In addition to their properties as sequence-specific inhibitors of gene expression, sequence nonspecific phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides have been shown to protect against the cytopathic effects of HIV-1. Although these compounds are effective inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in vitro, it is not certain that they exert their cytoprotective effect only in this manner. Initial binding of the HIV-1 virion to cells involves the interaction of the viral envelope protein gp120 with CD4. In this report, we describe flow cytometric data and a solid-phase ELISA assay that document the ability of a phosphorothioate deoxycytidine 28-mer to interfere with this interaction by competing with gp120 binding to CD4. The biological importance of this interaction is demonstrated by the fact that phosphorothioate oligodeoxycytidine inhibits syncytium formation resulting from HIV-1-induced cell fusion. These data suggest that phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides may exert their cytoprotective effects, perhaps at least in part, by interfering with the binding of HIV-1 to the target cells.
