had no effect on clade-B HIV-1 infection. Silencing of NMT1, NMT2, CKIIα and CKIIβ genes in primary human MDM was confirmed by RT-PCR (A) and Western blot analyses (B). For panels A and B, controls are non-transduced MDM. “S” are MDM transduced with scrambled shRNA. Following NMT1 and NMT2 gene silencing, MDM were infected with CRF02_AG or clade-B HIV-1 isolates (3 different isolates for each subtype, each isolate tested in triplicate) and RT activity measured from day-5 to day-21 p.i. (C,D) RT activity in MDM with NMT1 gene silenced. (E,F) RT activity in MDM with NMT2 gene silenced. For panels CF, controls are non-HIV infected (mock-infected) MDM, “S” are MDM transduced with scrambled shRNA; “sh” are MDM transduced with NMT1 or NMT2 shRNA. **P < 0.01; #P < 0.0001, compared to infected MDM treated with similar concentrations of scrambled shRNA (S).
