Myeloid dendritic cells in HIV-1 infection

Abstract: Purpose of review Myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) are pivotal players in HIV-1 infection. They promote transmission and spread and at the same time are critical for recognizing HIV-1 and initiating immune responses to fight infection. Notably, their immunostimulatory capabilities can be harnessed to design better HIV-1 vaccines. In this review, advances in these areas of mDC-HIV-1 interactions are summarized. Recent findings New insights into HIV-1-induced dysfunction of mDCs and dysfunctional mDC effects on … Show more

“…NHP studies corroborate reports in HIV-infected patients showing that antiretroviral therapy restores mDCs and suggesting that direct killing of mDCs by the virus is a potential mechanism. mDCs can indeed be infected by HIV-1, the virus burden in mDCs isolated from chronically HIV-1-infected patients being considerable [15]. However, mDC depletion from circulation was also reported for HIV-2–infected patients and RMs infected with SIVmac (which is closely related to HIV-2), albeit mDCs appear to be less susceptible to HIV-2 infection [16], suggesting that additional factors may be responsible for mDC depletion.…”

“…There, DCs are one of the earliest cell types to be exposed to the virus and present an inherent capacity to orchestrate a homeostatic balance between tolerance and protection [14]. It is likely that the incapacity to keep a balance in these homeostatic processes will promote inflammation and lead to disease progression [5].…”
