AbstractRibozymes are catalytic RNAs that offer several advantages as specific therapeutic genes against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Significant challenges in antiviral uses of ribozymes include (1) how best to express and to deliver this agent and (2) what is the best locale to target ribozymes against HIV-1 RNA. To explore the former, we have previously characterized several vector systems for efficient expression/delivery of anti-HIV-1 ribozymes (Dropulic et al., 1992; Dropulic and Jeang, 1994a; Smith et al., 1997). Here, to investigate an optimal locale for ribozyme-targeting, we asked whether it might be advantageous to direct ribozymes into HIV-1 virions as opposed to the more conventional approach of targeting ribozymes into infected cells. Two series of experiments were performed. First, we demonstrated that ant-HIV-1 ribozymes could indeed be packaged specifically and efficiently into virions. Second, we compared the virus suppressing activity of packageable ribozyme with its counterpart, which cannot be packaged into HIV-1 virions. Our results showed that although both ribozymes cleaved HiV-1 genomic RNA in vitro with equivalent efficiencies, the former ribozyme demonstrated significantly higher virus-suppressing activity than the latter. These findings provide proof-of-principle that to combat productive HIV-1 replication, intravirion targeting is more effective than intracellular targeting of ribozymes. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
