The expression of the HIV-1 Tat protein in HeLa cells resulted in a 2.5-fold decrease in the activity of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). This decrease seemed not to be due to a disturbance in selenium (Se) uptake. Indeed, the intracellular level of Se was similar in parental and tat-transfected cells. A Se enrichment of the medium did not lead to an identical GPX activity in both cell lines, suggesting a disturbance in Se utilization. Total intracellular 75Se selenoproteins were analyzed. Several quantitative differences were observed between parental and tat-transfected cells. Mainly, cytoplasmic glutathione peroxidase and a 15-kDa selenoprotein were decreased in HeLa-tat cells, while phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase and low-molecular-mass selenocompounds were increased. Thioredoxin reductase activity and total levels of 75Se-labeled proteins were not different between the two cell types. The effect of Tat on GPX mRNA levels was also analyzed. Northern blots revealed a threefold decrease in the GPX/glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA ratio in HeLa-tat versus wild type cells. By deregulating the intracellular oxidant/antioxidant balance, the Tat protein amplified UV sensitivity. The LD50 for ultraviolet radiation A was 90 J/cm2 for HeLa cells and only 65 J/cm2 for HeLa-tat cells. The oxidative stress occurring in the Tat-expressing cells and demonstrated by the diminished ratio of reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione was not correlated with the intracellular metal content. Cellular iron and copper levels were significantly decreased in HeLa-tat cells. All these disturbances, as well as the previously described decrease in Mn superoxide dismutase activity, are part of the viral strategy to modify the redox potential of cells and may have important consequences for patients.
