Semen-derived enhancer of viral infection (SEVI) is composed of amyloid fibrils
that can greatly enhance HIV-1 infectivity. By its cationic property, SEVI
promotes viral sexual transmission by facilitating the attachment and
internalization of HIV-1 to target cells. Therefore, semen-derived amyloid
fibrils are potential targets for microbicide design. ADS-J1 is an anionic HIV-1
entry inhibitor. In this study, we explored an additional function of ADS-J1:
inhibition of SEVI fibril formation and blockage of SEVI-mediated enhancement of
viral infection. We found that ADS-J1 bound to an amyloidogenic peptide fragment
(PAP248-286, comprising amino acids 248 to 286 of the enzyme prostatic acid
phosphatase), thereby inhibiting peptide assembly into amyloid fibrils. In
addition, ADS-J1 binds to mature amyloid fibrils and antagonizes fibril-mediated
enhancement of viral infection. Unlike cellulose sulfate, a polyanion that failed
in clinical trial to prevent HIV-1 sexual transmission, ADS-J1 shows no ability
to facilitate fibril formation. More importantly, the combination of ADS-J1 with
several antiretroviral drugs exhibited synergistic effects against HIV-1
infection in semen, with little cytotoxicity to vaginal epithelial cells. Our
results suggest that ADS-J1 or a derivative may be incorporated into a
combination microbicide for prevention of the sexual transmission of HIV-1.
