 AB    We have studied the role of intracellular calcium sequestration on human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) production by latently infected
       T-lymphocytic cells. Inhibition of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum-type
       calcium transport ATPases by thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid induced
       activation of HIV production in the CEM-derived ACH-2 cells. An
       approximately 50% depletion of the thapsigargin-sensitive calcium pools
       as measured fluorimetrically of Indo-loaded cells fully activated virus
       production. Viral activation was manifest by increases in soluble viral
       core p24 production, increases in cellular immunofluorescent staining
       for viral antigens, and increased viral transcription as measured by HIV
       long terminal repeat-directed expression of the chloramphenicol
       acetyltransferase reporter gene. Virus induction could be blocked in a
       dose-dependent manner by the calcium channel blocker econazole. Virus
       production by the Jurkat-derived HIV-1-inducible J1.1 cells was not
       significantly stimulated by thapsigargin. These data indicate that
       intracellular calcium pool function is involved in the control of the
       transcription of proviral HIV in a cell type-specific manner within the
       T-lymphoid lineage and that ACH-2 cells represent a useful model for the
       study of calcium dependent activation of the transcription of proviral
       HIV.
