HIV cell-to-cell spread slows evolution of drug resistance


ABSTRACT: Here we investigated whether a combination of cell-free infection and cell-to-cell spread confers a selective advantage in the evolution of resistance to an inhibitor relative to cell-to-cell spread alone due to the stronger selection pressure against drug sensitive virus. We propagated HIV infection using coculture of infected with uninfected cells in the face of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz (EFV), and compared the effect on drug resistance evolution of including one cycle of cell-free infection. In the presence of a single cell-free infection step, we obtained earlier evolution of resistance to EFV. When we increased selective pressure by adding emtricitabine (FTC as a second drug, infection with the cell-free step evolved multidrug resistance and was able to replicate, while infection without a cell-free step failed to evolve multidrug resistance. In conclusion, our results suggest that, HIV cell-to-cell spread has a decreased capacity to rapidly evolve resistance to inhibitors, which is conferred by cell-free infection.
