Abstract The effect of cGMP cyclic GMP dependent protein kinase 1-P PKG1-P and cGMP analogues on transcriptional activity and replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 was investigated. Transfection of PKG1 p expression plasmid increased expression from an HIV-1 LTR-reporter as well as from an infectious HIV-l molecular clone pNL4-3. Treatment of HIV-l AD8-infected monocyte derived macrophages MDMs with cGMP agonists and cGMP antagonists caused respectively increased and decreased virus replication. These findings provide evidence that cGMP and PKG serve to regulate HIV-1 infection in human cells. Findings Previously nitric oxide NO was postulated to have a negative effect on HIV-1 replication through a cGMP-inde-pendent route 1 . However it was not characterized as to how this cGMP-independent effect manifested mechanistically. On the other hand it is well-accepted that a major intracellular signaling pathway for NO is .
