ABSTRACT Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection requires cell surface expression of CD4. Costimulation of CD8+/CD4− T lymphocytes by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies or by allogeneic dendritic cells induced expression of CD4 and rendered these CD8 cells susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Naive CD45RA+ cells responded with greater expression of CD4 than did CD45RO+ cells. CD8+lymphocytes derived from fetal or newborn sources exhibited a greater tendency to express CD4, consistent with their naive states. This mechanism of infection suggests HIV-induced perturbation of the CD8 arm of the immune response and could explain the generally rapid disease progression seen in HIV-infected children.

ABSTRACT The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein Vpu enhances virus particle release by counteracting a host factor that retains virions at the surfaces of infected cells. It was recently demonstrated that cellular protein BST-2/CD317/Tetherin restricts HIV-1 release in a Vpu-dependent manner. Calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand (CAML) was also proposed to be involved in this process. We investigated whether CAML is involved in cell surface expression of Tetherin. Here, we show that CAML overexpression in permissive Cos-7 cells or CAML depletion in restrictive HeLa cells has no effect on HIV-1 release or on Tetherin surface expression, indicating that CAML is not required for Tetherin-mediated restriction of HIV-1 release.

ABSTRACT Proteolytic processing of the abundant plasmatic human CC chemokine 1 (HCC-1) generates a truncated form, HCC-1[9-74], which is a potent agonist of CCR1, CCR3, and CCR5; promotes calcium influx and chemotaxis of T lymphoblasts, monocytes, and eosinophils; and inhibits infection by CCR5-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates. In the present study we demonstrate that HCC-1[9-74] interacts with the second external loop of CCR5 and inhibits replication of CCR5-tropic HIV-1 strains in both primary T cells and monocyte-derived macrophages. Low concentrations of the chemokine, however, frequently enhanced the replication of CCR5-tropic HIV-1 isolates but not the replication of X4-tropic HIV-1 isolates. Only HCC-1[9-74] and HCC-1[10-74], but not other HCC-1 length variants, displayed potent anti-HIV-1 activities. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis revealed that HCC-1[9-74] caused up to 75% down-regulation of CCR5 cell surface expression, whereas RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) achieved a reduction of only about 40%. Studies performed with green fluorescent protein-tagged CCR5 confirmed that both HCC-1[9-74] and RANTES, but not full-length HCC-1, mediated specific internalization of the CCR5 HIV-1 entry cofactor. Our results demonstrate that the interaction with HCC-1[9-74] causes effective intracellular sequestration of CCR5, but they also indicate that the effect of HCC-1[9-74] on viral replication is subject to marked cell donor- and HIV-1 isolate-dependent variations.

ABSTRACT Primary macrophages are infected by macrophage (M)-tropic but not T-cell line (T)-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains, and CCR5 and CXCR-4 are the principal cofactors utilized for CD4-mediated entry by M-tropic and T-tropic isolates, respectively. Macrophages from individuals homozygous for an inactivating mutation of CCR5 are resistant to prototype M-tropic strains that depend on CCR5 but are permissive for a dual-tropic isolate, 89.6, that can use both CCR5 and CXCR-4, as well as CCR2b, CCR3, and CCR8. Here we show that 89.6 entry into CCR5-deficient macrophages is blocked by an anti-CXCR-4 antibody and by the CXCR-4-specific chemokine SDF but not by the ligands to CCR2b or CCR3. Reverse transcription-PCR demonstrated expression of CXCR-4 but not CCR3 or CCR8 in macrophages, while CCR2b was variable. Macrophage surface expression of CXCR-4 was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. Thus, CXCR-4 is expressed by primary macrophages and functions as a cofactor for entry by dual-tropic but not T-tropic HIV-1 isolates, and macrophage resistance to T-tropic strains does not result from a lack of the T-tropic entry cofactor CXCR-4. Since CXCR-4 on macrophages can be used by some but not other isolates, these results indicate that HIV-1 strains differ in how they utilize chemokine receptors as cofactors for entry and that the ability of a chemokine receptor to mediate HIV-1 entry differs, depending on the cell type in which it is expressed.

