Replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in primary dendritic cell cultures.

Abstract: The ability of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (mHV-1) to replicate in primary blood dendritic cells was investigated. Dendritic cells compose <1% of the circulating leukocytes and are nondividing cells. Highly purified preparations of dendritic cells were obtained using recent advances in cell fractionation. The results of these experiments show that dendritic cells, in contrast to monocytes and T cells, support the active replication of all strains of HIV-1 tested, including T-cell tropic and monocyt… Show more

“…These results appeared to correlate with the greater transcription of HIV genes in 89.6-infected PBMC compared to 89.6-infected DC. In our hands, several of the virus strains tested replicated poorly in DC, including HIV-IIIB, the one strain tested by Patterson & Knight (1987), Langhoff et al (1991), Cameron et al (1992 and ourselves. We observed only marginal p24 antigen production by DC with these strains.…”

“…The DC preparations used in these experiments were obtained by metrizamide gradient centrifugation, were partially enriched and contained approximately 50 % monocytes (Knight et al, 1986). Langhoff et al (1991), using a method of enrichment originally described by Young & Steinman (1988), described the susceptibility of DC maintained in PHA-conditioned medium to infection with several HIV clones. These authors reported that fresh DC produced much more virus (>~ 10-fold) than did activated T lymphocytes or monocytes.…”

“…Studies of exogenous infection of dendriiic cells have similarly suffered from the lack of specific dendritic cell markers and incomplete purification. Infection ofdendritic cell-enriched populations has been reported [39][40][41] although the potent APC function of dendritic cells may allow for rapid expansion and infection of trace numbers of Tcells. Although scveraireport.s indicated that epidermal dendriiic ceils (Langerhans ceils) are infected, recent reports find these dendriiic celis to be uninfected [42,43], Our dala would suggest that blood dendritic cells are unlikely to contribute to CD4 loss by infection and direct transmission of virus during lhe initiation of CD4' T cell clonal expansion.…”

“…Several studies demonstrate that blood DCs are susceptible to HIV infection in vitro, 16,17 but the question of infection in vivo has remained controversial. [18][19][20][21] Similarly, there are conflicting reports regarding the ability of DCs from HIV-1-infected patients to stimulate T-lymphocyte proliferation.…”

“…Evidence of infection would be important as it would provide a mechanism to explain DC loss and might facilitate infection of T lymphocytes during antigen presentation. Down-regulation of T-lymphocyte stimulatory capacity together with reduced numbers would severely suppress cell-mediated immunity and contribute to the immunosuppression seen in HIV-1 infection.Several studies demonstrate that blood DCs are susceptible to HIV infection in vitro, 16,17 but the question of infection in vivo has remained controversial. [18][19][20][21] Similarly, there are conflicting reports regarding the ability of DCs from HIV-1-infected patients to stimulate T-lymphocyte proliferation.…”
