The dose-dependent H2O2 stress response promotes increased survival for Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells expressing HIV-1 Vpr

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral protein R (Vpr) exerts multiple effects on viral and host cellular activities during infection, including induction of the cell cycle G2 arrest, and cell death in both human cells and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We show that treament of exponential-phase wild-type Vpr-expressing S. pombe cells with a low, subinhibitory concentration (0.15 mmol/L) of hydrogen peroxide and 0.1 mmol/L thiamine significantly increased both cell proliferation and survival rates and decreased the number of elongated G2-arrested cells. Short-term, H2O2-induced adaptive stress increased the survival of the cells while acute stress conditions interrupted the Vpr-mediated death of the cells; however, no changes in cell length or cell phase were detected. The results suggest the importance of the oxidative status of the cells in Vpr-mediated processes. Our findings contribute to the development of a new approach via which to investigate the contribution of Vpr to HIV pathogenesis and to reduce the Vpr-mediated effects in HIV-infected patients.
