چکیده

It has been recently demonstrated that circulating microbial products are responsible for a systemic immune activation in individuals infected with HIV-type 1. Bacterial products carry structural conserved motifs recognized by TLRs. Some TLR members are expressed in primary human CD4 T cells but the precise functional role played by these pattern recognition receptors is still imprecise. In this study, we report that engagement of TLR2 in quiescent naive and memory CD4 T cells leads to the acquisition of an effector-like phenotype. Interestingly, engagement of TLR2 renders both cell subsets more susceptible to productive infection with X4 virions and a higher virus production was seen with R5 viruses. It can be proposed that exposure of resting CD4 T cells to pathogen-derived products that can engage TLR2 induces the acquisition of an effector-like phenotype in naive and memory CD4 T lymphocytes, a phenomenon that might result in an acceleration of virus replication, immune dysregulation, and HIVtype 1-mediated disease progression.

LFA-1 is a key determinant for preferential infection of memory CD4+ T cells by human immunodeficiency virus type 1.

Memory CD4+ T cells are considered a stable latent reservoir for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and a barrier to eradication of this retroviral infection in patients under therapy. It has been shown that memory CD4+ T cells are preferentially infected with HIV-1, but the exact mechanism(s) responsible for this higher susceptibility remains obscure. Previous findings indicate that i...

Both memory and CD45RA+/CD62L+ naive CD4(+) T cells are infected in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected individuals.

Cellular activation is critical for the propagation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. It has been suggested that truly naive CD4(+) T cells are resistant to productive HIV-1 infection because of their constitutive resting state. Memory and naive CD4(+) T-cell subsets from 11 HIV-1-infected individuals were isolated ex vivo by a combination of magnetic bead depletion and ...

T Lymphocytes in AIDS Patients With Tuberculosis

CD 4 + and CD 8 + T lymphocyte counts, naive and memory/effector CD 4 + T subpopulations, and the expression of CD 38 on CD 8 + T lymphocytes were evaluated in four groups: AIDS patients with tuberculosis (HIV/TB, n=14), HIV-1 infected patients (HIV, n=10), HIV-1 negative patients with tuberculosis (TB, n=20) and healthy controls (CTL, n=17). TB and HIV had fewer CD 4 + T cells than CTL, with t...

Loss of inducible virus in CD45RA naive cells after human immunodeficiency virus-1 entry accounts for preferential viral replication in CD45RO memory cells.

Controversy exists concerning the preferential infection and replication of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) within naive (CD45RA+) and memory (CD45RO+) subsets of CD4+ lymphocytes. To explore the susceptibility of these subsets to HIV-1 infection, we purified CD45RA+/CD4+ (RA) and CD45RO+/CD4+ (RO) cells from normal donors and subjected them to a novel monokine activation culture scheme....
