Abstract The alveolar macrophage (AM), as a representative human tissue macrophage, was used in an in vitro system to examine the anti-human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) activity of zidovudine (AZT) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). AMs were infected with the IIIB strain of HIV-1 and exposed to AZT (1 mumol/L), GM-CSF (30 U/mL), a combination of AZT (1 mumol/L)/GM-CSF (30 U/mL), or medium control. At 10 or 20 days post-infection, phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBMLs) were added to the AM cultures as stimulated target cells. AZT effectively suppressed HIV replication and prevented transfer/amplification in target PBMLs as long as the drug was maintained in the medium. GM-CSF neither suppressed nor augmented HIV replication. The combination of AZT/GM-CSF was comparable with AZT alone in suppressing both the initial infection of AMs and the transfer to target PBMLs as long as the agents were maintained in the cultures. However, when the drugs were removed at the same time that PHA-stimulated PBMLs were added to the culture, the combination of AZT/GM-CSF was found to be more effective than AZT alone in preventing the transfer/amplification of HIV in the target lymphocytes. These results suggest that (1) AZT is effective in inhibiting HIV-1 infection in mononuclear phagocytes; (2) GM-CSF neither inhibits nor augments the replication of the IIIB strain of HIV in human AMs; and (3) the combination of AZT and GM-CSF may have an enhanced anti-HIV-1 activity compared with AZT alone. Clinical trials with the two agents in combination appear warranted.

ABSTRACT Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infects cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. While infection of macrophages by HIV-1 is generally not cytopathic, it does impair macrophage function. In this study, we examined the effect of HIV-1 infection on intracellular signaling in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) stimulated with the growth factor granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). GM-CSF is an important growth factor for cells of both the macrophage and granulocyte lineages and enhances effector functions of these cells via the heterodimeric GM-CSF receptor (GM-CSFR). A major pathway which mediates the effects of GM-CSF on macrophages involves activation of the latent transcription factor STAT5A via a Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-dependent pathway. We demonstrate that GM-CSF-induced activation of STAT5A is inhibited in MDM after infection in vitro with the laboratory-adapted R5 strain of HIV-1, HIV-1Ba-L, but not after infection with adenovirus. HIV-1 infection of MDM did not decrease the STAT5A or JAK2 mRNA level or STAT5A protein level or result in increased constitutive activation of STAT5A. Surface expression of either the α-chain or common βc-chain of GM-CSFR was also unaffected. We conclude that HIV-1 inhibits GM-CSF activation of STAT5A without affecting expression of the known components of the signaling pathway. These data provide further evidence of disruption of cellular signaling pathways after HIV-1 infection, which may contribute to immune dysfunction and HIV-1 pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT Human macrophages express chemokine receptors that act as coreceptors for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and are major targets for HIV-1 infection in vivo. The effects of cytokines on HIV-1 infection of macrophages and on the expression of CCR5, the principal coreceptor for macrophage-tropic viruses, have now been investigated. Expression of CCR5 on the surface of freshly isolated human monocytes was virtually undetectable by flow cytometry with the monoclonal antibody 5C7. However, after culture of monocytes for 48 h in serum-free medium, approximately 30% of the resulting macrophages expressed CCR5 and the cells were susceptible to infection by macrophage-tropic HIV-1. Addition of either macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to the cultures markedly increased both the extent of HIV-1 entry and replication as well as surface expression of CCR5. In contrast, addition of the T-helper 2 (Th2) cell-derived cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) or IL-13 prevented the expression of CCR5 induced by culture in medium alone, and IL-4 inhibited virus entry, replication, and cytopathicity under these conditions. IL-4 or IL-13 also prevented the stimulatory effects of M-CSF or GM-CSF on CCR5 expression as well as HIV-1 entry and replication. In addition, IL-4 reversed the increase in CCR5 expression induced by pretreatment of cells with M-CSF. Although IL-10 also inhibits HIV-1 replication in macrophages, it did not suppress surface CCR5 expression induced by colony-stimulating factors. These results indicate that the cytokine environment determines the susceptibility of macrophages to HIV-1 infection by various mechanisms, one of which is the regulation of HIV-1 coreceptor expression.

We investigated the effects of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) administered by the subcutaneous route, first alone and then alternating with azidothymidine (AZT), in leukopenic patients with severe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Ten patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or related disorders, five of whom could not tolerate conventional doses of AZT, were administered rGM-CSF subcutaneously for 12 days. They then were administered an alternating regimen using AZT for 1 week, followed by 5 days of subcutaneous rGM-CSF and 2 days without any medication. During the initial 12 days of GM-CSF administration, there was an increase in the mean white blood cell (WBC) value. In addition, rGM-CSF stimulated circulating monocytes as evidenced by an increase in superoxide anion production and expression of surface HLA-DR antigen. However, at the same time rGM-CSF increased the serum HIV p24 antigen in each of the six evaluable patients from 189 x/divided by 2.02 pg/mL (geometric mean x/divided by SEM) at entry to 375 x/divided by 2.11 pg/mL (P less than .05). During the subsequent period of alternating AZT and rGM-CSF treatment, serum HIV p24 antigen fell below the day 14 value in most patients, particularly after the weeks of AZT administration. The mean T4 cell value increased in patients who had not previously received AZT, but generally did not change in those who had prior AZT exposure. Hematologic toxicity appeared to be somewhat reduced compared with continuous full-dose AZT therapy, and two patients with previous AZT hematologic toxicity tolerated this alternating regimen for 25 weeks. Additional regimens simultaneously combining these two agents are worth exploring.

Abstract In this report we show that recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) and rh macrophage (M)-CSF induce accumulation of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) mRNA in blood-derived mononuclear phagocytes (MNP). GM-CSF and M-CSF treatment of MNP is also associated with IL-1 beta secretion. Regulation of GM- and M-CSF- induced IL-1 beta mRNA expression involves transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. However, the action of IL-3 on synthesis of IL-1 beta mRNA differs from that of other CSFs: While GM- CSF and M-CSF induce binding activity of the nuclear factor (NF) kappa B, IL-3 treatment of MNP has no profound effect on NF kappa B binding to DNA. Moreover, IL-3 decreases the transcription rate of the IL-1 beta gene and has only little effect on stability of IL-1 beta mRNA, which is increased by GM- and M-CSF. However, IL-3 enhances M-CSF- induced accumulation of IL-1 beta mRNA by unknown posttranscriptional means that may relate to an increased expression of M-CSF receptor (ie, c-fms) mRNA, detectable in mononuclear phagocytes on exposure to IL-3.