ABSTRACT CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor used by some strains of HIV-1 as an entry coreceptor in association with cell surface CD4 on human cells. In human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals, the appearance of viral isolates with a tropism for CXCR4 (T tropic) has been correlated with late disease progression. The presumed natural ligands for CXCR4 are SDF-1α and SDF-1β, which are proposed to play a role in blocking T-tropic HIV-1 cell entry. Here, we demonstrate that addition of an N-terminal methionine residue to SDF-1β (Met-SDF-1β) results in a dramatically enhanced functional activity compared to that of native SDF-1β. Equivalent concentrations of Met-SDF-1β are markedly more inhibitory for T-tropic HIV-1 replication than SDF-1β. A comparison of the biological activities of these two forms of SDF-1β reveals that Met-SDF-1β induces a more pronounced intracellular calcium flux yet binds with slightly lower affinity to CXCR4 than SDF-1β. Down-modulation of CXCR4 is similar after exposure of cells to either chemokine form for 2 h. However, after a 48-h incubation, the surface expression of CXCR4 is much lower for cells treated with Met-SDF-1β. The enhanced blocking of T-tropic HIV-1 by Met-SDF-1β appears to be related to prolonged CXCR4 down-modulation.

ABSTRACT Using virions harvested from 293T cells stably expressing either low or high levels of surface ICAM-1, we determined that the number of virus-embedded host ICAM-1 proteins is positively influenced by the expression level of ICAM-1 on virus producer cells. Moreover, the increase in virion-bound host cell membrane ICAM-1 led to a concomitant enhancement of virus infectivity when a T-cell-tropic strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was used. The phenomenon was also seen when primary human cells were infected with virions pseudotyped with the envelope protein from a macrophage-tropic HIV-1 isolate, thus ruling out any envelope-specific effect. We also observed that target cells treated with NKI-L16, an anti-LFA-1 antibody known to increase the affinity of LFA-1 for ICAM-1, were markedly more susceptible to infection with HIV-1 particles bearing on their surfaces large numbers of host-derived ICAM-1 proteins. Given that cellular activation of leukocytes is known to modify the conformational state of LFA-1 and induce ICAM-1 surface expression, it is tempting to speculate that activation of virus-infected cells will lead to the production of HIV-1 particles bearing more host ICAM-1 on their surfaces and that such progeny virions will preferentially infect and replicate more efficiently in activated cells which are prevalent in lymphoid organs.

ABSTRACT It has been reported that patients infected with nef-defective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) do not progress to AIDS; however, mutations that abrogate Nef expression are not common in long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs). We postulated that Nef function might be impaired in LTNPs, irrespective of the presence or absence of detectable amino acid sequence anomalies. To challenge this hypothesis we compared in vitro function of nef alleles that were derived from three groups of Japanese patients: LTNPs, progressors, and asymptomatic carriers (ACs). The patient-derived nef alleles were subcloned into a nef-defective infectious HIV-1 molecular clone and an expression vector. We first examined Nef-dependent enhancement of infection in a single-round infectivity assay by the use of MAGNEF cells, in which Nef is required more strictly for the infection than in the parent MAGI cells. All nef alleles from LTNPs showed reduced enhancement in the infectivity of nef-defective HIV-1 mutants compared to the nef alleles of progressors or ACs. Second, we found that nef alleles from LTNPs were less efficient in CD4 downregulation than those of progressors or ACs. Third, all nef alleles from LTNPs, progressors, and ACs reduced the cell surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class I to a similar level. Last, there was no correlation between Hck-binding activity of Nef and clinical grouping. In conclusion, we detected inefficient enhancement of HIV-1 infectivity and CD4 downregulation by HIV-1 nef alleles of LTNPs. It awaits further study to conclude that these characteristics of nef alleles are the cause or the consequence of the long-term nonprogression after HIV-1 infection.
