Human intestinal lamina propria lymphocytes are naturally permissive to HIV-1 infection

Abstract: The presence of HIV-1 in the intestinal mucosa of AIDS patients has been reported and human intestinal lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL) have been proposed as important targets for HIV-1 infection. However, little information is available concerning the permissiveness of human intestinal CD4+ T lymphocytes to HIV-1 infection. Here, we show that human LPL, in contrast to autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), are permissive to both X4 T-tropic and R5 M-tropic strains of HIV-1, as well as to clinical isol… Show more

“…This activation turns them into a preferential target for HIV replication, with consequent higher destruction of CD4+TL (12). It has been recently shown that mucosal mononuclear cells are more easily infected with HIV than peripheral cells, a fact that contributes to their destruction (34,35). In the absence of opportunistic infections, as in the present study, the activation status tends to be lower, with a lower destruction of mucosal CD4+TL.…”

“…VSV has been shown in vitro to infect activated T and B cells, and the LP is rich in such cells (44 -46). If true in vivo, this infection may provide interesting parallels to that mediated by viruses such as HIV and SIV, which focus in intestinal mucosa and infect activated lymphocytes (47)(48)(49). It has been difficult to isolate VSV from infected mice even early after infection, but a nonproductive infection in vivo, such as has been described in vitro for B cells, could provide an Ag depot that is slowly cleared by cytolytic CD8 T cells.…”

“…Previous immunohistologic studies showed that CCR5 Ï© cells dominate in the lamina propria (37), and it is well established that lamina propria T cells are derived from PP T cells. In addition, it has been shown that infection of macaques with CCR5 tropic strains of chimeric SIV, but not CCR4 tropic strains, leads to a dramatic loss of lamina propria T cells (38).…”
