Phenotype and Polyfunctional Deregulation Involving Interleukin 6 (IL-6)– and IL-10–Producing Monocytes in HIV-Infected Patients Receiving Combination Antiretroviral Therapy Differ From Those in Healthy Older Individuals

Abstract: Inflammatory alterations associated with monocytes during HIV infection are different from those in aging individuals. This monocyte dysfunction, mainly characterized by high levels of IL-6- and IL-10-producing monocytes, may have clinical implications in HIV-infected patients that are different from those in aging individuals.

“…The maintenance of the higher expression levels of CD300a inhibitory receptor in cART-treated HIV-1-infected subjects could be a reflection of the continuous immune activation in these patients, even after cART. It is well known that although cART decreases viral load to undetectable levels, as HIV is not completely eradicated, the activation of the immune system still occurs ( 32 , 42 45 ).…”

“… 17 One of the main drivers of arterial inflammation is activated monocyte production of interleukin 6 (IL–6). 18 , 19 IL–6 has been strongly associated with atherosclerotic disease 20 22 and all–cause mortality among HIV–infected persons in Botswana and elsewhere. 22 , 23 Similarly, soluble CD163, a haemoglobin scavenger protein released from activated monocytes, has been linked to arterial inflammation and all–cause mortality among HIV–infected persons.…”

“…We observed a high variability on the time of exposure to the MVC-cART previous to vaccination (median [IQR], 16 [538] months). Thus, we explored if this could have affected its impact on immunological variables.…”

“…It is reasonable to speculate that the added age-associated immunodeficiency could limit or mask the potential benefits of such antiretroviral therapy on the immunological profile. Accordingly, the immunosenescence, which compromises HBV vaccine responsiveness [14], is accentuated or presents unique features in an HIV-infection scenario [37, 38]. On the other hand, it is well-known that age limits HBV vaccine responsiveness [39].…”
